Hi all,

        I have my answer.  The wire was for a leveling system put in by the first owner and removed by the second.  So, likely it is a hot wire and the other connector was for a ground.  I now know what I need to to use or remove the wire. 

I’m so lucky that the last caretakers have so much knowledge about the van and willing to share.  

        They are quiet list participants and I’m so lucky they sent in the needed info.
