Critters Critters Critters - Wires Chewed

Hello All,

I was wondering if someone might be able to give me an idea of what I am in for. I have a 2017 3661 RL. Bought used a couple of years ago. We love it. Parked for the winter about a month or so ago. Yesterday I went out to prep for use over the holidays. Its nice to have a couple of spare bedrooms around when you need them.

When I went to use the LEVEL UP system I immediately received an error. "External Sensor". Researched and found that this is either due to a bad rear leveling sensor or a short in the wiring to it. Thought this a bit odd, as all was working fine just a short while ago.

Opened the basement, and what do ya know...BLACK WALNUT shells galore.
Damn tree rats. UGH

So no doubt its more than likely a chewed wire. Looks like the harness runs bettween the basement floor and the coroplast then along the frame between the floor and coroplast thru the main section i would imagine while it heads to the rear.

So I know Im going to have to drop the coroplast under the basement, and then under the main section until I find the break. I also plan to check all wiring and plumbing behind the basement wall just for good measure.

I would like to hear from others that have done something similar. What is the smart way to go about this. No matter how you slice it. It looks to be a bit of a job and would appreciate the advice of others. Trying to work smarter not harder.

Oh...to anyone that does respond. THANK YOU!! Much appreciated.

Merry Christmas...Happy New Year...Safe Travels
