Not really. When Thor MC began using the legless CofC patio awning (Latitude), it comes with a double switch (in/out and off/on) so Thor MC wired it as required. After about 100 complaints because the auto retract function did not work with the on/off switch in the off position, Thor MC simply deleted that switch. When Thor MC started with the LCI Rapid Camp system that was wired into the CofC system such that when the awning was retracted the lights in the roller would automatically turn off. There were not enough wires in the CofC harness to allow manual operation and automatic systems Rapid Camp system, so compromises were made rather than redesign the 48 different wiring harness used by plant 750 and countless other wiring harnesses for the other plants. CofC and Schwintek wring cables are not included with the coach harness but installed independently. Each 12 volt wiring board cost about $15,000 with the checkout light and relays. Remember Thor MC plant 750 produces 14 to 20 coaches a day, so there are no small wiring changes.
