 While camping in a campsite and connected to shore power the iota 50 amp automatic transfer switch (ats) shorted and caught fire. there was smoke in the cabin and flames coming from the ats which extinguished themselves before the fire extinguisher could be retrieved from the front of the cabin. the resulting damage besides the ats also included mainline wiring to the shore power connection and the main circuit panel. costs of repair exceeded $1,000. this the second time a fire has occurred on an iota 50 amp ats in this particular vehicle previously being reported in oct 2010. the placement of the unit is directly underneath a wardrobe in the bedroom and within inches of the bottom drawer. this is an extremely dangerous situation and a product that has an obvious history of shorts and fires. we were fortunate that serious injuries were avoided.

 2007 jayco greyhawk 33ds there is evidence of an electrical fire in the transfer switch for the main cabin that damaged the transfer switch, left residue and caused an electrical service failure to the front of the cabin while operating on the on-board generator. this occurred over a period of two years until a total failure ceased operations. the transfer switch was ultimately replaced by a service dealer and the failed unit is in my possession. the service technician at the dealer indicated that it was most likely an issue with one of the set screws that had not been secured properly during manufacture. i have contacted jayco for reimbursement as of today. my concern is that this fire would have obviously occurred while the unit was occupied. i feel that i am fortunate that a more serious event had not occurred and that the remainder of the rv is still intact. i can provide photos and the physical unit if required.
