All, this week there was a BIG fire at a Motorhome dealership about 1 hour north of Toronto. (on the way to Dick Paterson's)
Perliminary reports are the fire started in a coach in the indoor showroom. I know the coaches in their showroom were plugged in but the fridges weren't cold but were "on" so the interior lights would come on(in think).
For those that leave their MH plugged in or batteries connected,
have another look at electrial things that could start a fire.
I think if the coach is NOt plugged in, the propane is OFF and all batteries are disconnected the risk of the coach starting its own fire are very low. As soon as something is hooked up or turned on the risk goes up.
Be carefull !!!

Having just had a nice rental house burn the ground during remodeling while everything was properly shut down while we were off the job, I plan to put those auto extinguishers in Retro as well as a master kill switch for the batteries.
(Yep. I shut it down myself and the fire inspectors could find no real reason. We assume a rodent chewed the electrical service.)
