Forest River is recalling 2021 Berkshire motorhomes with 3000W inverters that may cause fire because the wiring can't handle the current. This affects owners who have these specific models. If you own one, contact Forest River for a free replacement inverter.
The 3000W inverters supply too much current to the 10 gauge Romex wiring, which can overheat and cause a fire. This is a risk when the inverter is used for high-power electrical loads beyond what the wiring can safely handle.
