The issue
On certain motorhomes, the fuse that isolates the batteries in the event of a short was not installed in the correct location. The current location places the fuse next to the inverter, which leaves the cable unprotected between the fuse and batteries. Correction: Dealers will relocate the currently affixed 300 amp fuse to within 18 inches of the batteries.
Description (français)
Sur certaines autocaravanes, le fusible qui isole les batteries en cas de court circuit n'a pas été posé au bon endroit. Il est situé à côté du convertisseur, ce qui laisse le câble sans protection entre le fusible et les batteries. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront déplacer le fusible de 300 A à un endroit situé à moins de 18 po des batteries.
