Well sounds like you got the fire out quickly and you and your MH are ok. I've always wondered about high temps of the genset and fear fire. My genset has over a 1000 hrs on it and has a layer of dirt and greese about 1/8 thick. going to power wash that off and remove flywheel cover and cylinder head heat shield and get that all cleaned out to reduce operating temps. I have found many RV's missing heat shielding on the genset exhaust, like mine I think that they rattle off and don't get put back on, it is a tight hole to work in.
On the fire note I also fear the fridge, seems to be alot of them burning up RV's so I've read and see video's.
And you are correct, I have not found very many old Shasta MH's really the only ones I can pull up on internet searches is mine. And have never found one exactly or close to mine.
And I've never see one with wings like mine had wich I researched as a rare and unwanted option. lol
