Life isn't a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safe in a pretty well preserved body, but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up totally worn out, loudly proclaiming WOW WHAT A RIDE

I'll add to this information when we get it worked over by the mechanics. Then maybe we'll have a better idea of the cause. Keep checking back.

My biggest concerned, after the smokin', was, "when can we get on the road?"

So Glad your ok Penny !!! & the Pod survived as well. Good for you for being observant, and reacting correctly.
 
Ive seen your "topic" has almost 100 views as I write this, so you posting this has heightened our awareness to always be alert, and now we can put "give a look underneath" on our "check" list.
Thanks for the wake up call Penny !!! And we all are "so" glad you are ok, and managed to fit in some camping too !!

"transition box?"  I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand.  Do you mean the junction box under the trailer itself?


Well I think it was the junction box. I got that wrong. No damage to the camper itself. But the wire was fried.

Penny-podding---I am so glad that everything is ok.  Thank you for the heads up.  I immediately showed my husband your post and will make sure ours is checked out tomorrow for wear.  I hope your trip will be uneventful (at least for the scarey events).

Craig was wondering the same thing about the junction box.

Wow! Glad you and pod are ok! Have not had my 171 on the road yet, but will surely be watchful for any battery wire rubbing. Thanks so much for the warning. Love the way podders look out for each other.
