location of fuse box in winnebago era

BrianK · 09-10-2022, 04:12 AM

Hi everyone,

On my 2012 Winnebago ERA 70x, the fan on the ceiling and the one in the toilet stopped working all of a sudden. I think the fuse was blown out. However, I cannot find the fuse box. Does anyone know where it is? Any help will be appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, you can see it in this video around the 6 minutes mark:

It's a small brown access panel in the driver side ottoman near the floor. It may not be in that exact location but it should look similar. Behind the door you'll find the 12V fuses and 120V circuit breakers for the house wiring.

From your manual:

"The power converter is generally located in a
lower cabinet face in the galley or living area,
depending on the floorplan of your model.
The converter power panel contains the house
electrical system 120-volt circuit breakers and
12-volt fuses "

Thank you for the replies.

There is a fuse box on the side of the driver's seat. I thought it was for the chassis as the car engine did not start when I mistakenly moved one fuse to the wrong slot. Probably that is the right one as there is a 10amp fuse that is out. I will replace it and see what happens.

I found all the fuses there are good. That means it can not be the fuse box for fans. Since both the ceiling fan and toilet fan are out, it cannot be the broken fan. By the way, the fuse in the ceiling fan is good.

Now there are two possibilities left. First one, maybe the installer put the fuse box somewhere I can see only if I break the wall on the exact location. The second, it does not have a fuse at all. But both do not make sense at all.

Just for fun I took a look at the wiring diagrams for the 2013 Eras and in the 170A model it's in a different location. It's on the passenger side of the van below the wardrobe. You can catch a brief glimpse of it in this video at around the 4:35 mark when he's closing the drawers:

Thank you, Gryphon.

That makes sense and I agree. However, I see only a bunch of wires there. It is weird. I will check again, though.

I edited my post, possibly after you initially read it. A bunch of wires sounds like what you would see on the driver's side in that spot on a 70A.

Thank you all. I found it by sending an email to winnebago. Actually it was in this diagram, https://www.winnebago.com/Files/File...ire_178822.pdf as "load center". Somehow I missed that area.

BTW, fans are not connected to the fuse there. Probably it because they have the fuse themselves.
