Pat:

I was talking about specific potential heat-producing and/or electrical manufacturers, not wiper blades. Come on, you know better. Was the fire caused by a refrigerator, furnace, microwave, stove, water heater, converter/inverter, shore power transfer switch, wiring connections, wiring outlets, improper installation clearances, improper owner maintenance, improper propane supply pressures, improper water drainage hose routing, intentional tampering by a party, etc.? All of these potentials are generally in a 5 foot to 7 foot radius of a RV Galley and all need to be given the opportunity to be present.

The problem again is the word "any", which can be interpreted to read several different ways. Some may read that as a way to identify a single specific potential party, while others read "any" to mean All-Inclusive identification (one/some/all) of all potential parties in the case. Merriam-Websters Online defines "any" to be:
