If you are restoring a museum piece, then you want the wiring exactly like the original down to the lack of safety. If you want a vintage trailer to use, you should bring the wiring up to modern standards. That means, no aluminum wire, GFCI, three wire romex, grounded outlets, accessible main panel, battery charger that doesn't abuse the battery like the original Univolt, proper circuit fuse and circuit breaker protection. The RV section of the 1999 NEC only runs a few pages adding requirements for bonding all metal parts and appliances to ground for user safety. I don't see anything in it except for GFCI and the requirement for lots of receptacles that shouldn't have been standard practice 40 years ago. Gerald J.
