Hi - for the past 3 weeks my cousin and I had been touring Ireland and Scotland. We were on our return journey to Devon on 10 July and were on the M6 near Birmingham when smoke started to come out from under the driver's seat. Fortunately we were close to
a service area and got out. The smoke increased and then flames came out of the fuse box under the driver's seat. The application of 2 fire extinguishers put out the flames and we are grateful for the help of a fellow motorhomer who used his fire extinguisher
- I did not get his name but if he reads this could he let me know how I can replace his extinguisher. We called the RAC and were recovered home. Van in garage so damaged can be assessed.

There is a battery charger under the driver's seat that may be the cause of the fire but will await views of the garage.

Has anyone else had a similar problem with their Ducato based motorhome?
