Pretty much looks like a clear cut case of arson

No doubt they will be checking for a friction fire. You know, when the payment rubs too hard on the due date.

This loss brings up some insurance questions.
What if you were one of the people who reduce their insurance coverages while their RV is in storage to same some money? Some people have said that all they need over the winter is comprehensive coverage to protect their RV from something like a fire.
Did they also drop their liability coverage to save some money? What if the cause of the fire is not determined to be arson? Instead it is determined that your RV started the fire? Perhaps an electrical short, refrigerator fire, etc. Would you be liable for all of the other losses on the other RVs?
Are your liability limits adequate to cover a large loss? People have posted their liability limits and $100,000/300,000 Bodily Injury and $50,000 Property Damage. Looking at the pictures $50,000 PD coverage would probably not cover even one of the several Class A diesel pusher motorhomes destroyed if it was determined your RV started the fire.

Mine CANNOT start a fire when parked for the winter. All electricity is disconnected (batteries out), propane is turned off.

That's amazing that you can tell that from reading five lines of text and looking at a 30 second video. Most fire investigators need hundreds of hours of training and hours of work at a fire scene to determine cause and origin of a fire. :/

Wow, that's about five miles from our house and I looked at storing there last summer! Glad nobody was hurt and look forward to the suspected cause.

That is terrible news. Let's blame it on "Norcold Refers" .
