Another One Burns To The Ground

Very few motor home fires compared to car fires, (Very few motor homes v/s cars) in my days as a Police dispatcher I sent troopers and fire to many car fires, never one motor home or Trailer.

In my days since I've seen one RV fire... This was a TT, however the trailer was not burning (had smoke damage to the front outside but other than wash, and perhaps a bit of repaint, no other repair needed) The tow vehicle however.. Was toast.

As for fridge fires. I would not say it is the fridge that is dangerous. Many of those when you check 'em out you find bird's nests in the flu and things like that.. no maintenance.

Of course sometimes it is a propane leak or ammonia leak, or other defect, but a good percentage of them are lack of routine cleaning.

A lot of folks don't put in the extra work it takes to drive the big rigs,me ether when we were new bees . The more u put in, the more u get out. And now it's all happy-camping

I drive quite a bit and have never seen a MH on fire on the side of the road. I have seen trucks and cars leave burnt spots though.

TT Sway, flip, and send you into a ditch. MH get flats and roll, but don't sway unless a sway bar, pitman arm, or other part breaks.

Can't tell if it's the fridge area or the p'pane tank area. TT's tend to flip in a heavy wind moreso than MH's because of the open area under the TT's.

Is it me or does it seem like its more MH's for fires and TT for turn overs?

The PA one looks suspiciously like a mid-coach fire. Another refrigerator issue? When is somebody going to put these guys out of business for making such a dangerous piece of garbage?

And another here in MI
