Motorhome fires
I recently visited an RV junkyard in London Kentucky. I believe at least three fourths of the motorhomes that were there were because of fires in the rear of the diesel motorhome. What is the deal wit...

He said often the problem is excessive grease and oil build-up, something ignites it and viola.. I'm way better than most and still find buildups even after ~3000 miles. What about the folks making 15000 mile loops around the country and never give the engine a glance?
I'm thinking that a majority of these fires can be traced back to a poor maintenance history.
