Please note, we suffered a fire in our first Motorhome, in 2005 - our parrot and two dogs were in the RV, and we had gone off to a concert, the concert wasn't keeping us interested, we decided to leave early - upon returning to the RV Park, we noticed the awefully darkened windows, when my husband opened the door, there was a fire inside, he went in- got out the dogs and the bird, grabbed the curtains and tossed them outside, along with the power cord which also had a surge protector on it, it was a very expensive cord, however it failed. The surge protector was what the insurance investigators told us started the fire, apparently it smoldered for quite some time, before it caught the curtains on fire.
Our dogs and bird survived and we had an aweful lot of smoke damage, so PLEASE do not trust those surge protectors, unplug your appliances, etc, when you are not in the area.
