Questionable Electrical Wiring
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2018 11:40 am
Hello All,
I like the look of the new forum...I haven't been here in quite some time...good to see the same dedicated forum moderators.
I am still living in my 1985 Champion single-wide..22 years now, with no major problems lately. I did come across a disturbing switch wiring job...it was an attic fan shut-off switch designed to bypass the attic thermostat. The fan motor burned out years ago, so I just disconnected the wires at the fan box in the roof.
On the shut-off switch I found three wires attached to the hot wire terminal (one back-stabbed, and two others barely attached to the screw)...no hooks on the wire ends. I'm not sure if this is to code, but doesn't seem so. Makes me wonder about the rest of the home wiring.
Anyone know where the circuit runs are placed from the breaker box to the far ends of the trailer? Doesn't seem like they would pass through all the wall studs but either in the attic space or in the belly...would be interesting to know where they are located.
