I'm the new owner of a 2023 Flying Cloud 25FBT and getting ready to do a battery swap / converter upgrade. Before I start digging everything up I decided to see the notorious rats nest of wires under the bed for myself and - wow - people weren't joking.
Thankfully Airstream does provide some very nice wiring diagrams in the user manual. I think I've identified everything, but there's one part that has me confused. It's the
12v relay between the positive bus bar and the WFCO
12v Distribution Panel.
One side of the relay has a wire labeled 6 Ga 'Red Distribution Buss'. The other side has a 8 Ga Red (Battery Input) and a 8 Ga Red (12 Vdc Output).
Is this the relay controlled by the battery disconnect switch near the door of the trailer? Why are both 8 Ga wires coming from the WFCO distribution panel?
Finally, where the heck is this relay? I see a box directly behind the WFCO panel - is that it? Is it in the pandora box labeled '12VDC Panel' buried under the bed?
