Ok guys I found it. I flipped the breaker on and off and checked all fuses and still nothing.

Any idea where it might be I haven't come across it yet. Mine is a Winn warrior

I was testing a/c and fridge was on and suddenly I lost electricity to coach. I did have power from battery for lights so I went ahead to my overnight. Now I'm not even getting battery power to the lights. Can anyone point me to a fuse or other possible issue? I have guests coming in a few minutes.

Thanks so much for your help. I was finally able to figure out why it wasn't working. There was a 12v multi socket power block by the door inside that had a connection that just had bare wire looped thru a spade connector haphazardly. I put a wire nut on and now house lights work. Crazy!

These are great, thank you. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to hook the coach battery up without one. When I bought the MH, there was nothing connected on the positive terminal. There is a very thick wire that comes in from the top of the compartment that has a red, black and orange wire. These were all wrapped in electrical tape like they aren't supposed to be used. The black wire that comes in from the wiring blocks mounted at the top of the compartment was stripped and ready for a terminal. I assume this is hot since there are red wires also connected to the same wiring block. There is a green wire coming down which appears to ground? Electrical stuff is not my favorite. But geez, I should be able to install a battery! When I hooked the positive and ground to the terminals i don't get any lights inside. Can't figure out where I'm going wrong.

A little update on my first RV. Now that I've brought Winnifred home, I can say that I'm overall happy considering the price. Although the tranny is very weird (Drive=2nd, Park=Reverse) it isn't always like that. I've discovered that if I go to 2nd then back to drive I will actually be in drive. The good... I only paid $3500 engine is very quiet and pretty powerful (22re) tranny seems strong even with linkage problem tires are almost new, with a good spare radio is kick-behind large norcold kicks behind shower is full-sized roof is in very good condition for age, no dips or leaks awning is in great condition most things are functional brakes are excellent screens are good gas mileage is great The bad... the linkage issue speedometer, odometer, cruise control not working AC is blowing but is not cold in coach After replacing dead coach battery, it still isn't turning on lights, etc. Mickey Rat has apparently turned it into his own personal Marriott. heater blows air but not heat the tank/charge monitor panel is not lighting up (anyone know if it has a fuse, and if so where it is located) I think that for the price I'm not doing too bad. I just need to figure a few things out. With the AC, I have a friend that said he has one I can buy for $70 and he'll put it in. I'm probably going to go for it, I overheat enough even with AC as it is.

I have an '88 Warrior and I'm trying to locate a battery disconnect switch if there is one. Where should I look, or is it non-existent? The coach battery when I bought it had the positive terminal wrapped in electrical tape and there is a piece of wire with a fuse hanging off of it. An idea what that could be all about?

I would like to thank everyone that helped me on this topic. After carefully weighing pros and cons of getting this vehicle, I decided to take the plunge. I'll let you know how it goes as I discover all the "creeping features." Pammy

I like what you've done here. If I get the Warrior I think I'll do the same on the closet.

So if you had to do it over again, would you still buy your Micro Mini?

Well, it is true that my heart likes it very much...but my gut and head are surprisingly in agreement. I've been looking at quite a few in my "very low" price range and this is by far the nicest specimen. I can do quite a lot of work on it since I do have some skills and tools. However I have not done a great deal of mechanic work, the most complex thing being an alternator change on a Chevelle. The roof looks good overall, I don't see sagging. I think there may have been a very small vent leak at one time, but it was repaired. It popped out of drive. It has been sitting for almost a year apparently, the tires are good new 8 ply. Like you say, I'm trying to do my diligence by researching what you folks have learned about these beasties to help guide me.

The seller got stranded in some podunk town while passing through where there was only one shade tree mechanic. The mechanic told the seller this story.It took him 4 weeks to get the job done and then it wasn't right, but the seller was so fed up he just took it the way it was.

It's possible, but I kind of doubt it. The seller is in kidney failure and has diabetes. He is selling because he is dying and needs to go south to be cared for by a family member. I'm not sure he would have had that much juice. He had told me when I originally called that the cab unit had been working but that the last time he turned on the vehicle he couldn't get it working. Maybe he could have replaced a fuse to get it working?

Today I got my first look at this MH. The owner just got the dash air working so that is good. The engine is an 22R-E, 4 cyl (which is ok for me, I'm not towing and would prefer good fuel economy to being able to blast through mountains. It's listed as a 19 footer with 104K miles. I was very surprised at the condition of the unit, very nice. The seller upgraded the refer to a big MH fridge, upgraded to fullsize shower, took out the oven and put in a dishwasher. it has a microwave instead but there is room for a convection oven on counter if I want one. The roof air fan works but is not blowing cold. The engine sounds tight and did not smell exhaust or antifreeze. The transmission is popping out of gear along with the other problem mentioned about shifter gears. I really like this MH and the price, he lowered it by $2000 for me to $3500 to accomodate any work to be done and I'm trying to decide if I should bite. I'm pretty handy, but I wouldn't consider doing xmission work myself. Roof has been sealed and is not drooping. Floor is solid everywhere. The brakes seem to be good. There aren't any rattles or noises. What do ya'll think? Should I chance it?

Hi folks, I'm new here, just started looking for a Toy to purchase. I talked to a guy today who has a very clean 1988 Toyota Winnebago and he said he had the transmission replaced last year and apparently the guy put in the wrong transmission for that particular model (the mechanic told him there were 5 and he ended up with the wrong one. I guess it took so long to get it done, they just "called it good." The thing shifts just fine, the problem is that you don't know what gear your in on the automatic shifter, for example park is reverse or something like that. Is this a big deal? Will it give me problems down the road. It seems like once I memorize where everything is on the shifter I'll be fine, but...??? Also, the two AC units aren't working, how much does it usually cost to recharge or replace if necessary? Any wisdom would be appreciated prior to me doling out cash for this baby. Thanks!
