Smoke alarm goes off at 1:15 am Sunday morning. I have a 2008 35 RLSA Designer. If you have a kitchen in a slide out please check your flex line that drains your sink into it's gray tank. Ours did not move correctly and looks to have been colasping since new before it finally cracked. Jayco installed a mounting bracket to hold the flex pipe and our problem was right at the end of this bracket. The water that came out ran on to the floor inches from two junction boxes and a receptical for our central vac. It was the central vac outlet that caught on fire, thankfully the same water kept the fire from getting out of control. None of these wires are protected by a GFI circuit and the flex pipe Jayco used is not very flexible. I don't have a fix yet, and I don't have a picture to post. If you open the door to your central vac remove the two screws holding the plywood in place and behind it you can see everything. I will be moving my outlet and junction boxes off the floor incase we have another leak. If anyone is talking to Jayco tell them about this post.
