Forest River, Inc.
Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I smelled gases coming from the RV and after days of troubleshooting I found that one of the batteries was boiling and putting out hazardous gases that were leaking in to the living space. Further troubleshooting revealed a boiling battery and the battery disconnect was incorrectly wired and would not disconnect the battery but provided constant power to the battery, this also caused constant charging causing catastrophic failure of the battery. This event caused dangerous health conditions due to Sulfuric acid gases leaking in to the vehicle and put the occupants at risk.
