What a wonderful site!!!
Ok I just inherited a beautiful 1984 Wonderlodge...YEAAAA!!! This forum has given me a lot of info but I haven't been able to find the answer I'm looking for. While driving my NEW coach home something broke and made a lot of noise, I didn't want to stop because I was only a mile from home (I kept my eyes on the guages and everything was cool..Literally). After an inspection I saw that a belt had broken and had all the other belts twisted, so I fiqured I might as well go in and replace all the belts. I went ahead and took off the fan so that I would have access to all of the pully's, that's when I discovered that the belt had also ripped the wires loose from the Fan Clutch..It looked like there was a bracket thet held into place also. So my Question is where do the wires go to I can't find the other end??? I know that they go to a sending unit (Thermostat??) but I can't find it? It also broke the bracket that holds it into place..I can just make another one and weld it to it and mount it somewhere right? Sorry so long winded I'm just excited to get her running. Here are some pic's of what I'm talking about. |

Hey Welcome Chuck. Inherited a Bird. Good stuff. Can't help with your question, but there are certainly those on here that can, and will. Come to RATS!

Chuck, RATS (Rally Across The Street) is a large group of Wanderlodges and there keepers getting together at Pine Mountain Georgia. Last year there were over 100 coaches and around 200 people. Beautiful RV Park where WOG Members share tales, Tech Sessions, Pot Luck meals and lots of just plain fun. You will not regret attending.

I just viewed the pic's from previous years RATS and it looks awesome!!! Count me in, provided that I can get my coach to travel 20 miles that's literally how far Callaway Gardens is from my home.
I hope that some one can tell me where to re hook these wires so that I can start putting the front of the coach back together. |

Chuck, One of those wires will be + and the other -. You will need to look closely at the front of your engine to find where they came off or tore off whatever the case may be. You might be looking at spade connectors or butt connectors that have nothing attached. If you would like to take a few pictures of the front of your engine and post perhaps someone will spot the wires connection point. Good Luck
You should call Pine Mountain and make your reservations for RATS. Be sure to mention you are attending RATS to get the Rally rate.

Thanks I've crawled all over that motor thinking that I would find two wires hanging of a sending unit but I haven't found it yet. Thank for the help here's one picture that I had I'll take some more close ups tonight. |

look on top of the front accessory assembly panel between the rear alternator and compressor. should be a sensor about 3/4" plug two wires.
both 12 volts when closed, probably a ground wire stud someplace.
