Jenny Doman and her family stood beside a highway exit ramp watching helplessly as bright orange flames engulfed their brand-new RV.
The fire quickly transformed their dreams of a carefree life in their new home-away-from-home to a nightmare.
The Oregon family had purchased the 40-foot-long Heartland Road Warrior, a fifth-wheel trailer and "toy hauler" made by a subsidiary of Indiana-based Thor Industries, just one day earlier. The price tag was more than $100,000.
Excited to enjoy the new luxury RV, they hit the road for a trip to visit family in Utah, their RV in tow.
But they only made it to Montana before the fire broke out near the rolling trailer's electrical panel.

'There goes our fifth wheel, toy hauler, everything in it... I think I'm gonna throw up,' said Jenny Doman, whose RV burned a day after she bought it.
