I was kinda leaning that way....Im going to have him unplug the trailer to see if the battery in the trailer went bad and is pulling it down....I made the mistake of putting a 50 amp fuse instead of a 30 in the dist. block before he left.

The trailer battery is for the 4000lb Superwinch and Hydraulic landing gear.....he just called....wiring loom is melted from the trailer plug forward...GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!.......I've never had any bad luck with vehicles...and in 2 weeks he's blown the tranny in his motorhome...broke the rear end in his race car....broke it again this weekend and has now melted my wiring harness...time for him to find his own stuff to mess up !
