AS noted by several here, it seems most, of the fires, are in the engine area, that we have seen.
Saw one under drivers seat area. May have been a leaking wheel seal and hot generator exhaust but I doubt it.
Cleanliness is next to godliness around a hot engine.
The closest risk I can think of is the plywood engine cover under our bed.
May have to pen it up and consider perhaps a piece of 1/8in aluminum over it.
Certainly fire extinguishers is a great idea but no manufacturer does it.
The list, of improvements even necessary ones, is long, and most don't get around to it. Most think the manufacturers do a good job and leave it at that.
I guess we are luck there are not more fires.
