meltdown
2019 artic wolf 315tbh8 wire from battery switch up through camper to junction box under pin box and power cord to truck. wire rubbed on a bolt head in front storage area and melted from battery switch to plug for truck. anyone else have this problem? check your wires under there because there is no protection on them.

looks like the wire. it burned in half right where the bolt is and the bolt has what looks like arc welding splatter.
