## Narrative
THE OUTSIDE LED STRIP LIGHT UNDER THE CAMPER AWNING SHORTED OUT AND STARTED SMOKING. LUCKILY, I WAS UNDER THE AWNING AS THIS STARTED HAPPENING, SO I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF QUICKLY, BEFORE THE AWNING CAUGHT ON FIRE. NO BREAKERS OR FUSES WERE TRIPPED. THIS IS ON A CAMPER I BOUGHT NEW FIVE MONTHS AGO AND HAVE ONLY USED ABOUT FIVE TIMES, AND WHEN I TAKE THIS IN FOR REPAIR, I'M SCARED I WILL GET AN IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT.
