What's wrong?
In the 2018-2019 Lance Camper 855S, the 12 volt battery power wire and ground wire serve the refrigerator area. The power wire carries battery electricity to the appliance, and the ground wire completes the circuit so that electricity returns safely. Both wires need to stay routed away from hot refrigerator parts.
The problem is wire placement near the refrigerator burner box. That burner box gets hot during refrigerator operation. On affected campers, the 12 volt power wire, the ground wire, or both can contact the hot metal box. Heat can damage the wire insulation and leave burned refrigerator wiring, which is the condition Lance Camper found during its defect review.
There is no dashboard light or driving symptom for this wiring issue. The warning sign is visual: an inspection behind or around the refrigerator cabinet shows wiring close to, or touching, the burner box. The corrected setup uses a clamp on the refrigerator cabinet floor to hold the 12 volt wires away from the hot burner box.

What's the safety risk?
Wire insulation near the refrigerator burner box can melt and let the wire short against the burner box, increasing the risk of a fire.
