Default Why Motorcoaches May Burn

Fire is always a concern in any motorhome and we sometimes take our Newell's for granted. Lately there have been several fires involving Blue Bird Wanderlodge's so there has been a lot of interest in fire causes. To add to the knowledge base, you might read this article http://www.cvsa.org/publications/gua...supplement.pdf
written by Christopher Ferrone, President of Americoach Systems, Inc. The systems he discusses are applicable to many large motorcoach/buses.

It is an interesting read.

Hey Michael...each time I click on the link I get an error message and Internet Explorer shuts down shortly after the .pdf document comes up.

It is a pdf file so it should open up a window to download the file. If you are running IE8 upgraded from IE7, that could be an issue. IE8 has NEVER worked properly for me since the upgrade. I run Firefox almost exclusively now. The link works great for me in Firefox.

Try right clicking on the link and selecting (save as), save file to your desktop or your download folder. Once the file is downloaded you will be able to click on the file and adobe will open it. That's how I was able to view it.
