    That is what I want to talk to the service guy about here. This is the second time it has burned the fuses. And I am deadly afraid of electrical fires. Thanks

    The refer on the coach which caused our fire, as I understand it, was just outside the recall range. I guess someone forgot to tell that refer that it wasn't supposed to burn!

    Personally, I would consider replacing the whole unit. But, that's just me.

    I gotta agree with Ray. I would replace the entire unit, as this appears to be a recurring problem with the potential to get real serious, real fast.

    What ever you do, just make sure that you are real comfortable with the end result. Not a place to take risks.....

    Good luck with with your repairs.

    My bus didn't have any issues, it was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    The coach which caught fire had a Norcold refer. They too have had similar recalls, and many fires.

    Most of our Prevosts seem to have regular kitchen-type of refers, which don't (to the best of my knowledge) have the same potential for fire. OK, I guess there is always a potential, but let's say they don't have the same history of fires.
