Hi All,

I am new to the forum, and have a new to me 2000 CC Intrigue. Just getting to know the systems, and am trying to figure out some of the AC wiring on the coach. The unit did not come with a washer/dryer, but there is a breaker on the panel that is marked as such. I took the panel off to see if there was a wire attached to this breaker, and sure enough there was, but I am darned if I can find the other end of this thing. Have tried the obvious locations, like the washer/dryer space and closet areas, also under the fridge, no apparent access panels.
I was hoping to use this circuit for a space heater as I wanted something that did not go through the inverter.
Any ideas would be welcome.....Great Forum by the way.
Cheers,
Grant

I have two AC plugs, one in the face of my bathroom sink cabinet, and one in the pantry area, marked "not integrated". Those are connected to an AC plug in the water bay, directly to the power supply pedestal, and the ones I use for space heaters. Some heaters are not liked by the inverter. My washing machine has a plug at the back of the cabinet where my washer/dryer lives. Hope this helps.

Most, if not all CCs were pre-wired for washer/dryer, hence the washer/dryer breaker and associated wiring... Methinks the wires from the breaker end up somewhere in the washer/dryer closet...
Get yourself a good light and see if there is a removable panel (probably held by screws) on the back or side-walls of the washer/dryer closet...

Hi Grant, I hope I can help. Our floor plan (Suite of Dreams) in 2002 #11329 puts the receptical and plumbing for the W/D on the curb side wall in a closet between the bedroom and toilet. The access panel is on the bottrm of this closet, or top of the W/D area. I don't know if your floor plan is the same. Hope this helps....Skip

Thanks Buck, and all the other replies, Lo and behold, after taking the shelves out, there it was, a removable( it had me fooled for a bit as the screws were hidden by a glued on trim piece) panel. Not all that easy to remove, but all the wiring and plumbing were in place....now a "simple" matter of running the wire under the fridge to the dinette area and my bride will have some "feet heat".
Thanks Again for all the replies,
Cheers,

Grant Simpson
