This burned out motorhome was near Haines Jct still smoldering.
Hope these poor folks were heading home and got to enjoy some of their trip.

I wonder what Make and Model that was. The wheels seem to be Chevy 10 Bolt but the Steering Wheel looks kinda like a Ford!

I too hope that the Occupants got out safely!

Hopefully they are alive and not missing like those two seniors near Edson, Alberta.

Losing a home whether with or without wheels is devestating, indeed terrible.

Ok, here is the rest of the story (unverified):
A member of our caravan had some work done at a local RV shop and the mechanic at the shop said he saw this RV at the pull-out before it burned and stopped and offered to help. The owner of the RV said he was fed up with the @#$AA%# thing, he had already lost his boat when it came loose from the RV and then his motor had burned up so he was going to set fire to the whole thing, and I guess he did.

Yikes! Sounds like he snapped. I am so over our RV, but I think that Craigs List is more reasonable solution.
