We have read about an extinguisher that mounts in the engine compartment and
will automatically expel if a fire should erupt in the
area.

If this is true does anyone know who sells them?

Hi, Either Applied GMC or the GMC Coop has the system.

Thanks

That thing will eliminate a lot of fear while you are traveling down the road. The Onan and refer ones are also good to have mounted.

Ideally, I believe you should have an automatic extinguisher (either Halon or foam) in the engine compartment, generator compartment, and behind the fridge if it is a propane fired one.

In addition, a handy extinguisher inside the coach by the exit door would give you the best protection possible. Of course, this is in addition to a propane, CO, and smoke detector.

Looking at the whole picture, this is really cheap insurance that could be life-saving.

George, I have a halon handheld right by the door.
I hope Mr. Bounds can get the company back on track soon. Having the system sure takes a load off my mind as we travel.

I would guess that insurance companies would give a discount if you had these automatic systems, I've never asked but they did on my boat.
