Equipment problem #1

I stopped at a campground after leaving SC. Discovered a thor factory solar panel had detached somewhere between SC and arkansas. The mounting bracket was still attached to the roof but the bolts, washers and nuts were missing on 2 of the 4 mounts and the other mounts had loose components. It would have been a possible catastrophic event if it would have detached at highway speeds.

Fuel Filter problem #2

Operator was driving a 2021 Ford f550 equipped with an altec at48m aerial upfit. As he was driving the operator noted that the check engine light came on and almost immediately followed by the message center displayed "low fuel pressure" warning. As he was preparing to stop, he could see smoke coming out from under the hood of the truck. As he exited the cab, he could see smoke and flames coming out of the truck.
