Fire hazard (cruise air basement units 85PT40)

[George Lowry]

Hi Lee,

FWIW, While at the Western Area FMCA rally, I had Dometic check out
one of my A/C that had suddenly quit working. He went right to the
junction box under the cover and found the wire burned in two. He
said it was a very common problem and caused by low voltage.
Something to watch for.
