Just taking a quic sec while putting my interior together to give a heads up to any/all of you out there who are working in wiring inside the coach living area. The stranded 12 volt wires run all over the inside of the coach need to be inspected where they have been sprayed with the oem insulation. The insulation attacked the wire casing making it very brittle. It only appears to be an issue when the wire is bent such as when re routing for remodel. If you are relocating any of the 12 volt stuff and re routing the wires which have been sprayed be alert to the casing snapping. It makes a very distinct sound when it happens. I noticed this earlier but forgot to post till just now when I ran into it again. The safest plan would be to replace the whole run of wire inside the panel to an exposed junction point like the roof rails.
