2013 Keystone RaptorElectrical system

I was in my rv at approximately 10am in the morning, at a campground. I noticed a smell of electrical burning in the living area of the rv. It was a cold morning, and had our electric fire place on at the time. We also had our heat strip in our roof top air conditioner on as well. The burning smell became stronger as the morning went on. I then began to investigate where the smell was coming from. It appeared to be coming from our fireplace, we then removed it placing it outside. I plugged the unit in outside to...

see if the smell was coming from the fireplace. There was no smell from the fireplace. I went back in to the camper, the smell was still present. I investigated further, and the smell appeared to be coming from the under belly compartment. After clearing out the under belly storage, the rv mechanic came over and smelled the electrical smell. He asked me to plug in everything that was on at the time, when I first smelled the burning smell. The fireplace was brought back into the rv, and plugged back in to the outlet. The rv mechanic went into the underbelly and was search for the source of the smell. Upon doing so, he had bumped the main power feed wire coming into the camper. This caused the lights on the fireplace to flicker off and on. I notified that what ever he had just done caused the lights to flicker. He did this again causing the light to do the same thing again. This appeared to be the problem the mechanic was convinced. He shut the power off, and pulled the plug out. Upon taking the plug out, he found that the side of the plug cover was starting to burn. The mechanic, went to loosen the screws four the four wires connecting the 220 volt 50amp service, and was able to pulled the wires out without having to unscrew all the screws. He stated that none of the hold screws for the connections were never tighten. Please look into this fire hazard thanks.

2013 Keystone RaptorWheels & tires

While pulling my 2013 5th wheel keystone raptor on i-95 in virginia, I had the right rear tire explode. The tire was a goodyear 235/80/16 marathon tire that was no more than a year and 4 months old. The speed was between 65-70mph, and without warning heard a load explosion. I looked into the right mirror, and saw the tire disintegrating the right side of my 5th wheel.

on, and continued to the goodyear service center in colonial heights va. The auto center initially stated that this was a road hazard, until the spare was taken off. The tire on the passenger side right front had a bulge on the inside tread that was not visible until the rear tire was taken. At this point I insisted that all the tires be checked by the goodyear service center. They took both left side tires off, put one tire on the spin balancer to check the tire. The service tech found tread separation in a portion of the tire. The second tire on the left front also showed obvious tread separation without the spin balancer check.The goodyear service center warranted all four tires for tread separation. Thank god I insisted that the remaining tires be checked. I believe that I would have experienced another blow out down the road. The government should look into a recall on these tires. The dot date code was 2014 on all these tires, and had maybe 3000 miles on them. The service center stated that they were all manufactured at the same location. Goodyear usa was contacted, and a claim number was assigned. Have to file a claim with my insurance company to have damages fixed. No one should have to go through this experience. I now am left in doubt about how safe are the new replacement tires.
