Other than a steel propane tank and a motorhome's steel fuel tank (both of which probably don't catch fire initially or at all) and interior wood cabinetry, what is so flammable in an RV, anyway?
Other than the above, our motorhome consists mostly of fiberglas, foam insulation, steel, and aluminum.
