man this is depressing to see. We're about to order a 367 and we don't have the room to store it at the house, so i can't easily work on things like this. Hopefully we don't have any issues with our underbelly until i have a place i work on it.

In doing some wiring inside the basement was going to run some stranded wire from AC/DC panel to an ATS.
Wanted a flexible conduit, remember using some Hubbell ultra flexible liquid tight years ago.

UL listed so I can use at the house also if I need. Probably for some truck cables also.
It's much tougher than wire loom and more flexible than the liquid-tight at the stores.
Bought more than I need, but will have for projects.

Thank you for the find and all the good info in correcting this latest mess. This spring, I'll begin to tidy up the wiring.

I have a slightly different take on this topic. Like all you, when we took delivery of our 2019 fully decked out 310 (paint, generator, etc.), me and my OCD were perplexed, to say the least, at what we saw behind the basement wall (the plumbing and wiring EVERYWHERE ... like a giant plate of construction spaghetti). But, in reading these comments, and having done a little tinkering in the basement area (learning where things went, contemplating installation of hardwired EMS, etc.), I think this "mess" might not be such a bad thing, as it allows me to grab individual wires, pipes, etc., and follow where they go, tug on them, etc. Its a damn mess under there, no doubt about it and, sure, I could get in there and make it all neat (so that no one would ever see it or appreciate it). Not saying GD couldn't make it neater ... they could, and call me crazy, but it may be chaos with an ultimately not so bad purpose.

I've posted these pics before, but thought it was relevant to share them here also. The 7-way connector and +12V connections on my '17 Reflection 297 RSTS TT was wired just as poorly as what you see behind any of the panels. It would not take a manufacturer more than a few minutes to wire these areas in a more acceptable fashion.

Jack - The biggest concern with the "construction spaghetti" (I like your term for this ) is the opportunity for wear-through and chafing as the RV bounces down the road. While I can see your point about all loose wiring and hoses making tracing an individual line easier, where these lines are working away on sharp edges or dragging on moving slide mechanisms, etc, is a recipe for problems to come.
