Our brand new 2024 Winnebago Revel was smoking/caught fire from the lithium house battery while driving from Washington state to Alaska. The incident occurred right before US customs on the highway to Alaska. House power failed while driving so we pulled over to diagnose the issue, when attempting to restore power to the vehicle, the positive terminal of the battery began smoking/caught fire. I immediately cut off the breaker and the alternator disconnect. Since the lithium battery is so large this could have spread and burned the entire vehicle, possibly harming my wife, our dog and myself. This was reproduced by the Winnebago service center in Anchorage, Alaska upon our arrival. There were no warnings or symptoms, if we had not noticed the power failure to the house systems we would have not known to pull over and inspect the battery.
