How is a roasted Eagle supposed to smell? Mine sure smells horrible had a fire at 1:30 AM this morning. I was awakened by a neighbor knocking on the front door of our house and she was screaming your Bus is on fire, your Bus is on fire. Sure enough when I got to the back door of the house I could see the flames coming out the roof. It sure doesn't smell like a roasted Turkey does on Thanksgiving. Will get some pictures later today.

Amen yall made it out alive. Prayers to you and your family eagle. Any idea what caused it?
Thanks Mike for the prayers. We weren't in the Bus it was parked in the rear of our S.S. home. Have to wait for the Fire Marshall's report as to the cause. It could have been caused by a number of things even mice.
Sorry to hear that Sir and glad no one was injured.
CRAP! >:( First thoughts. hope you move forward. looking for a bright side here--no one was hurt --that's the upside. Bob
This is sad, glad no one was injured! :'(
Please report back when you find the cause.

I sorry to hear of your misfortune. Can I ask? What is a S.S home?
BCO
That is terrible. I can relate to your situation since we lost a bus and barn to a lightning fire. If I can provide a discussion on my insurance company learnings, please call. 8 one 0 - five one six- nine eight 8 eight
Others. Seriously consider agreed upon value insurance. That will minimize being taken advantage of.

Glad to hear you are O.K. Is your bus fixable?
BCO: S & S house is a "stick and staple" house, in other words, a mobile home (large trailer).
Wow JC you are just not having any luck sorry to hear that

Cliff I am having more luck than I need but it has all been bad lately. You think I could come out to Mohave and be a desert rat?
My sympathies. I am so sorry to hear this. And damage to your (non-moving) home?
Well that sucks... Kind of goes along with the saying "If I didnt have bad luck I wouldnt have any at all"
Hope your insurance treats you well.

Most of the time I get it ... No. I really do. But every now and then, they throw in some kind of abbreviation and then I am confused and lost. Thanks, I was thinking "southside of the house" (a regular house that is).
BCO
Oh man, sorry to hear about the bus. Let us know what caused it.
SO sorry, just recently had a behind the dash fire in my 1970 Oldsmobile I have owned since I was 16 in 1972, lucky I got the fire out quick.

Here are some pics JC sent me to post.

not to be flip but it looks a hell of a lot better than mine.... it looks like it is repairable, did they find the p.o.i? did it do anything to the outside of the bus? best thing is you guys are a-ok it could of been worse. remember poor mcguyver? he lost the whole house and most of his animals. good luck!!
While that appears repairable would the insurance company really repair it or just total it out? I guess it depends on how the vehicle is insured. If it is insured based on today's market value unfortunately they would probably total it out.
I could see professional repairs costing a lot as it appears the back half needs to be gutted and smoke remediation done.
