When I got home with the caravan the internal lights wouldn't work. Looked at the PDU below the seat and every fuse had been ejected and the box was in pieces. Put it back together and put in all the fuses and everything works. What the heck happened ? Anyone any ideas?

A mouse has gone to night school and got qualified.

Was this the little 12volt fuses. When you say the box was in pieces what do you mean.

Yes every single 12v fuse was ejected and on the floor. The top section of the white box was off and the metal electrical unit was also on the floor.
I have looked at the unit and I can see that the holding down lugs are broken and I reckon the unit repeatedly jumped in the air as I was travelling and threw out all the fuses and destroyed the rest.
I will have to devise a means of strapping down the PDU as the plastic lugs used to hold it down are knackered.

Nope. Nothing in that area. It just seems so strange that every fuse was out and difficult to retrieve as they had snuck in below the PDU and lying on the floor in the PDU area.
