What is a Wiring Schematic?
It can also be called a wiring diagram and those words are interchangeable. A wiring diagram or schematic is an abstract drawing of how the wires look inside your RV. All brands, including Fleetwood, create these diagrams to help electricians know where to look and what wires connect where.
To the untrained eye, these diagrams may look more like a maze or a jigsaw puzzle and can be hard to read. If you are not trained in electrical work then it is best to hire someone who is.
Getting the wires wrong can cause a lot of other problems that will be more expensive to repair or replace. While you have access to a wiring diagram, know your limitations and let the experts handle it if you are having electrical problems.
You can help the pros by downloading and printing the correct wiring diagram for your model of Fleetwood RV or travel trailer. Keep in mind that the diagrams posted here as an image or as a download will not cover all Fleetwood models.
You may have to search a little more for your size and model of Fleetwood RV or travel trailer.

This first link will take you to a 2020 Fleetwood model and it seems to be for the chassis only. We have tried to search for more modern models but that does not seem to eliminate the older wiring diagrams from coming up in our search efforts. Here are a couple of links to older models of Fleetwood RVs that may be of some help to some owners. Click here and here.
When you do the search, check the image results to see if the one you need is among the many shown in that search result. We saw quite a few but the images were not large enough to place here.
We like the last link in this section as it places a drawing of one RV model showing where the wires go in relation to the location of the features and appliances built into that RV model.
This last link gives you a string of drawings and photos to show you different aspects of the wiring system on one particular Fleetwood model. Fortunately, all these wiring diagrams are free to look at and possibly free to download.
Wiring Diagram Tips
1. When looking at the diagram keep in mind that RVs and travel trailers have two electrical systems. One is AC and the other is DC. Do not confuse the wiring systems like that can cause you a lot of trouble as well.
2. DC wiring is for the priorities installed in your RV or travel trailer. Those priorities will be stove, oven, water heater and even fridge, water pump and more.
AC power is for the features and extras like t.v.s, stereos, lights, and anything needing 120 volts.
3. You will have converters and inverters to deal with. Both devices have their purpose and you should not confuse those purposes with each other. Converters change AC to DC and the inverter does the reverse.
4. There are different sources of power. Shore power is usually only AC current. Battery and solar are usually DC current. Generators are AC only for the most part but some maybe both.
5. Know the different plug designs so you do not plug the power source into the wrong socket. 50-amp has 4 prongs while 30-amp plugs have only 3 prongs
Some Final Words
Getting a wiring diagram is not enough to do repairs. While they help, you do need experience in reading those diagrams as well as connecting and running wires. If you do not have the experience then you should defer to a professional who does.
Or take the time to learn to read these diagrams so you can do it yourself. Wiring is easy if you know what you are doing. Just make sure the power is turned off before you start working on any wire.
