RV Fire I27

I wonder how long it would take to notice a fire in the engine compartment traveling down the road. The delay could really contribute to the growth of the fire. Sure there is a camera, but how often do I really look at it if things seem fine.

Just thinking to myself. Unless a passerby warned me, I might not notice for a while. I flagged down an over the road truck that had his trailer on fire before, and he had no idea.

What do you base this accusation on? Maybe you should refrain from baseless speculation that borders on bullying.

Sad to see that nice looking RV looking not so nice after the fire but there is also good news in the headline of the article. Specifically the first two words.

And nice of the Media outlet to put those two most important words first.

For those who did not follow the link, they are "ALL SAFE".

nobody got burned. (Physically that is).

Thank You EPA. Lets put some more heavy,expensive and very hot emission controls on these engines since every RV travels millions of of miles per year.

Feel really bad for them. That was a nice rig.

Probably repairable IMO.

Thy do self incinerate quite nicely.

Glad there ok.
