Wind generator?

No problem Terry, I enjoy a side trip every now and a gain.

I don't know if there was a wiring change between 1959 and 1963, but in '59 there was a separate 2-wire harness for charging the battery. The brakes and signals went through a 6 pin connector.

Most owners bought a separate 12v charger at Sears to handle charging the battery when on hook-up.

Don, my 63 has a standard 7 pin connector, but it may have been changed by the PO a couple of decades ago. I don't remember seeing any extra wires anywhere near the plug, though. Maybe one more of those "in process" changes that occurred over time.

If it had a separate charging line, you would see connector on the front curbside of the coach. It also had a plate with a caution statement about matching battery polarity to the tow vehicle. Some cars back then still had positive ground wiring.

They must have changed it sometime between '59 and '63.

Interesting. I have a round ceramic fixture at the front curbside corner, just below the TV antenna lead. It has two flathead machine screws, but no power, and no warning label. Could this be the connector?
I can take a pic tomorrow, and post a photo here.
