| A couple of cardboard storage boxes were stored in an exterior storage compartment of our rv and the storage light was not turned on. arriving at our destination an hour and a half later i opened the storage compartment to find a hole burned in the storage light lens, a burn mark on the cardboard storage box and the light switch could not be moved to turn off the light (appeared to be melted in place). i had to remove the lens and bulb. | |||
