Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
This is probably a very stupid question, but I dont know anything at all about class A rvs. And Im not even sure if I have the right information (probably dont)
My wife's friend told her that she somehow melted some wires and connector having something to do with the generator in her class A RV. She said it had something to do with not turning off some kind of shut off switch when she parked it for a couple of months.
That doesnt make any sense to me. It seems that even if some master switch is turned on, there would still be no current flow. Certainly not enough to melt things. The only thing that would remotely make sense to me is if the RV was plugged in to shore power charging the battery, and someone decided to run the generator at the same time doubleing the current. But even then, I cant believe that a 2002 RV wouldn't have some kind of fail safe mechanism that would prevent the current from doubling on the charging circuit.
Anyone have any ideas what kind of damage just leaving a master switch on would do (other than draining batteries), or would cause wires and connectors to melt on a generator circuit ?

It took a lot of translation and trying to figure out "woman" and "ding bat" talk. But I think "melted wires and connectors" were actually green and corroded wires and connectors. She finally told my wife that they had to replace the batteries and some wires. I think these were probably the original batteries. And with the "storage" switch not turned off, the batteries were dead in less than a week and the wires/connectors have probably been corroded for quite some time.
