Electrical system › Wiring › Fuses and circuit breakers

Summary: The electric wire used to power the expandable room hydraulic pump motor was not equipped with a circuit breaker. Overheating of the wire can occur with incorrect expandable room operation.
Consequence: This condition can cause the wire insulation to melt, causing smoke and possible fire.
Remedy: Dealers will install a circuit breaker to the expandable room system pump motor wire. Fleetwood will also provide a vehicle label to identify the location of the circuit breaker, and will provide owner's manual literature to identify the circuit breaker location.
