We just bought our first AS, a 64 GT that is in need of a lot of work. The former owner has disconnected all the wiring in the back. There is no battery or wires for it and the Univolt is gone. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 64? I would like to install a Honda EU2000, new converter, battery and ect but not sure how. Any help would be appreciated.

64's did not have a battery charging univolt. The battery could only be charged from an external source.

Instead, it was a transformer that had dual output voltages, 12 volts AC and for the fans it was 19 volts AC.

Here's an idea; go to the online Airstream owners manuals, such as http://www.airstream.com/airstream/p...%202001%20.pdf, and pick and choose what you want from the schematics in section G.

Save yourself from starting from scratch.

I've scanned the electrical section from my '64 Safari owners manual. I would guess it to be very similar to your Globetrotter. PM me if you want me to email it to you (bear in mind that to get good resolution the .pdf files are about 2MB each). I have attached images of the two schematics below for your reference.

Andy, thanks for the 411 on the Univolt - now I know why a previous owner had installed a battery charger (neat old 60's vintage Craftsman unit) in the bathroom cabinet area on my trailer.

While we're talking about electrical layouts of '64 models, I have a question. My unit has two outside flood lights (one for the porch area and one up front for hookups). These only seem to run off the battery and will not work when the battery is dead but the trailer is pluged in to city power. Is this normal?
