Used RV Fire on the way home to Colorado

The site has a pay wall, but unless you've been there before you get a few free articles.

Lucky they saved their toad. Doesn't say where they bought it.

So sorry for those folks. The fact they got out safely is what counts. One thing I will say is my wife always has her purse and bag with laptop passports and important stuff handy by the door so it can be grabbed as you exit.

i'm guessing HOT brakes, but its only a guess
could have been a sticky caliper rubbing on the rotor

Looks like it was a diesel, fire started on drivers front. Wonder if they had the generator running with A/C on as it was very hot & muggy in IL today. Feel so bad for them. I hope financially all turns out well for them so they can try again.

In case any of you are concerned about the site, it's a USA Today newspaper site

Wow, my ad blocker blocked 50 ads from that site. Pretty excessive I'd say.

Just bought it and were driving home, bummer. Hope it was insured.

I hope they try again.

Bummer!

From the article:
"The couple said they had just purchased the used motorhome and were returning home when it was destroyed."
(I saw no ads when viewing.)

All I got was ad after ad.
