When we had our fire in August, it started in the engine compartment. The fuel filters had been changed by a Ford dealership in Michigan shortly before the fire. The evidence points to a fuel line coming off the upper filter and the resulting fuel leak ignited. The fire spread though the truck and took out the fifth wheel.
The insurance company did a preliminary investigation, but did not want to pay for a formal investigation because the destruction in the engine compartment did not leave enough evidence. The last time I heard from the insurance company, they were still negotiating with Ford for compensation. This 2013 Ford was meticulously maintained in accordance the the manufacturer's recommendations. And all service was performed by Ford dealerships.
BTW, we were travelling with the propane and refrigerator on, and the fire was extinguised before the propane was ignited.
