Sad. Real glad the owners were ok.
Ever wonder why there are no reported investigations into why so many Class A's go up in flames while driving down the road??? I haven't ever seen any reports.
If a specific make or model of a truck or car had this many incidents of fire there would be a huge investigation as to why. How come not for the Class A's?
IMHO there just has to be a common denominator for these Class A fires that the manufacturere's are skirting around because there is never any investigations regarding them.
In my experience of accident investigations (RVs involved) over 23 years the only 2 mechanical causes were brake fires and excessive accumulation of oil and grease which caught fire when in contact with hot exhaust. None caused by steering or suspension defects surprisingly enough.
This is one of the reason, my Friend where we store the MH wipes off the excess grease from greasing ujoints etc.
The muffler has a cat in it also, and the shield came loose and off one time. Before when others greased it, greeas was slung over everything and some of it ended up on the car shield and windshield and roof of towed.
