6400 generator inverter burnout

[m1]

I'm very new to all of this RV stuff, and I really appreciate all the great help you all have given me.

I have a 2009 SuperNova 6400 with 7000 miles and the 8K generator with only 19 hours. Gen would not start. Took it in and they found the inverter was toast. They replaced under warranty, but get this. The machanic said what caused it was that the mud flaps are to short and allowed the tires to throw water right up the bottom air intake and shorted out the inverter.

This seems to be a design issue, but will attempt to get longer flaps before using in wet conditions again.

Has anyone else heard of this type of issue?

P.S. this type of formun is great and much appreciated!!!
