Major blowout on 2007 Minnie Winnie Outlook

[timhale23]

Is there a place I can download wiring schematic for a 2007 Minnie Winnie Outlook Class C?
Tire blew out and grabbed a wiring harness and damage several wires in the harness.

You may be able to find that on the Winnebago site, but you’ll need your year, model, and serial number.

Uncertain what you mean by "c class"! Do you mean a class c motorhome, in which case the wiring is here:

But since it is a tire blowing out to damage wiring, I suspect it is a trailer.
If it is a type of trailer, be aware that trailers are not as well supported and no online wiring I am aware of to use.

Year, make, model and sometimes even down to serial number to sort out different builds done in the same year are important to sorting down to the correct RV.

Depending on the location and damage, you might have to check your chassis manufacturer for wiring plans if it's part of their build.

Please, more info...

Thanks for the replies
It’s a 2007 class C, on a Ford Chassis E450

The bow out damaged the back mud flap panel, the panel forward the dual tires on passenger side.
The gas line to the fridge is smashed and bent around the tubular steel
There is a set of wires in 2 inch split loom that was yanked out a bit. The wires were not cut but insulation stopped of and exposed the copy.

Winnebago wiring diagrams for your MH are here:

If the damaged wiring is Winnebago's as opposed to Ford's, this wiring guide should identify the wiring based on the codes printed on the wires:

If the copper wires aren't damaged you can use electrical tape to restore the insulation. This assumes whatever they control still works (something could have pulled loose).

Most everything appears to be working except for microwave and rooftop AC.

I’ll get everything respliced today but will solder and heat shrink.

I will reply with results.

Also ... any idea why you had the blowout?

i.e.:

- What size was your Class C?
- What tire pressures were you using?
- Were you carrying something heavy off the rear (motorcycle, etc.)?
- What brand were the tires?
- How old were the tires?
- What size were the tires?
- Were the sidewalls of the rear dual set maybe contacting each other when traveling?
- Did you hit something sharp on the road surface?

Thanks in advance ... I'm just curious.

Hi Phil

The only thing I can think of is we must of hit something..
We weren’t towing
The class is a 29’ outlook
Running Michelin LT 225 75R/16 @80 PSI
TIRES ARE AT 4 years old

Tires were not in contact

[Phil G.]

Thanks much for the details! Hitting something can happen to any of us.

Your situation is similar to mine, except I probaby have less weight on my rear duals when fully loaded. Our rig is a 2005 Itasca 24V on an E450 chassis, with LT215 85R/16 Michelin tires about 4-5 years old.

FWIW, I switced to LT215 size Michelins in order to gain more ground clearance (larger diameter tire), a "higher" overdrive gear due to less revolutions per mile, more room between the sidewals for less chance of rubbing, and more room between the sidewalls for better airflow cooling.

A Tire Pressure Monitoring System or TPMS is recommended if you don't already have one.

I too had a blow out that did a lot of damage. The locker on the passenger side behind the rear tire was ripped wide open. I turned it in to my insurance and took it to the factory to be repaired. They found damage that was not previously noted. Also, since the tires were older, I put new tires on and got a TPMS. The unit is a 2007 Itasca Cambria.

My brother had the left rear inner on his 2001 Adventurer blow out on 95 in Georgia two years ago and iy not only ripped out a whole bunch of wires as well as the fuel filler pipe.......3yo Goodyear G670.
