Pentax 6x7, Kodak Portra 400NC, 100mm f/4 macro @ f/4, 1/500s. I was looking over this picture, wondering if I should trash it because of the unintentional vignetting; I shot through a chain-link fence and I guess I caught a piece of it in the shot. Plus, there was a little discoloration from developing. While I was ultra-zoomed in, I discovered that this RV is a Leprechaun! Weird.

DEFECT #1 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY:CABLES


Posted on: 2000-10-06
Description
Vehicle description: mini-motor homes, model number 305.  The battery cable that provides power from the coach battery to the generator was routed so it crosses over the top of the catalytic converter heat shield.

Consequence
Under extreme temperature conditions, this could cause the cable's insulation to melt resulting in a high resistance short that could potentially lead to a fire.

Corrective Action
Coachmen will inspect to determine if the wires are properly routed.  If necessary, the wires will be re-routed.

Notes
Owner notification began october 16, 2000.owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.  Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Posted on: 2003-10-20
Description
On certain motor homes, travel trailers, and fifth wheel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units were produced with a defective panel.  An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a jumper or jump wire.  This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.  

Consequence

Corrective Action
