1986 Fleetwood Southwind
454 Big Block V8
65,000 miles
Rookie owner on first vacation trip. RV running fine, made trip from FL to KY with no problems. Stopped at Rest Area in WV. When we tried to start, got nothing. Checked all fuses and tried to jump battery, no help. Called Good Sam road service. Two hours later wrecker showed up. Driver knew where to look, wiring touching the manifold had burned through. Had some wire and replaced burnt section, RV started up.
Followed to Chevy dealer for the night. Replaced wiring harness and starter which was also heat damaged. Recommended that we put back heat shield that was missing.
Actually, pretty lucky this happened at a rest stop. Other than loosing one day and $400, no other issues. Good Sam driver was VERY helpful!!!
