this is a follow up to the 12v short in the passenger side reading light circuit. After extensive trouble shooting the elusive dead short was not found. I suspect a lamp cord style conductor in the roof/penthouse, between the ceiling panel and the fiberglass top. since there was no apparent visible wire problem it was decided to abandon the circuit and run a new conductor (wire) from the fuse box . this was done by running a #10ga wire from the fuse box, to the rear on the floor surface, below the bed to a new house style junction box, mounted near the furnace, then up the corner of the van to the soffit area then forward to the passenger seat reading light. all the lights and a power port were connected in line and fuse placed in the junction box. A new wire was placed near the canvas top clear of the moving parts, and to the rear penthouse top reading light. The original 30 amp fuse was reinstalled in the # 2 spot in the fuse panel .
