We recently purchased the Palomino from State 48 RV dealer in Mesa Az. We travel for the summer. On our 4th campground, our watchdog surge power unit showed an improper wiring at the pedestal. Campground electrician checked the pedestal and determined it was wired correctly and the problem was with the trailer. We hired an RV TECH and he found the main power supply pinched between the frame and the trailer that sits on the frame. Causing wires to become bare and the wires began to burn. The RV TECH replaced the power supply and routed the wires correctly. Cost was 1100.
