Mobile Home Electrical Wiring and Pigtail Wiring Electrical Connections
Always turn off mobile home electrical power before working on any mobile home electrical wiring receptacle or switch and then confirm that it is off!
If you have more electrical wires or several electrical cables in an electrical outlet or switch box than you have connection screw down terminals for this could be a problem, so you will need to make a electrical pigtail. By twisting all the wires and adding the pigtail wire you can overcome this problem. The pictures below show how to do this. I did not show these in a electrical outlet box as they should be so that you can see them better. Say you have a mobile home electrical wire that comes from the circuit breaker and two or more electrical wires that go to other electrical outlet receptacle this will solve the problem of not having enough electrical connections on an electrical receptacle outlet. The same idea can be used for a electric light switch.
