Rv was parked in a site at an rv resort. Electrical service provided via a shoreline cable to resort power. Electrical service suddenly stopped. Repair shop found that the iota engineering its - 30RL automatic transfer switch was melted and burned. A recall was found online # 12v451000, that stated in the text that some 2008 models were effected. Jayco refuse to reimburse us for the replacement saying our rv IS not part of recall.

It seems to us to be the same safety issue as the recall describes *dt *tr
