I've seen a couple RV fires in the past, one a TT the other a 5er, and yes... they do go up in flames very fast.
I wonder how the aluminum framed and Styrofoam filled wall campers do when a fire breaks out?
(For anyone to set their own RV on fire), ‘they MUST be mentally unstable’.
Sadly, it seems like there’s an awful lot of that going around...- Caribou is Fleetwood model, but might be more.
I've seen several RV after fire dropped off at junk yard and usually they are not taller than 3 ft from the ground.
That is why I never drove with propane on in motorhomes, where propane tubings would run on top of fender liner, so any flat tire can easy end with totaling it.
TC might have safer propane piping, but think about it
- styrofoam insulation.
-wood paneling walls
-wood furniture
-nylon carpeting, or vinyl floor.
This all burns very well and even if you have aluminium siding, that is going to melt open.
Fiberglass will smolder. - Yup, in line with the 'Keep Portland Weird' mantra. Big issue with Zombie RV's that roam around here and there. We even had a few turn up in our area out in the sticks with cardboard covered windows and bungie cords holding the door shut. Most of them need exactly what transpired - five gallons of gas & a match. They look unsafe to be on the road, and if exterior represents interior, they are likely unsafe to even live in (mold, rot, etc).
-Eric - Would have been cooler if it was an old Fireball
- And that, kids, is why you don’t doo drugs!
- Was probably rotten any. Looks to be an old Lance maybe?
