Electrical complaints
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
