What are the weakest spots catching fire on class A?

[CountryFit]

thank you all again. there are a lot of good info i am absorbing... i do see the benefit of temp alarm system, along side of video. i will measure the actual temp inside engine bay in a normal driving condition so to decide the mounting place of a camera. with over 30+ years experience in info tech i think i can set up a reliable system for this purpose.

the video system i bought has a built-in function to record all or selected channels. it keeps recording and recycling the memory space until i stop it. i might record engine, fridge and front for analysis should an incident occurs.

Might consider the generator. If running it in the summer to keep coach cool you are setting right on top of that fire hazard. ?

thanks this is a good reminder. i noticed my generator is in an enclosed compartment. i will search reports on genset fire. if need be i can move the last camera to there (i have a separate dashcam i can use).

by the way, there is a blog on rv fire generating 400 comments, worth reading http://blog.rv.net/2011/04/rv-fire-safety/.

Let's not forget to get those cameras focused on those pesky brakes. One down hill trip and it could go whoosh and up in flames !!

Yep brakes been known to catch on downhill trips out west!!

Another thing that no one has considered is an half empty fuel tank! Those fumes are just a bomb waiting to explode from any tiny spark that could engulf the entire Motorhome !! :-(

Now we up to 6 cameras!!!! This could get expensive.

[Chuck 1935]

Whoa, not so fast with the 6 cameras.
As we sit upon our TETFORD doing our morning constitutional, have you considered the METHANE BOMB you are sitting atop of. Especially you smokers out there. Just one misplaced ash and you could be checking you roof antennas .
Challenger, do you know of a place that sells methane detectors that could be wired into the 6 Camera configuration ?

[ChallengerRN]

I'm still trying to get past that misplaced ash!!!!

[Chuck 1935]

Ouch !! :-(

I understand you were probably just joking around here. But since so many people with different backgrounds read these threads I thought I should clarify. A spark cannot ignite diesel fumes. That's why diesels don't have spark plugs. And why many people prefer diesel generators of gasoline.

making sense... i googled websites, those gensets getting fire primarily were using propane or gas. the diesel ones have not had the fire issues. probably i can have less concerns...

i have planned to have a camera under the chassis, pointing toward rear, which will catch the brake or uninflated dullies. that is covered
