Big radiator opening in front, doors for big storage compartments in the back.

Ok, thanks. Good visual catch on the grill and big storage bays in the back. :C

The posted video makes it look like it might be a driver's side rear tire fire? The flames are way forward of where it shows in the photos

Based on the lack of any visible fire damage to the rear or passenger side but a lot of the roof burned it looks likely the fire started on the roof itself.

I’d be willing to bet it was an electrical fire in the rear rooftop A/C unit.

It would be pretty hard to notice an electrical fire on the roof while underway from inside the coach.

Fires originating in the rear are usually DP's.
The engine is in the rear. Those that the cause has been identified are usually Class A DP rear engine RV's.

This one is a gasser, not a DP. The generator may be installed in the rear corner though as our's is, and since it's Florida in the summer, very likely could have been running to use the roof A/C.

Naw. The RV.net fire investigators (and accident investigators) are never wrong.

It shows the fire department 'on scene" apparently way BEFORE it went up in flames. One would wonder why they did not put it out at that stage?

THe fire was both INSIDE and OUTSIDE at that point. INSIDE the canger is not so much the fire as the Toxic Gases from burning "Stuff" you basically need a full haz-mat suit to go in and spray water about.

Plus The Rig was basically toast at that point anyway. So the Fireman Decided to NOT take the risk.

My guess is a generator fire based on where ours is located in about the same size gasser.
