Went to see the motorhome today for insurance photos and to see if we could
salvage any of the items inside.

I did not get very far on trying to see if I can salvage anything because it wasn't safe to be inside and I'd have to pull everything out in order to see what if anything is worth saving. And then put everything back in because it is at a temporary facility.

I'll just provide one example of how bad it was. This is a 38' motorhome. About 2/3 of the way back we had a clothes washer/dryer combo. It could not be seen by me above the bed frames stacked in front of it (about 3.5' tall). The unit was about an inch from the ceiling in height. It has apparently completely melted.

Think about that for a second...a mostly metal appliance whose purpose is to utilize fire to heat air to dry clothes got so hot that it melted.

Some of the stuff in the back 1/3 was packed so tight that it prevented air flow so it likely did not all burn much but from what I was able to see everything looked singed and had soot on their edges...
