DAMAGED WIRING BEHIND CEILING AND WALL PANEL IN THE TRAVEL TRAILER BEDROOM. A SCREW WAS RUN THROUGH THE 110V WIRING IN THE CEILING. A 110V WIRE WAS PINCHED BETWEEN TWO STUDS IN THE FRAME A 110V WIRE HAD DAMAGED INSULATION NEAR INTERSECTION OF THE CEILING AND WALL THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS REPRESENTED MAJOR DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WAS A FIRE HAZARD. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS ONLY A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND NO ACTUAL INCIDENT AROSE FROM THESE CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS. I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE OF THE SCREW THROUGH THE WIRE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY PROVIDED ME WITH THE TWO ATTACHED PHOTOS. I ALSO HAVE A VOICEMAIL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETAILING THE EXTENT AND RISK POTENTIAL OF THIS DEFECT, BUT IT IS OF A FILE TYPE THAT CANNOT BE UPLOADED. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT RECORDING AS WELL IF ANOTHER SUBMISSION METHOD IS AVAILABLE.
