Re: [A/S] Yikes! Wiring, rewiring, grounding...Please advise



Thank you Jim and Walrus?

Buddy said he knew aluminum wiring was not used in '59.  Pulled out a 
couple of outlets and the existing wire looks good, if that matters.  
I guess, my question is.....when you mentioned adding a couple of 
grounded outlets, do the interior panels or skins have to be 
removed?  Seems like an awful lot of work if that is how one goes 
about it. I remembering reading in the manual for our '76 (I think), 
that the wiring is dropped in from the top? Can wire be pulled 
through, like in the walls of a house? Or are they full of insulation?
I have spent hours searching and searching for the answer.  I have 
seen phoot's of several trailers that have been completely gutted.  
That is not "our" intention, I hope. 

Truly appreciate you time and input.
