Aqua Hot wiring on a non-aqua hot coach

The picture below shows underneath the coach on the board - there is a label for aqua hot wiring.  Our U275 doesnt have that option.  This wire was inconveniently located and had to be snipped to remove the inverter.  Without testing everything individually - does anyone know if we need to reattach, is there a possibility it was used for something else?  Or am I safe to coil this up and secure? No reason to think there are any applicable post factory mods that would have used this.

You might try temporarily restoring the connection through an Amp meter to see if any current flows. If so, it is connected to and powering something. I have no idea what.

Do you have the schematics?

Be sure to check your furnace operation also.

Good suggestion on furnace.  Works fine.  I have the schematics, and went there first - but found no mention of aqua hot on the U270-specific schematics.  It may well be there though, but I don't have skilled eyes.

Guess I'll just leave it as-is, and if I find something not working in a week - I'll know where to look first.

Although uncommon, aquaHot was available as an option on all models, including U270's.

If you have three diesel exhaust pipes, you have AquaHot. If you have a visible furnace exhaust and water heater, you do not.

I definitely have no aqua hot.  Wouldn't that be a nice surprise to discover, though!

I have seen that breaker used for the basement freezer option and to feed the basement TV 12VDC power port.

Doesn't look like a Foretravel termination. Someone added something sometime.

Good point - I hadn't even considered the visual difference.  Thanks.  Then I guess we had better put this thing the back the way it was.
