Fuse box smell

I live in a small park model camper. Today I noticed a heat smell and finally tracked it down to my pantry, the fuse box is located out side directly behind this area. I felt around the switches in the box and noticed the ones labeled air conditioner were very warm to the touch. I shut off the ac and left for about an hour. When I came back the smell as not as strong and the switches in the box had cooled down. I decided to start up the AC again and in a matter of minutes the smell came back again. What could be causing this and is it safe to stay in the camper tonight?

Certainly a loose connection in the consumer unit/fuse box.

Switch off the AC and get the electrics checked.

The original post from the 'DIYer' speaks of the "AC" - The Air Conditioning

Sounds like no AC for you.. At least it gives you the chance to 'be a one with nature' and sleep naked in ya camper!
