I missed this on my first read of your post. Funny! :B

Agree, glad they were OK, hate they lost the coach. RV fires never seem to end well.

I agree, it does appear to be an Allegro and the fire is concentrated around the refrigerator or rear brake area.
It is a little cooler down here but I doubt if they were running the furnace. Since they gave there names I figured that someone on the forum might know them and would be interested in the fact that they are OK, even tho they lost their coach.

That Allegro doesn't have a drivers door like the one on fire.......

Fine. Be picky. :B Here ya go. Paint scheme is all the same. Driver door is often an option.

Ivylog: How could you be a member of this forum for 9 years and not know of drivers doors? They were very popular in the 90's and 80's. Pace arrows had that option and lots of Tiffins had them as well.

Could have been stove top fire. Maybe generator.......maybe electrical
Maybe from a lit cigarette.

Not ALL rv fires have anything to do with fridges.
They may travel with the fridge OFF

Maybe water heater........furnace :H

I vote for an Allegro like this:



And here is another pic of the fire in an earlier stage. I vote for fridge fire.

My old HR DP has a driver's door, about all I can do is fall out of it.

I'm glad they got out ok. I've become somewhat retentive about installing automatic fire extinguishers as funds come along.

Yes, there are DPs with a driver's door. My friend has one with a Cat engine. It's about a 1997 model. The article did mention gas, but who knows.

I do not know of any DPs with a driver's door. Glad they and the dog got out.
