While RV was parked for approximately10 hours along the beach in Newfoundland, Canada RV caught fire and burned to the ground. We were asleep, when we were awakened by a popping sound. When we opened our eyes, the RV was already filled with smoke. We did not hear the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide go off. We escaped at the nick of time. I knocked on the van of a neighboring boondocker for help. She called the fire department. But when the fire truck arrived, the RV was already engulfed in flames. We went to bed almost at 12 midnight, the fire happened at approximately 1:30-2AM. There were no indications of problems before we went to bed. May 2022, 2 repairs under warranty were done in California. 1)the Truma was not working properly; 2) the chassis alternator was not charging the AGM battery. My boyfriend suffered burns on his hands, neck and lips and eyelashes. He said he saw flames coming out from under our bed. We were stranded in Canada for 4 days. We lost everything: money, telephone, credit cards and passport.
