Info needed Skyline Aijo 2755

[automusicman]

All,

I recently purchased own a 2000 Skyline Nomad 5th Wheel RV Trailer. There is no longer any support for this unit as Skyline sold their RV biz to Evergreen in 2014 and Evergreen went bust.

I have 2 dead outlet, 1 under the table on the right (door) inside, the other is the outside outlet on the same right side of the trailer. With no factory support i called the local RV sales & service center Pittsburg RV in Pittsburg TX and was told that these older RVs used only one GFI, which the outside outlet must be connected to since the outside outlt must be GFI protected by law.

So figuring, I have to start at the only GFI outlet in the kitchen, far bask left corner, to see if I can find a discounnect.

If anyone has better or more info on this, sure would appreciate anyy feedback you can add.

Gotta get the outside outlet working to hookup the water line heaters.

Again all help appreciated!

Cheers!

From a friend, I recently 'acquired' a 1999 Aijo 2755, by Skyline, 28', 5th wheel and am also trying to find information about it. One of the enclosed pamphlets is labeled Layton. As a newbie to the RV world, many of my questions may seen naive at best, bust having been a GC, then plant engineer, as i near the '80' mark, I would hope I have some understanding of the systems.
If you or anyone has experience with this model, or similar, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

While we may not have experience with the exact RV that you have, RVs all pretty much use the same appliances and equipment. They have similar construction methods and need pretty much the same maintenance. If you have specific questions, this is a good place to ask as it is very probable that one or more of us will have experience with the issue you have.

After you posted yesterday I asked the moderators to split off your post into a new thread. This will eliminate much confusion.

RV's are usually fairly generic in their construction methods and one thing to know is few, very few brands, ever produced a manual on their products beyond a few sheets of paper with information on how to operate the water system, dump tanks, connect power, etc. Again, with the exception of one or two, the manufacturers never had any wiring diagrams or plumbing drawings, beyond their shop floor notes and drawings to the production personnel to use. Most companies when asked, claimed it was propriety and would not release it (truthfully, they probably didn't have anything to give you).

Airstream will provide wiring diagrams on request when you provide your exact model and serial number. Winnebago has excellent wiring diagrams, electrical equipment installation drawings, plumbing drawings, and coach parts catalogs, all online for free and open access, FOR THEIR MOTORIZED PRODUCTS ONLY. These are two of the very few companies that support their products to any extent.

Your biggest concerns with this RV should be, in no particular order, 1) that it has good tires no more than about 5 years old, 2) that the wheel bearings have been completely cleaned, inspected and repacked with quality grease. 3) that a through inspection of the roof is conducted and loose sealant is removed and areas resealed that need to be. 4) You examine, test, refill, the batteries and insure they are charged and hold the charge.

There is a lot more, but doing these things first will insure many trouble free miles.

As Kirk said, if you have questions, ask, someone will know enough to give you a decent answer.
