I'm so sorry you had a loss like that. I hope the insurance company comes forward and replaces, at least monetarily, the unit for you. I know you can't replace the pix and memories from it. I'm VERY glad you were not in it at the time of the fire!

I'm also glad and I bet your neighbors are as well that your propane tanks didn't explode!

It certainly looks like the fire was burning longest in the area close to the fridge as that is the portion of the trailer with the most destruction. I would have expected a fire due to a short in the converter to burn the door area more than the appliance side. I recall from a fire safety RV seminar that most RV fires are the result of a 12 volt electrical problem rather than a 120 volt issue.

Did you have the water heater on propane or electric at the time? On the RE3 the water heater is very close to the fridge area. I'm assuming you had the unit on shore power and the fridge on AC rather than propane.
