Probably mine for forgetting over the winter how I disconnected the wires, but Thor's for mis-labeling the cable.Live and learn, I guess. It did cost me an 1800 watt inverter, though, which got fried in the process.

Yep. Had the same thing on my 2014 Vegas. A Thor installer took a black battery cable and put a piece of red tape at the end, which was supposed to make it a red positive wire. I don’t trust any colored wired in my Axis. I recently had a tech come look at my AC which was acting up and he pulled the thermostat noted the color of the wires and then pulled the AC electrical box. I said to him “don’t trust that the same color wire runs all the way from the thermostat to the box”. He said “it’s one bundle and it’s run all the way”. When he checked, all the wires were different. I was not surprised.
