The wiring in my westy is no where near stock.  But as long as I have my own
drawings of where the wires are going and what fuse panel and which battery
bank, etc.  I don�t care if the next owner knows where anything goes.  With
me the next owner will be next of kin or the salvage yard.  Depending on
which dies first.  And yes I do have drawings of my work.  I have learned
that paper works far better than memory.
