Hi Steve and Dave, how was your Sunday?
Yeah, could have been a real mess. Those wires were touching the inside of the paneling and very near the structural supports(2x2 pine) in the wall. Not sure what made me tap on that light housing, sure glad I did though.
I also got the baggage door catches installed today, now the storage doors stay open so you don't have to fight with the doors while putting stuff in there.
LOL, my 3 year old is playing "drums"(a bunch of plastic bins/pails) upstairs, making all kinds of racket and when my wife tells him to be quiet, he says "I'm concentrating, leave me alone" LOL

Evening all.
I have had almost the same thing happen before on an older camper, not a screw, but the wire had rubbed through. The way I found that was it go so warm that it discolored the siding but did not blow the fuse.
Bought a mower deck for the Allis C at the auction, but it is missing some brackets I guess, so it is fabricate some new ones and hope it works. Should be worth descent money with a deck under it.

Good evening gents!
Nice find on the mower deck Lee!
Glad to see you caught that Mike! That could have gotten bad in a hurry especially considering the fuse didn't blow! Say we were out to the campground today just checking it out and there was spot out there where we are thinking we should camp and it had trees pretty close to where the camper would be and I told Beth that Mike could park there as he doesn't have an awning to put out! LOL Sorry Mike but we both got a little laugh out of that.
