Fire suppression balls?

Click on one darned "Motorhome Fire" video on YouTube and you're inundated with videos of RVs going ablaze.

Has anyone put a couple of the Fire Suppression Balls in their RV? Like these, as an example: https://www.elidefireus.com/

I'm thinking I'd put one in the "Jayco's Specialized Rats Nest of Electrical Wiring Under your Bed" area. Especially since their loose wiring caused my ATS to burn up. And then a second one in the RV fridge access panel.

I'm looking for some folks with hands-on experience with these products.
Thank you!

As a retired fire chief, these are nothing more than a "feel good" additive. I would rather rely on good preventive maintenance, early detection and UL listed suppression devices should they be needed.
