Hi all.


sigh....


found out why water/batt light on fridge/stove/sink
unit was flickering on last trip..... connection on
red wire (by PO) under driver seat corroded/burned
out. (don't know why, but he/she installed a 20 Amp
fuse inline. They made poor connections) The bad is
that the bad connection was up against NEW Aux. batt.
It heated up and melted a small divot in side of batt.
during burn out process. I hadn't even hooked it
up/tried it out. Ack!


The aux batt isn't leaking. I'm certain I can't get
warranty on in. Is there a fix to keep divot from
becoming a hole? i.e. can I repair w/epoxy or
silicone? Yes I know. An unusual problem.


Wanted to camp tonight, but am leary before repair
done. Any quick answers much appreciated!


TIA,


Neil.
