Was working under the hood of my Vegas today and had a little problem.

In the picture are the two vent hoses that go from the radiator support past the battery into the coach dash to provide fresh air .
The top picture shows the hoses post problem after I rerouted them.
The issue was the hose on the left was originally routed over top of the breaker ( you can see the top lug) .
Apparently the lug was rubbing against the hose and when I put a little side pressure on the hose while checking the battery the lug contacted springy wire inside the hose and it shorted.
The wire instantly turned into a bulb filament glowing red ,melting the hose and burning me.
I cut the damaged hose , properly routed it and reattached it .
Something for you Vegas owners to check on your rigs.
