That is indeed a sobering set of photographs... It would have been good to see the elapsed time printed on each photograph, so we'd get a clearer idea of how long the process went for. My understanding is that you get about 4 minutes before a van is engulfed, but that may be way out of whack. Good post! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Noticed in the comments below the photographs that one of the posters talked about auto resetting circuit breakers being the "biggest cause" of caravan fires (...how would they know that??). cheers, Al.

I am not trying to hijack this thread but Al brought up an interesting point about circuit breakers. I too don't know about auto reset circuit breakers being the biggest cause of electrical fires in caravans but I will not use them as I feel they negate the purpose of completely cutting off power when there is a short circuit.(auto reset type reconnect the circuit as soon as they cool down then open again when they heat up again due to a short etc.) I have used several circuit breakers in my van and all are of the manual re-set type so if a short occurs then that circuit is disconnected until repaired.
