Title: Wiring Diagram B-2037 U280 URED 12V
Post by: rvtinker on December 29, 2017, 09:39:08 am
One of the wiring diagrams that came with my unit appears to be a poor quality photocopy.  Years of being folded has caused a lot of ink transfer which makes it quite difficult to read.  I haven't been able to find a copy of this one in the media files.  It is marked Start Unit 3775, U280 URED 12V Wiring Diagram, drawing number B-2037 dated 3/01/90.  Has anyone got a good copy they can scan, or should I contact Foretravel or are they all like this?

When we went to Ladies Driving School they gave all the participants a nice clear copy of the wiring diagrams for their model coach.  My B-2037 is marked "U280 E17, dated 3/01/90".  Probably not exactly the same as yours, but may be close.  I copied it in 2 parts - best I can do on our old Epson machine.  With a little creative trimming and taping, you should end up with a useable diagram.

PS:  These files are now available in our Forum media library.

Nice job Chuck! How about uploading both to our schematic library at: http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=194  I looked on both library pages but could not find B-2037 so it will help fill in the missing schematics.

Done (I think...had to do it in two files?)

Looks perfect Chuck. For new members, check out the "media" section on the far right just under the Foretravel Owner's Forum. Photo is worth a thousand words. See attachment.

Thanks much!  I merged it back into a single image and uploaded it at:

Cool!  How did you do the "merge"?  I couldn't figure out how to do that...

Mike did a nice job of merging the two. What a team!

Since this is one of the most important schematics, why not take it to Kinko or another print shop and make a large copy for easy reading when a problem comes up. Roll it and keep it and others in a mailing tube. Bill Chaplin taught me this one.

I just Windows paint to merge the images then printed to a pdf.  (I looked up how to do it on Google.)  I work in GIS mapping, and have three large format plotters about 15 feet from my desk.  Printing the schematics as full size drawings was the plan, as well as pdfs for easy access from a computer.
