Breakdown description: Pulling into a rest stop, shut engine off. About 40 minutes later, while pulling out of rest stop, pouring the coals to the MH to get out into traffice,lost all power, big back fire. Check engine light came on and a couple more lights came on for an instant. Then power came back, but it was scary out there. If I take off slow, it's okay, but dangerous.
Outcome: Primary fuel filter fuel line that goes to engine has very soft rubber - it goes over the engine computer on its way to the engine. Power cables coming from battery compartment go over the fuel line and smashes it almost flat. Solution: Rerouted fuel line - so far, so good.

So where was the back fire noise coming from ? Dave P
