Question:
Hello. Looking to replace my cargo heat 3000. It has a red, black and white wire coming out of the back of it. Do you know what I would do with existing white wire? this replacement heater only has a red and black it looks like. Thank you.

Hey Scott, I looked up your Cargo Heat 3000RV and the company is out of business so there aren't any resources available I can find to determine the wiring color functions of your heater. The heater part # RA3501 does only use two wires (a power and a ground) so is there any way you can trace the wires of the heater you have now and see where they run to determine the functions of everything? Most likely there's a ground and two power sources. Like one that runs from the panel and the other from the battery?
