    Wires touching RV Frig Heat Tube - Black Scorch Mark

    I'd noticed some of the wiring behind the RV frig were touching the frig's heat tube that rises up from the burner below.
    Moved the frig forward so I could look. The 120VAC wire jacket has some black mark from heat.
    Going to secure the wires closer the the wall so they don't touch.

    Except for the boiler tube, I wouldn’t expect that kind of heat there. Sure it’s not paint? I’d be concerned if it is from heat.

    Looks like heat related, black is right where the wire was touching.
    carnolddsm's PDF shows it Pretty Hot there.

    It looks like you have a 12V wire with nicked insulation also. If so, you might want to place a wrap of tape around it.
