I literally have tears in my eyes looking at this just so thankful that you two are OK and the dogs are fine

[@marantz7783]

Say a prayer for them-- earlier post is correct--many rainbows ahead

[@grantmunroe8038]

Oh my gosh you guys....just so sorry for you both! How absolutely awful to have to go through all of that. You don't deserve to have something like this happen yo you. Glad there are so many beautiful loving caring people out there to offer assistance. Stay strong, sending much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

[@arbonneladyTN]

Sooo very very sorry!!!

[@TheChuckinSC]

So sad. But you two are thankful to have gotten out with your pets. Prayers that the weeks ahead will soften the blow as you begin to move ahead.

[@beckyelliott2871]

So glad to hear you are safe!

[@PineBaskets]

When i was a young child our house burned down, total loss. My mother of 8 children never ever complained about what we lost, the only thing she ever said was "thank God no one was hurt" imagine a mom of 8 having nothing...i realized years later that she taught me to value people not things. Its obvious you can see what really matters. Glad you are ok and come on down to florida its great here! Be safe

[@franciscallahan2529]

It doesn’t really apply to this situation because these aren’t people with a family and a home they’re just a couple of rich people with dogs sitting in an overpriced luxury trailer and eating avocado smeared on toast

[@womanwelldone]

I starting crying while listening. I hope you guys recover from this asap! Had a house fire in 2007 and everyone made it out alive. Will never forget it. Shout out to everyone who donated and helped. There’s still hope for humanity!

[@relaxingandstress-freesoun2443]

Wow! So glad you are both safe. Thankfully you acted quickly and made it out safely. I will be checking my detectors and buying another fire extinguisher. I love that they sent you a van and a big love to the rv community for helping you out.

[@susanhaug9772]

So proud of Newell Coach for sticking by one of their biggest supporters and fans, what a great company, no lie. Take care Steele family - "from the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success", God bless.

[@stansmith5610]

Well I mean it IS their brand and this channel has a lot of subscribers and this could potentially show how faulty their coaches can be... who knows it could also lead to a lawsuit

[@JohnSeitz]

@@stansmith5610 especially since I “assume” this was inspected thoroughly.

Well, I’m sure They wouldn’t do that for anybody without a 100k followers to be exposed to Their faulty coach almost killing a client and His family.

[@FEARNoMore]

It's called public relations & mitigating the damage to their reputation. lol

[@Nightbird.]

"So proud of Newell Coach for sticking by one of their biggest supporters and fans, what a great company, no lie." C'mon, Susan! You call a company who makes an RV that caught fire and could have killed this couple if they had been asleep in the back a "great company"?! You think them sending a van to help out will bring back everything this couple lost? If Newell has any moral compass and appreciates all the *millions* of dollars Andrew has brought them in free press they will replace this RV free of charge for him. But don't think for one minute they would send a van or do anything else for regular owners who don't have thousands of followers on KZbin and broadcast tragedies like this. I will NEVER purchase a Newell RV after seeing this..and am only thankful this couple survived this hell on wheels.

[@darrellmiller71]

My prayers to you and your lady let’s all rewatch Andrew’s videos and give him likes And hundreds of thousands of more views in his tryin times thanks for what you have done for the rv community. Now let’s wait for Andrew Steele 2.0 the reboot ! Happy you Shay and the dogs all are ok ✅

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

*Oh wow guys.. I'm so sorry to see this. So glad to hear you're okay*

[@HappyCamper1992]

Hey Josh this is a wonderful opportunity to do some fire safety training like what kind of extinguisher or suppression that’s right for the different kinds of units and the dual sensor detectors and simple things to check as regular maintenance. What do you think?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@HappyCamper1992 My best advisory when it comes to fire safety? Get away from the RV. That's something I feel strongly should be left to professionals. I feel fire extinguishers in RVs should be used just to help you and your family get out to safety. Then, steer clear.

[@HappyCamper1992]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I fully agree. My thoughts were more along the lines of preventative measures certain maintenance that the lack of can cause fires tire pressure and age issues maintenance of hubs and also the long debate of running propane while traveling. Just some thoughts. But yes once it starts you only have seconds to save your life.

[@cathymckay5915]

At least you are all safe including the 🐕 🐕.

[@Nightbird.]

@@HappyCamper1992 Great idea, Jay. And this fire also proves how life saving a rear exit is. Had this couple been asleep in the rear..they would have surely not survived the smoke inhalation alone. But I'm sure Andrew didn't purchase this RV without it being thoroughly inspected first. Surely he's learned the importance of that with all the RV veteran salespeople he's spoken too. And let's be honest. Lack of maintenance should give you issues with things working properly..and NOT with causing a fire that could have killed this couple. No excuse for this fire my friend except a design flaw that allowed it to happen. And Newell sending a van won't bring back everything they lost..and they only did that because Andrew has thousands of followers and broadcast the event. Regular people wouldn't get that kind of treatment. If Newell has any sense of moral compass and appreciates all the public relations and customers Andrew has brought them..they will replace this RV free of charge for Andrew. But I won't hold my breath on that..and certainly don't ever plan on purchasing a Newell RV after watching this. Take care!

[@TaylorEternal]

Omg… I am SO sorry, please update us. We are living out of our RV just sold our home and everything we own as well. While waiting for our new home to be built.

[@hamiam2243]

I for sure am checking my fire extinguishers before I go out again.😢

[@Nightbird.]

@@hamiam2243 Sadly..fire extinguishers won't help you if you are asleep in the rear with no rear exit. The smoke inhalation alone would kill you. Rear exits are crucial. Newell lost a customer in me after seeing this.

Full time RV’d for 8 years. So sad for you two but like you said it’s all material and can be replaced. Thank god you were quick thinking enough to get out and not try to fight it. Life knocks you down, it’s all about how you get up. I know with your platform you will use this to better us all on prevention of this sort of thing. Keep your chin up and breath deep. Sometimes life sucks but come out on the other side better for having been through it. I’ll definitely keep watching for your life updates. You had me at Newell.

[@overlandecuador8893]

I just bought a Class A last week. This video was helpful. Makes sense to always have a go bag when the RV is in motion near you so you can bail quickly. Hang in there buddy’s, this is definitely going to be a couple weeks of emotion to lose personal things but you will do well because of this. I used to be first in after catastrophe’s and it was heart wrenching but I was fortunate to witness the human spirit recover after the very worst. ‘New sub, hope it helps.

That’s so kind of you Brad. We all feel like they had a miraculous escape from injury or worse. I’m guessing that what they need is somewhere to stay safe and the funds to replace their valuables. I can’t seem to find their Just Giving site from the United Kingdom. Everyone should review their own situation with regards to escaping from a raging fire and have the necessary equipment to do this urgently. I’m sure we’ll speak soon 💫

[@lynncanatella9711]

@@lorrieleaver2447 Are you aware that they or he had insurance and it will play to replace all of his physical possessions? And in this video he says the go fund me that has collected over $123,000 will go to Shea to replace her possessions. Collectively all of their possessions according to them were in the RV. It does not appear that they are married therefore her possessions probably won’t be covered, but his definitely will be. It would be very hard for one person‘s possessions to equal $123,000 +. The RV dealership sent them a sprinter van immediately. Other than being scared out of their minds they are fine. Meanwhile there are people all over the world that have actual no food and actual no home…. And he has a rental house in Florida. Maybe be sympathetic for what they went through but dollars could go to more needy people at this point, in my opinion.

[@2pilgrims672]

Ok folks here is a picture for you. We had a 1989 newell coach that had an engine fire in Oneonta New York. Was totaled on the spot. We spent a week in a motel trying to figure out what to do as we were and still are fulltime rivers and all we owned was on wheels. I called Newell and let them know and to see if they could possibly repair it. They said they won't touch anything with a salvage title. Then at a later time I received a mistaken call from Newell owner Carl Blade as he thought he was calling someone else. He did offer his condolences and I told him how well the engine compartment held up. That was it, no offer to assist in any way and as a few others knew of this, no go fund me help. So in the long run we needed a coach with solar panels and found one in Mesa coincidently shown on you tube by Andrew Steel. We bought it because winter was coming back in NY and we had to get bac and pick up our hallmark trailer and saved belongings. Thus 03 Monaco Diplomat has been nothing but a money pit, lots of stuff that was not pointed out that should have been. Soo.... Why do you suppose Newell stepped up and helped out Andrew and not us. Does this mean that everyone that buys a newell will get the same treatment as Andrew in the event of such a catastrophe? Or is this special treatment because of the advertising that Andrew does for Newell????. What do you think?

[@carlasmith2105]

So sorry you're going through this. You're going to be fine. You'll find that you have a "pre-fire" and a "post-fire" memories. You'll find that you want to find something and you have to think "was this in the fire?" We had just sold our store and had some cash that was in a desk. We were able to save the desk and the money. We had only the clothes on our back also so I know the feeling....no clean clothes, no tooth brush, no shampoo....all the things that you never think about until they are gone! When we went shopping to get some clothes my husband opened his wallet and the salesman asked if we had bar-b-q-ed our money. The smoke smell was incredible. The things that you save will have a lingering smoke smell for 20 years. But the good thing is you have each other and you dust your pants off, get up and go again. You're young and strong and have a whole lot of memories ahead to make. Bless you and stay strong!

So sorry this has happened to you guys. Sending love, hugs and prayers. I know you’ll both stay positive and will continue on to all the good things that lie ahead for you ❤️

Tears of sadness for you both, glad to know you guys and the dogs are ok. Your positive outlook and thankfulness you both shared even in the darkest of times is incredible. I know you may not see it now but you both WILL come out of this horrible event even better than you are today.

I’m so sorry this happened but so glad you and your dogs are ok. I am a boater on the upper Chesapeake Bay in MD. There were two boat fires this past summer where we boat. Those boats were total losses. Now when we go out, I pack a ditch bag for wallets, cell phones, shoes, clothes, car keys, etc just in case. The folks on the boats that burned were safe but lost everything on the boats. It can happen in minutes. God bless!

So glad y'all are OK. And I feel you pain, I do because it happened to us in Colorado June 2021. We were pulling a Jayco white Hawk TT. I noticed flames coming out of the side while driving. Used a large fire extinguisher from the truck with no luck. Total loss. Just the close on our backs. Your emotions will be off the chart for a while. Payers to y'all.

Oh man, this is terrible! Glad y'all escaped without injury. I've had a van catch fire and it was a total loss. I always worry if my RV would catch fire. They tend to burn quickly. If it can happen to a high end Newell, it can happy to anything.

Glad to know you both and the dogs made it out safe! Be blessed and the journey will be great and have plenty of stories to tell. Be safe and again you two are Blessed.

Prayers for you both so happy you both were able to get out in time. Thank God there was a place to pull over so quickly. We live full time in our coach so I just can’t imagine. 🙏🏻❤️

Andrew, I've been enjoying so many of your videos recently and find myself often fantasizing about owning a motor coach and hitting the road. Even before discovering your channel I would go online and look at videos of motor coaches and motor coach resorts. I had just run across your video of you and Shay and this coach you personally owned just yesterday. When I saw the thumbnail of your coach on fire today it was like a punch in the gut. I'm so sorry that this happened to you and Shay but glad you're both safe and that your dogs are OK. How great that the community rallied around you! Glad to see this hasn't deterred you from creating all the great content on your channel. Sending best wishes! Ron😊
