aandncaravan Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Earlier this week we replaced a Fuseboard on a Motorhome that we think had been overloaded by the addition of a second battery. The Fuseboard in the photo is not the one we replaced, that got binned by mistake, but the photo is of a Fuseboard in similar state. The Fuseboard is not designed to handle the passing of the extra Alternator current to a second battery, resulting in burnt connectors/boards. A new page has been created on the website to cover why upgrading a battery bank isn't always a good idea on all Motorhomes, see : http://www.aandncaravanservices.co.uk/add-a-second-battery.php Burnt connectors on these Fuseboards is not uncommon, but this is the third really bad one. Once again may we point out the importance of a good fire extinguisher, especially if any electrical changes have been made? The CO2 extinguisher used in this case prevented a lot of damage as the Fuseboard sits behind and below the Drivers seat which was badly scorched but nothing else.
