Hello all,
I have a 1999 thirty-one foot Winnebago Minnie (WF 331c).
May I please ask… where the “Power Center” is located?
That’s the 110 volt A/C circuit breakers (left half) and 12 volt fuse box (right half) that is supposed to be below the refrigerator in the rear living area.
I have searched all over, read large portions of the “operator manual” and of course searched on the web…. But I must be missing something (my brain probably) LOL?
This is my first motorhome so it is all new to me.
Anyway, I would be happy to buy someone lunch for assistance with this and thanks in advance (smile).

Run the battery low, then plug in and listen for the converter/charger's fan sound.

Look under the refrigerator for a brown or black plastic cover. It should open up and show all the circuit breakers and fuses. Also check out the Winnebago website for your RV. Winnebago Recourses

One tool I have found useful and not just in the RV is the Cable Tracker from harbor Freight (About 25 dollars give or take a bit) This is a two part device one part is a Transmitter.. You put fresh batteries in it and hook it to a wire (NOT UNDER POWER) and you are supposed to ground the other clip but I never have.. Then you take the receiver/sniffer also with a fresh battery and bleedle bleedle your way along the wire hidden inside windows and such Eventually you get to the end of the wire.. IF you start at say a lamp. or an outlet. the two ends .. Well one will be a "Device" (lamp, outlet, fan, pump, box of electronics) but the other end will be... The power distribution center
For example I needed to find a slide out controller.... Looked and looked even professionals looked. No joy.. First try with the bleedle master (Cable Tracker) found it straight off.. in of course one of the most illogical locations I could imagine (But there it was)
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

If the power cord is on the driver's side, the fuse / breakers may be under the couch. They are close to the generator.

Hello all,
Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to answer and help me locate the circuit breaker and fuse box location.
I will travel to where I have My Minnie Winnie stored as soon as possible (hopefully tomorrow) and using the information you guys provided finally find the “power center”. (Smile)

Hey everyone,
Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to help me locate the circuit breaker/fuse box for the house part of my Winnebago Minnie.
It WAS exactly where the manual and “1995Brave” said it would be. Under the refrigerator down by the floor.
I have never seen a cover for the circuit breakers and or fuses with vent fins on it…. I kept thinking that cover had something to do with the water heater or furnace; I should have opened it up and taken a look inside.
Anyway, I was able to replace the one blown 15 amp fuse that kept all the 12 volt lights from working inside at the very rear (where the bed is); fortunately it was just a fuse.

You are welcome and keep the Winnebago website handy because it will come in handy later. When I had my 95 Brave I printed everything out and put it in a book that I kept in the RV. It had a lot of notes and changes I made to the RV for the new owners.
