I wonder where the fire started in this coach.
It would appear in the fridge. I know there were
recalls of some fridges for fire hazard on later RVs,
including my 2000 Cedar Creek travel trailer.

I'd bet there are lots of good parts left even if
it might not be a good candidate for a rebuild.
Whoever maintains the TZE list might be able to
identify this coach by the FMCA plate on front
bumper.

A hard way to tint the windows.
Sad to see but there are 33 higher resolution pictures here:

The wheels alone are almost worth the current (starting) bid. $1,750.00. While I have seen worse be rebuilt, it is most likely be best for parts... Like I said, sad.

I was going to say, it doesn't really look *that* bad... Although it looks like some burn-through body damage, which might be hard to fix.
And yes, these wheels and even the tires look pretty good!

Hey guys, I bought the last dead GMCMH out of N. Ill. It's now someone else's turn.

I run one in engine compartment, Onan, and back of refer. Lots of the fires in several rvs are alleged to have started in the back of refer area so I got one there. I have one on the Onan because occassionally we use it going down the road to run air conditioner. If you don't do that you don't need one there. I keep a hand held Halon by my entry door, just in case we have a fire like we did before.
