Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 45 amp Magnetek Power converter? This is probably over kill for my Scotty, but it was given to me out of a working 80's model RV being parted out. Any help would be Great! 
And this as well........or is this necessary?

I am not the greatest with schematics..... I was hoping someone had a "dumbed down" version. I did find the schematics and will try to figure them out.
Thanks

As you face the converter, the 110 breaker box is on the left. It has nothing to do with the 12 volt side of life, other than to provide power to the converter. Power from the converter goes to the 12 volt fuse block on the right.
The large lug with the red wires is 12 volt hot; one goes to the battery, the other comes from the converter as a charge and supply wire.
Grounds on this one are green, on more modern units, they are almost always white. Each fuse operates a separate 12 volt circuit. You will probably only need 3 in a small vintage trailer.
Electrical is nothing to experiment with. I highly recommend experienced help before you tackle this. If you get solid advice, you should be able to put a lot of the pieces in place and then have it inspected before you power up.

Vikx, Thanks for the response. That all makes sense. I do have someone that is good with electrical. I am just being impatient and trying to get a jump start on stuff before he can come help. I have never messed with 12 volt(or a converter), so I am just a little unsure of myself (second guessing). Thanks again.
