What's wrong?
The fireplace outlet in 2024-2025 Forest River Wildwood and Salem travel trailers supplies 110V power to the electric fireplace. The wiring behind that outlet is supposed to carry household-style current from the trailer's electrical system to the receptacle without overheating while the fireplace is in use.
On affected trailers, the outlet was built with incorrect wiring. Forest River says stranded "SJ" wire was used where 110V Romex wire belongs, and the installed self-contained receptacle also needs replacement. That mismatch came from a manufacturing error. When the fireplace draws power through the wrong outlet setup, the wiring or receptacle can heat enough to produce smoke.
The warning sign is the smell of smoke when the fireplace is running. If you notice that smell, stop using the fireplace and have the trailer inspected before using it again.
Who's affected?
