    Put on my diagram of how some 7-pin junction boxes are wired.
    Copied & added some text to up your SmartDraw drawing. I was thinking the RED going to the 30A CB on right side may be paired with the RED-BLK wire at frame ground to unknown, maybe schwintek or solar port, or a jack?

    Splicing the shore power10/2 w ground to the wire/cord you run to the Multiplus could be a set screw splice or some type.

      Thanks! The red (8WG) is paired with a smaller red, both coming off the CB load side, but as for pairing somewhere with the red/black strip coming off the frame ground, I'm not sure. All three run to the power dist center.

      Re the shore plug, wont I need to extend the hot, neutral and ground all to the MultiPlus? Similar splices for each?

      In terms of what is on the diagram, do you see any places where wires will just come out? Or does the frame ground and CB stay where they are?

      Best regards

        On the smaller RD & RD-BK, from the photo looked like it might be a parallel bonded / zip cord type wire that GD uses throughout the RV on DC circuits and might run to a device.
        I'd pull the drawers and power center out enough to look behind it to start looking and tracing how all the wires are connect and find the one's coming from the frame.

        Shore Power - Yes the 3 wires (H,N,G) will each have to be spliced to the wire that runs to the Multiplus's AC Input.
        One of the splices can do the 3 wires at the same time. Or you can do it in a small junction box for each wire.

        The wires down on the frame probably won't change except the wires that go to existing battery.
        Mainly because you can't easily relocate the wires that are down there.
        The +DC from your new + DC Busbar,in the passthru will connect to the same place on the 30A CB so what's on the CB will still get DC power.
        The -DC from your new - DC Busbar will go to the frame where the BK 8 Awg currently connects.

          Thanks so much. Extremely helpful. Will pull the power center and do some more sleuthing.
