The hazard

On certain motorhomes, the fuse that isolates the batteries in the event of a short was not installed in the correct location. The current location places the fuse next to the inverter, which leaves the cable unprotected between the fuse and batteries. Correction: Dealers will relocate the currently affixed 300 amp fuse to within 18 inches of the batteries.
