Sad day for these folks in Alabama

Their towed caught on fire, they didn't catch it. A passing vehicle alerted them but it was too late. Watch what happens when they open the coach's door. Anytime the fire fighters take a hose INTO the coach, it's not going to end well...Dennis

    Ouch. That will not buff out. Sad, but it sounds like the owners were reasonable about it - things happen. As long as no one was hurt things can be replaced.

    Dragging toad supplemental brakes would be my guess.


    A good reason to always check the aux. brakes before starting out. We pull the emergency cable out and check to hear the alarm in the RV so we know all is OK.

    I feel so sorry for those people - a nice looking M.H. destroyed.

    That is awful. What could have caused the toad to catch on fire?
