I must have bumped the duct and made contact. Sure glad it happened when I was right there.
Replaced the duct with heavier plastic flex tube and taped up the exposed circuit breaker. I suggest you tape it up as well.

Hello Whirnot, I few weeks ago I contacted Thor and asked them what the hoses were for. I never liked that they laid across all the battery. While investigating how they were run I noticed they lay in the fender well in a/c condensation water. Thor told me that they were part of the recirculation a/c system on the chassis. I removed the desk and went in through the top. I made a bracket to hold both those hoses up to the bottom of the dash. I am still able to get to the oil refill and the hoses are off the battery making it easier to reach the battery cut off on top of the battery. That was a good thing that you were able to see how that could have gone wrong thank you for sharing. I am going to look at the wiring on that breaker and make the necessary improvements!
