Yes they are. Hopefully Lisa and Pete take note of any wiring bundles and/or lights they may have touched. There may have been damaged wiring that they moved and fixed the problem without even knowing it. One caution about the Escape design is how they run bundles of wires under the horizontal wood supports in the dinette seats. If you remove the wood seats take note of the different size screws. If a longer screw is put through the wiring bundle you are in for a real nightmare.

Great idea. Another consideration: the cable clamps that are used by Escape are often undersized. Too many cables are jammed together and some are not contained within the circumference of the clamp. The result - wiring may be crushed or perhaps severed where the clamp attaches to the framing. I replaced many of the plastic cable clamps with a various sizes of rubber/stainless steel clamps. Escape uses these better quality clamps for the solar installations on the roof. I've checked. Refer to photos.
