Hi All
My name is Roy and I'm new to the Group, I own a 2012 745 Approach. Because of circumstance, I haven't been able to use my Bailey as much as I would have liked this year and once a week I run it for about 30 minutes. Last week I started her up and after about 5 mins I could smell what I thought was an electrical fire, I immediately turned the engine off and found a small fire had started in the Leisure Battery compartment, by where the mains socket and the TV Ariel are. The back of this and the lead to the Leisure battery was all bent and melted. I consider myself lucky, because I normally walk away and leave it running? I have been told it could be the Leisure Battery being at fault? But I don't know? Has anyone ever had this happen and did they find the cause? I have replaced the box and all the leads, but haven't reconnected the Leisure Battery until I know what went wrong, Thanks in anticipation Roy.
