| Description of the problem | This travel trailer caught fire in our driveway and burnt. No appliances were on. There have been 3 fire investigators that have search for the cause and haven't been able to identify how or why it burnt. We owned the tt for around 550 days, it was in the repair shop for around 150 days and we used it for 30 days. Because the investigators could not identify the absolute cause of the fire, the manufacturer claims that they are not at fault. Trailers do not spontaneously combust unless there is a defect in the materials or workmanship. |
