25 footer FB electrical question

Where is the inverter located on the 25 model ... in particular, the Eddie Bauer (if it is different in terms of electrical system)?
How is the service connection from the front outside of the 25er routed to the fuse / breaker panel?

Mine is an older unit and not an EB. My inverter is located under the front bed towards the front of the trailer. I do not have the optional electrical service in the front of my trailer. Mine is in the back.

I don't have a clue how it is routed since none of it is visible. You can see where it comes into the trailer. Look by the converter, under the bed towards the back of the trailer.

Not much help, I know.

Both of my daughters went to the U of M.

You can check with the folks at that big RV dealer just off I-90. Bretz RV I think? They used to deal Airstreams and I am sure someone in the service dept could answer your questions.

Go Griz!

My guess would be that both the converter and the optional inverter would be near the batteries. Since the batteries are on the tongue they should be in the front of the trailer in a cabinet or under the bed.

The power comes from the main cord to 1 input of the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) and from the generator outlet to the other input, then to the breakers. From what I've read the ATS may be built into the converter.

I have not seen any of this in a newer Airstream so just a guess.

Thanks for the replies ... this is hard to figure (positioning-wise) when you are currently in an FC20 looking to get the 25EB ...

Aftermath ... Go Griz, indeed!
