A Recent Van Fire June 04, 2022, 10:45:22 pm This video breaks my heart but this young couple actually has a terrific attitude or perspective. At any rate, I wanted to share this with the Neighborhood.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loiARpb_cOU
Re: A Recent Van Fire Reply #1 – June 04, 2022, 11:10:44 pm RE: VAN FIREThe couple said that they thought they were pretty lucky as they had not yet moved into the van before the total loss of the vehicle. They vowed to try again; this time with a bit newer unit. Virtual hugs, Judie
Re: A Recent Van Fire Reply #2 – June 05, 2022, 12:10:35 am I started watching the Beans while watching “The Endless Adventure” several weeks back. “Frank” looked like a fair entry level albeit old camper van. Not really sure how the fire started. Leaking propane? 12 volt short? What a shame. Glad they are ok. Sad about Frank. Kent 1 Likes

Re: A Recent Van Fire Reply #5 – June 05, 2022, 06:36:34 pm "Not really sure how the fire started. Leaking propane? 12 volt short?"Watching the volunteer with the hand held fire extinguisher it appeared to me the fire was in the vicinity of the catalytic converter, right under the coach door! I'm presuming that vintage of vehicle had one. After a long period of non-use perhaps it was plugged and the fire originated there. Just guessing! At least they are alive and can start over.
