Description of the problem	Recently experienced an issue where main lighting and exterior lighting quit working. After troubleshooting and analysis, i was able to find the root cause. Behind the power inverter and cabinetry i discovered where all the camper wiring came together. I discovered several bundles of 12v common/ground wiring bunched together. I three areas i found up to 7 wires connected together with a blue wire nut and wrapped in electrical tape. Upon further investigation, i found the "bundle" of wires associated with the lights that didn't work. After removing the electrical tape, i found the wiring had been poorly or incorrectly installed and created an area of high resistance, resulting in a meltdown of the wire nut and all associated wires. This causes a great concern because there are other areas were large numbers are wires are connected together and therefore creating a continued fire risk. Attached is a photo of the damaged area that was removed.
