What's wrong?
The auxiliary battery on a 2010-2013 Proline Travel Trailer supplies low-voltage power for trailer equipment when the trailer is not plugged into shore power or connected to a tow vehicle. Its wiring needs overcurrent protection, which is a fuse that opens the circuit when too much electrical current flows through it. That fuse keeps the battery circuit from carrying more current than the wiring can safely handle.
On the affected trailers, the auxiliary battery was installed without the needed fuse for overcurrent protection. If the battery circuit is overloaded or a wire is damaged, the circuit does not have that fuse to interrupt the electrical flow. The wiring can keep carrying excess current, which creates heat in a place that should be protected.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a light, sound, or visible change from the battery system before the electrical fault occurs.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the trailer's wiring harness is physically damaged, the battery can short circuit and melt the wiring, increasing the risk of a fire. If you see damaged wiring, stop using the trailer and call the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Proline dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2013 Proline Travel Trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact Proline customer service at 1-603-652-7337 for current repair instructions.
- Ask about the free in-line fuse-holder installation that adds overcurrent protection to the auxiliary-battery circuit.
- Bring the recall notice if Proline mailed one. If not, reference recall number 13V561 when you call.
- Park the trailer away from structures if the wiring harness is damaged or the auxiliary-battery wiring shows heat damage, then ask Proline before moving it.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Proline technician installs in-line fuse holders for the auxiliary battery circuit. That adds overcurrent protection to the battery wiring installed by Proline. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. When you call for service, tell the dealer this is recall 13V561 and ask whether the in-line fuse holder parts are ready for your 2010-2013 Travel Trailer.
