I am wiring my expansible van to be powered by external 115VAC household current via extension cords. According to the electrical schematic on the door, the 8 ceiling lights are each wired with 3 wires. They appear to be labeled on the schematic as 650, GRD-N and GRN-C. I am not an electrician. Can you tell me which wires from the 115VAC supply I connect to the 3 light wires mentioned and if those are correct? Thank you very much!

On mine, at the main panel, I connected phase A, B, and C together and tied to my 110 volt hot. I tied the 110 volt neutral to the panel neutral buss. All the lights and plugs function. With all the lights on, it's quite a load.

There are nice led light bulbs available now. Fluorescent style ones that do not need any ballast and run on 120vac single phase. You can use a toner to identify wires from the panel to the light and just reuse what you need to. Always ground everything though very important so use all 3 wires. I am going to redo mine one day. Too much to do not enough time.
