What's wrong?
The 12-volt back-up power supply harness in the 2024 Airstream Interstate feeds power to the water heater and furnace system. An in-line fuse belongs in that circuit. Its job is to open the circuit when current gets too high, so the wiring is not left carrying more electrical load than it was designed to handle.
On affected Interstate motorhomes, that fuse was not installed after a revision to the 12V back-up power supply harness. Without the fuse, the harness lacks the overcurrent protection meant to stop excess current in that circuit. If a fault overloads the wire, heat can build in the harness instead of being interrupted by the fuse.
The warning sign listed by Airstream is a burning smell. Treat that as an electrical warning sign and have the vehicle checked before using the water heater or furnace again.
