I'm new to GMC's and I'm very grateful for this list.
A short while back I read a posting about the 12V wire from the house battery up front to the charger/distribution center shorting to the frame in the wall and causing a fire.
So while replacing/rewiring my distribution center I paid close attention to that wire and found signs of excess heat on the coating. Decided to move up my remodeling/upgrading schedule and removed all the wall panels from the closet (mid coach) to the front dash and found the wire in real bad shape (see photos).

The wire should signs of melting on about half of the total length and bare wires were showing at 2 or 3 places. Needless to say I'm replacing it with a heavy duty 4 gauge cable.
