Thanks for your kudos
glad to help out.
Do be super careful in connectingthe new pigtails to the romex solid wire conductors wires inside the box. If they break off, you might consider pulling non-Romex stranded wires or cable, AWG-12 or better, all the way to the Air Conditioner area, although you'll need to at least remove the bag seals in order to do that. If the Romex is behind the framing, rather than cut into it, you'll need to in even further.

Got my new cable in the mail. Upon looking in the box it appears that the green wire does not connect to anything???

That's not right.
In both boxes (under the fridge and along the shell's rear corner) bare Romex is connected to the green wire in the cable. A segment of bare wire way also be clamped to the frame before the connection (to the flex cable) is made.
Please attach a photo.

Looks like the copper wire coming from the top of the camper was attached to this clip which was slid over the box side.

I haven't the slightest idea what that is. However, like Rickst29, I am very concerned with the idea that the green wire won't be connected to anything. The black and white wires handle the power flow, but if anything goes wrong - like the frayed white wire in your earlier post - the green wire will save your life. Ignore it at your peril.

I found the copper wire tucked back inside the camper. Must have been a cheap repair like Rick said. I will connect the green wire to it when I start the job today. Thanks again all.

I think this box has been modified to fit flush against the camper as I can't find one. Am I correct?

That is a "pull elbow". There are a variety of them, depending on how the entry, exit, and cover are configured. They are standard items, widely available in hardware stores or Home Depot/Lowes, etc. I don't think yours is modified in any way.

Sorry Bill but you were wrong. Mine is a Killark olb-1. Took it to Lowes and it turns out the top 90 degree elbow has been off with a bandsaw so that it fits flush with the camper. I had to post back incase anyone else has this problem but thanks for the reply.
