A thorough evaluation of the charging circuits is in order. I'd get the dealer to replace everything that has any corrosion, clean the compartment, replace the batteries, and give you some type of extended warranty.


I have similar corrosion on my 2018 Ace that I just bought 3 mo ago. I’ve washed it out and oiled it but there is a problem. Interesting that we have the same batteries and date stamp.
Maybe it’s a battery problem. I’m sure Thor charged them and kept them charged after they were built in the Winter and were parked till they were driven away.............sure. I was suspecting a cracked battery.
