Just curious. Did you have diesel fires in a lot of those trucks because of leaking radiator hoses & evaporation of antifreeze that ignited? Seems like that is very common in diesel MHs due to how the engines are mounted in such confined spaces.
Never in all my years with my foot on the pedals, have I ever heard of an antifreeze fire.
OBTW my Newmar has an engine compartment that you can get into by lifting the bed or entering the the rear access, no problems getting to or removing anything.
most all engine compartment fires start as an electrical problem, which applies to a gas engined coach as well as a diesel.
You should check it out a liitle further because it is happening.
