Hi, recently we moved from CA to FL. East of Texas I smelled a foul smell then notice my radio went off and associated lights on that part of the dash as well as the jack alarm was sounding off. We are located now in Panama City, FL. None of the RV service centers or trucking companies want to touch it. Im assuming I have some bad or corroded wiring somewhere. Any suggestions on which direction to go for help? Thc

I'm with Grit Dog you likely have melted wires and need serious re-work. This is not something I'd wish to tackle on my own and I am trained to do it.

Pull the radio or whatever to gain access. I’m assuming the smell you smelled was an electrical smell or melting wire insulation?
There will be a residual smell and an obvious short/ melted wire or wires.
It’s strange that seemingly unrelated systems are affected.
Have you looked around the engine bay?
