Avan caravan wiring diagram. New age caravans have specific wiring requirements to connect your caravan successfully to your tow vehicle. That chunky red cable in block 2 pin 5 should be relocated to pin 6. I have recently removed the caravan from the caravan yard and stored it at my cousins farm. If you can get a wiring diagram from your caravan manufacturer before we wire your car we can ensure every circuit will be in the right. I have looked at the wiring schematics multiple times and am sure that the setup isnt quite correct. When i quizzed the avan rep at the wauchope caravan camping show i was told oh you mean the blue box no theyre not designed to do that.
For instance some common locations for a fridge wire are pin 2 pin 8 pin 9 pin 11 or it could be through an anderson plug. Trailer plug wiring diagrams use the correct size cable for the plugsocket most standard plugs will accept up to a 4mm auto cable easily. We took the fuse out and checked the batteries to find they had drained. Caravan electrical solutions have wired the 12 pin plug on your new age caravan as per the table below. We changed the fuse from a 30a to a 40a and the wires started to smoke. Caravan manufacturers dont all wire their vans the same way.
When we plugged the caravan into the mains we tripped the fuse between the transformer and the batteries. Another thing that annoyed me about the avan wiring was that anywhere and everywhere a wire needed to be spliced into a circuit the installer had used scotch locks. The 12 pin flat plug have a second row of 5 larger points which will accept up to 6mm auto cable. I have also had a look at the block diagram of stratman77 and it is nice and simple to understand.
