Saturday Oct 11, 08 while I was a sleep in my 2001 Keystone Sprinter a electrical fire started. Not sure exact location at this time. They have not tore it apart yet. However it started to the left and the back of the Refr. The recall on the refr was repaired and the RV tech said it wasn't the cause. I just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem.

Sorry about the fire. When they tear it down and find the cause, let us know what it was. No problems with my Springdale so far after 5 years. Knock on wood.

I don't know the cause of your fire but my folks MH caught fire while we were using it years ago. It was caused by a propane leak. A nail used to fasten an escutcheon, where the propane line entered the MH, rubbed against the copper tubing and eventually ruptured. The wife was preparing a meal at the time with my daughter and her friend in the overhead bunk. The propane eventually got to an ignition source by the stove and poof. Fortunately no one was hurt and damage was mostly superficial. I'd say look for a propane leak. It wouldn't necessarily have to be close to where the fire started.
