Anyone who has the Induction Cooktop in their Heartland, knows these have a glass top. Logic follows that this glass could get broken. We have not taken it easy on ours and it's held up well for over 2 years of significant use, both on cooking and in storing items on the counter and the cooktop.
Well, today it met its match - pothole-rich I-40 through Flagstaff, AZ! And while I avoided most of them by looking ahead and moving around them, there was one that snuck up on me and it was a doozy! It really lurched the truck and by extension, the RV.
I have MORryde IS (independent suspension) and it's good, but it's not a miracle against all perils.
So today, a glass shade from an LED ceiling light above the microwave, came off and dropped straight down onto the two-burner glass cooktop. The shade is okay but the cooktop shattered. Looks like glass shade dropped perpendicular to the glass surface with the edge of the shade contacting the cooktop. My guess is that had it hit the cooktop flat, we might have gotten lucky.
Anyway, here's my oops of the day:

Now something else to check on our coach every so often - the ceiling lights. Thanks for sharing.
