Signs you may be about to have a fire in your RV.

I did a job today that got me thinking about something Ive seen in the past. From time to time I will have a job that has the signs of an electrical fire. The customer will complaint will be no power or a burnt smell in the coach. Do not take this lightly. What I have found is when manufacturers use the very stiff romex style wiring is that the vibration of normal travel is causing the screw clamp in transfer switches to loosen. This causes arcing and sparks. This is a big fire hazard, so if you have funny electrical happenings or you smell burnt electrical smoke. Call a service center as soon as possible. A fire can consume an RV very fast. I want you all safe and sound.
