Factory crimp connections can be so poorly done, the wires slip out of the connectors by just touching them (BTDT). And the crimp tool may have been used on the plastic cover and not the metal barrel inside on a compression connector/terminal (BTDT too). And splices using marrettes my have also been done poorly. So when you work with or near something 12 volts, you can cause wires to separate. I would say the culprit connection is in the vicinity of where you were working and something you touched.
I would agree with you if this was not a Winnebago. Not sure how they did it in '06, but Winnebago does not use crimps today. They actually solder all the joints and shrink wrap them. One of the best practices in the industry IMO.
