Hello all... New to the site,  i just recently bought an 83 Winnebago Warrior or at least i think it is per Winnebago. I cant seem to find much info about it or even find any pictures of them that look at all like ours but anyway. I bought it pretty much gutted and all the wires clipped so i have no clue how to begin doing the electric wireing Anyone have advice or can help so i can figure out how to get the lights on. Ha

Also any other info we might find helpful

Hi Jeff, Winnebago Industries has info on your rig as well.Just go to their web site.And welcome to another Winne owner.

Thank you pat for that...I'm new to this although I have wanted a project like this for a long time! I got the Wnnie free on Craigslist so I lucked out even though it doesn't run and nothing works inside so I can use all the help that I can get!
Also a thank you to Jimco I know it's gonna be a tough one but to be a lot of fun doing it!

Wow, Nice project. Good luck with it.

You have a sink!!! How do you eat the elephant!?!? A bite at a time.
Haha yes one of the few things I was left with was the sink, the hot water heater and the fridge but that's it. No stove, no generator, no batteries, no seats...lol

Hey Jeff, just wait and you will find all the parts you need.They made a lot of these and many other motor homes from the 80's have the same components.

Hot water heaters are expensive, not to hard to fix. Seats are out of plywood. Stove you can find used. I am running solar lights, USB charger in mine. Kit on amazon $144 battery wires and 2 lights. Not fancy. You can make solar power in shopping basket too. I did. Yard sales everywhere. Start with roof, caulk seal windows. You will have it pretty in no time. I have some white paint.
I am new to the side but I have a 1982 warrior and the factory sent me the complete wiring diagrams which will help. Let me know if you still need them in PDF format

Hi Mark, Look at it this way, you can create what ever you want with your Warrior. You have the resource of the Winny guru of GORV's in Jimco and you can find inspiration from the many pages of rehabbed to full on restorations found here. And like Jimco mentioned most brands of RV's source components from the same manufactures like suburban, Dometec and others. Also there  are a lot of salvage co. out on the old web that you can possibly get a complete appliance package from a single salvaged coach ( every thing matching).The most important thing is to have fun with it. If it gets overwhelming step back for a bit and come here. get inspired or questions answered or just chat. Good luck with your project.

From mark, I hope this helps you out.
