GOOD EYE..... ground wire fried .... I replaced it ...... My fault... I did not have a fuse when I was testing a circuit.... a + wire worked loose and grounded out. Thank my lucky stars I had a battery monitor attached and could see it jump to a 60 amp draw and disconnect it before a fire started. The damage seems confined to the smaller gauge ground wire. I have zero amp draw on the 2 circuits with an amp meter when all equipment is turned off and the circuit is powered up......

Froli bed system,
I purchase the froli star basic package from amazon . I was concerned that I would need a few extra modules.... they are perhaps spread a bit then... but they work perfect...
After my first order success I ordered another basic package for the bottom bed ... spread even thinner but works great...
Huge difference in comfort ....
hung from thumb tacks in dinnette mode
Was it thin enough to use the factory mattress in the CO, or did you have to get a thinner one?

I am not sure if my mattress is factory or not. What I had is an upholstered 2 inch ish upholstered mattress on top of another 2 inch ish piece of un-upholstered foam. I remove the the bottom foam and replaced it with the froli system. Cabover folds down no problem, actually even better than before, because the froli system is spread thin and does not extend all the way to the edge. This allows the hinges more room on the fold down... I purchase the system from amazon and figured I would order extra pieces if needed. The cabover fit is perfect... in my opinion. The system I installed in the lower bunk interferes a bit with the dinette seating. that bed is bigger and could easily fit another row of froli modules. I am going to roll with it as is for awhile and see how i like the arrangement. Extra modules are kind expensive when ordered from the USA supplier... I was also interested in the elevated headrest froli has to offer. The headrest would replace some of the froli modules.. module could also be removed from the feet area and used elsewhere.....

I suggest you install a strain-relief wire clip like the one seen in this factory set up for the pigtail. It will keep the vibrations and movement of the wiring from wiggling loose the small plug from the camper. Chuck the pic out, I have several and they all show the last/bottom screw holding the wire clip:
