I found the one for my diesel genset on Onan's website.

thanks, I guess I need the Dutchmen schematic , Gen has a plug in but not the same colors as what is in the trailer

Use the Onan service manual to identify wires from plug (I assuming your looking at remote start / hour meter). Onan sells a plug pigtail for manufacturers. Trace from plug down to pigtails to cross reference wire color for inside trailer. Dutchmen does not provide any wiring plumbing schematics. Nor will they release them.

That's because they probably don't have any !!! Judging by the amount of folks on here that have issues with them, they probably don't know how to wire or plumb either.

See attached photo. Not even for my unit, it did give me enough info to figure out what I needed. Only 1 I have ever found though.

For the OP, is this new install? What unit ? If so its not really a Dutchmen thing anyway. ONAN has install manuals as well. The service manual won't do a whole lot for you. I did an new install on an older KZ. If new install you have like 4 major tasks. 1) Electrical power to the transfer switch (do run a dedicated ground from unit to frame) 2) Electrical controls (prime, run, stop, hour meter, etc) 3) Fuel supply to he set 4) physical install (which would include running exhaust)

Most RV's that are "GEN READY" will have a junction box near compartment for power. Any penetrations should be done with seal tight and high quality foam / sealer around it. May or may not have controls.

For the transfer switch, find box then google the diagram for it. Note: you can wire control relays up in two fashions. 1) Having the GEN power the coil of transfer switch or 2) Shore power to coil of transfer switch. The basic difference here is what is your "primary" source. Personal preference thing.

It's installed and wired correctly I think, problem now is I get E1 code on Zone 2 when running both ACs, works fine on shore power

I reversed the load wires from gen into the box and it seems to be fine now, ran a good hour with no codes
