 Would a fire suppression system added to the engine compartment of a diesel pusher be of any use. ??
 If you had a fire, might be useful.
 I don't think it is something I would do. Just spend the money on insurance. If you're going to have an RV fire, the engine bay of a pusher is probably the least likely to kill you.
 We were stuck in traffic for about 2 hours in northern AZ, after this tour bus had an engine bay fire. Everyone got out safely.

 Check out the suppression devices available in the store.
- TucsonJimExplorer IIAlthough my rig was a diesel pick up and fifth wheel, I wished I'd had a fire suppression system. A diesel leak in August and it all went up in flames.   
 I'm sure a fire suppression system in the engine would have made our insurance company happy.

 Just like insurance. Great when you need it---but hope you don't!
 Motorhome fires.......engine compartments and axle/wheel areas
