Raywood said:Very sad. If as reported there was an explosion it sounds like a gas leak, but I may be wrong.
I notice the report says a caravan when in fact it is a camper van.
Damian-Moderator said:I fail to see why the type of vehicle is such an issue.
It is quite clear from the photograph just what it is.
What someone cares to call it is not relevant.
It could be called any number of things including: Motor Caravan, Motorhome, Recreational Vehicle, Campervan, Motorised Caravan etc etc etc .
The point is that it is no more due to some catastrophic issue and that should bring to the forefront of peoples minds the need to ensure your unit is safe.
Dustydog said:Never mind what you call it. There is common ground with us caravanners.
Forget the cause. It doesn’t matter.
What does matter and I suspect was the reason Damian posted in the first place is the rapidity a fire in a caravan type vehicle takes hold.
There is only one absolute answer.
Don’t delay, get out before you die!!
