Contacted the dealer and they were no help. He said appointments are about 10 weeks out. He said I could drop it off and they might have a chance to look at it sometime.
So I went out there after work and pulled the coroplast down. That adhesive is a booger. If you try to pull the coroplast it just tears where it's attached with adhesive. I used a putty knife and a small saw to cut through the giant gobs and separate it from where it attached to the frame.
I pulled down the passenger side first and traced the wire and saw that it went over to the driver side just above all the sewer connections where there were some butt splices. So I had to pull it from that side but the sewer pipe was apparently installed through a hole they cut after putting up the coroplast so no way to really pull it down. I got it pulled down far enough to reach up in there and feel around in the blind and individually pull wires into view. I found the Orange-White wire. It was butt spliced 3 different times to form a second circuit heading back to the other side of the camper for the furnace <sigh>.
Anyway, I turned the vent fan above the stove on which was on the dead circuit and fiddled with all the butt splices until I found one that turned it back on. I re-crimped the connection and so far so good.
I reattached the coroplast with the 75 screws (just kidding, only 25)... reattached all the gas line fittings... and now I just have to purchase some of that adhesive and glue it back together.
It's been a fun first week with the camper, and I am more familiar with mess of wiring under there than I would like to be.
