Jay Feather, 1st problem

We've had our 23' Jay Feather for a year now and it has been great. We probably have close to 2000 miles on it.
It has been sitting in the drive for about a month, just too hot for me to camp.
I went out today to turn the air on so it could cool and my wife could clean it and the air conditioner wouldn't come on. No fan, no compressor. I checked all the fuses and breakers and the 30 amp supply...all good.
After much mumbling and checking with the volt meter, I took the thermostat off the wall.
I was not impressed with what I found.
All the wires were stripped at least a half inch longer than they needed to be with the bare wire sticking out of the wire nuts.
The wire nut for the ground wires was gone and the wires were no longer connected.
I put on s new wire nut and tightened and tsped the other wires and all is good!
I was surprised to find such sloppy wiring.

And that is just your thermostat... Pull your breaker panel sometime and see how many wires on the bus bar and at the breakers are stripped too long.
