nagging wiring question

On my trailer the wiring diagram shows the blue (hot) wire from the tow vehicle going to the ceiling fans. Why would that be?

It looks like everything else (except the AC) runs off of 12v lines from 1 of a total of 4 circuits from the 12v panel.

Why the blue wire to the ceiling fans I wonder?

Daniel the blue charge line just doubles as another circuit when plugged into shore power. They use the larger 8 guage wire to feed the ceiling fans due to the larger amp draw the fan motors will have. Mine also feeds the stereo.
When I read the title of the thread I wondered if the answer was: I get around to doing the wiring someday. Now get off my back woman.
The nagging wiring question was: When are you going to get up off your lazy a** and finish the wiring. LMAO.

Do you want it done fast or do you want it done right? lol.

That solves that mystery.
On mine mine feeds the stereo as well.
Thanks Chris!
