On the evening of 7-1-25 we had finished unhooking the rv. As we were setting out our leveling blocks we noticed smoke pouring from the front battery compartment. After we had disconnected our batteries via the battery disconnect switch and removed the batteries we were able to search out the cause of the smoke . The power cable from the tow vehicle where it makes connection to the camper was inserted into a metal box. The connector to the box had come free allowing the cord to rub through and short to ground on the metal box causing the wire to burn back through the wire bundle into the battery compartment. This melted all the wires in the bundle and fused them together . There appears to be no fusebile links in line to protect against thermal overload. If we had not been parked and unhooked we would not have been able to respond so quickly to disable the battery power .

*I believe the frame to my Grand Design RV is broken/failing again and is available for inspection. *If the frame fails and breaks it will come detached from the tow vehicle possibly injuring or worse killing people. *The problem is visible to see as there is at least one broken weld and lag bolts/screws backing out that no longer hold the frame to the wall structure. *The vehicle was previously inspected by an insurance agent, dealership, and multiple Grand Design SRTs-mobile technicians when it failed before previous repairs. *There was sealant that was failing again so when I started to remove it to replaced, it I noticed some broken screw heads so I dug farther into it and found the broken weld and lag bolts loose/stripped. This was noticed during a routine sealant inspection.
