Electrical System · at 30,358 miles · reported Apr 26, 2014

Returned from a 3 day camping trip and parked motorhome at my house. When I hooked up to shore power I immediately smelled smoke. According to repair guy the plug in for the slide (110) must have had bad connection and shorted. It melted everything in the surrounding area under the vanity in bathroom. I had been staying in the coach for three days with no indication of any problem.
