What owners report
2008 JAYCO SENECA ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. RV PARKED IN RV PARK WITH SURGE PROTECTOR. THE RV LOST ALL POWER TO ALL OUTLETS BUT ONE. AFTER MULTIPLE CHECKS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE IOTA-50RG TRANSFER SWITCH BURNED OUT. THERE WERE NO UNUSUAL LOADS OR MOVEMENT. THE HOUSING OF THE UNIT BURNED AND BURNED THE POWER SIDE RED CABLE IN HALF. I CALLED JAYCO AS WELL AS WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS MOCKED. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD KNOW BETTER TO BELIEVE A ALLEDGED DEFECT SHOWN ON THE INTERNET IS REAL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT JAYCO IS MOCKING
I HAVE A 2008 JAYCO 36M MOTORHOME. I HAVE FOUND A FLAW IN THE WAY THIS MOTORHOME WAS BUILT. THE 80 LB PROPANE TANK IS WITHIN 6 IN OF THE REAR TIRE WITH NO PROTECTION BETWEEN. WHEN YOU GET A BLOW OUT WHICH I HAVE THE TIRE WRAPS AROUND THE TANK AND CAN AND IN FACT DID RIP OFF THE MAIN LINE BY SNAPPING IT OFF. IT EVEN BENT THE TANK, TORE OFF THE PLASTIC COVER AND ALMOST BLEW UP. IT'S A MIRACLE THAT IT DID NOT KILL ALL OF US AND WIPE OUT THE RV. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CAGE AROUND THE TANK OR MOVE IT TO A SAFER PLACE. THIS IS SHARE STUPIDITY AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE CARES!
