Need a little help

[ajrose2]

We currently don't have a battery installed in our camper. Planing on do so but I have 4 wires that are not connected can anyone tell me where they go? I have a 1972 Argosy. The wires in question are the red and black from the battery box and blue and white wires. I have attached pictures.

On my 74 overlander, thick red was the battery +, thick black was the battery -, thick blue was the aux + from the tow vehicle, and thick white was the - from the tow vehicle. Blue connected to the fuse panel through an appropriate size fuse. White connected to the negative bus on the fuse panel. And battery wires connected the battery to the charger. You can probably Google your way to a wiring diagram for your specific model.

Also the purple, pink, and yellow wires are all the same gauge, so it would follow that they should probably all have the same fuse rating. If someone went from a 20 to a 30 amp fuse because the fuse kept blowing, that's how electrical fires happen.

Finally, why is brown on the neutral bus? On my Overlander, brown is connected to the positive bus through a fuse, same as the other colored wires. Do you happen to have a section of 12V plugs/lights in your trailer that aren't working? That might be why.

I am not see the brown wire, the wire I think you might be talking about is a copper wire, going from the fuse panel up to the other box
