Well, if you looked at all the videos, there was a trailer park where it was not a motor home that was the problem, but a TT or 5er. At least that is what appeared as to me. Running down the highway with power to the break lights could cause a short that could ignite something. A brake drum overheating from malfunction could cause a fire. Some idiot tosses a cigarette out the window and it lands just right, can cause a fire. There are a number of variables that can cause a fire, MH or Towable

Skypilot,
You are so right. Those small extinguishers are good only if you catch it at the very initial start of something. Safety of people is most paramount and comes before all else. I would never go back in for something material. All material things can be replaced or remembered.

The TV could be the problem. I wonder how many carry a fire extinguisher in a convenient place in the TV???

The posting of the link was not to scare or put blame on any one type of unit, but as an awareness that things can, and do, go wrong sometimes.




The MH is a different breed from a towable trailer
