Wiring has been a gremlin that showed up some time ago in my experiance with DT. There was also a problem with switches that had too much amperage going through them as well as poor crimps / connectors.

Just as a note here. I attended a fire safety seminar when I visited a Teton rally over 2 years ago. The presenter stated that because of code regulations on 120 volt items and wiring in an RV there are few fires attributed to those. It's typically the 12 volt wiring and items that have the main fire starting problems. It's things like poor crimp connections, binding and chafing wires and cheap 12 volt accessories that are the problem as they are not under the same wiring safety code. In looking at some of the wiring in my rig I can see where that can be the case.
