I did and I did.
Called Freightliner here in the states and they quoted me $2500 for the one esparD5wsc they had in stock down in Dallas.
Called Charlotte NC Freightliner and they quoted me $11000 USD and they would have to order it.
EBay has them all day long in Germany for $1050 USD, but they will not ship to US, because tariffs.
I found a brand new espar D5WSC with the 12v Freightliner (Mercedes) plug at a RV dealer in North Wisconsin, and he sold it for $1505 shipped. Took a lot of searching.
I'm not giving up my old housing tho. Parts are expensive.
Tariffs work both ways, and I'm on the end where I'm getting the raw end of the deal.

Okay, guys, "switched leads" is probably the culprit.
After starting within 2-3 minutes, the metal fins near the silver insulation became very hot.
The individual who installed it is coming by tomorrow. I shall let you know how things progress.
There are too many wires and connections for me to even try to manage.
That would be a surefire way to go from annoying to complete disaster.
Also, those who caused the problem shall be the ones to fix it. -
