Let $pi: E rightarrow M$ be a fiber bundle with fiber $F$. Then $pi$ is a proper map $iff F$ is compact.

Let $pi: E rightarrow M$ be a fiber bundle with fiber $F$. Then $pi$ is a proper map $iff F$ is compact.
I'm assuming everything is smooth. The "$implies$" direction is trivial but I'm struggling with the converse. I have already proved that $pi$ is an open quotient map and a smooth submersion in a previous part of the problem. I thought maybe the fact that $pi$ is an open map would be useful.
I take a compact subset $K subset M$ and look at an open cover ${U_{alpha}}_{alpha in A}$ and want to try to find a finite subcovering of that. I've tried looking at the images $V_{alpha}=pi(U_alpha)$ which are an open cover of $K$ and reducing to a finite subcover by compactness, but I can't figure out how to make this work. Obviously we need to use the assumptions on $F$ being compact so we probably need to bring in local trivializations somewhere.

Consider the family $mathcal F$ of the open subsets $Usubseteq M$ such that:
$overline U$ is homeomorphic to the closed unit ball;
there is some trivializing open set $V$ such that $Vsupseteq overline U$.
$mathcal F$ is a basis for the topology of $M$. Therefore, there is a finite cover of $K$ by elements of $mathcal F$. Now, $pi^{-1}[K]$ is a closed subset of $bigcup_{j=1}^m pi^{-1}left[overline U_jright]$. By definition there are homeomorphisms $chi_j$ defined on neighbourhoods of $pi^{-1}left[overline U_jright]$ that send $pi^{-1}left[overline U_jright]$ to the compact topological space $overline U_jtimes F$. Therefore, $pi^{-1}[K]$ is a closed subset of a finite union of compact sets, and thus compact.

Consider the family $mathcal F$ of the open subsets $Usubseteq M$ such that:
$overline U$ is homeomorphic to the closed unit ball;
there is some trivializing open set $V$ such that $Vsupseteq overline U$.
$mathcal F$ is a basis for the topology of $M$. Therefore, there is a finite cover of $K$ by elements of $mathcal F$. Now, $pi^{-1}[K]$ is a closed subset of $bigcup_{j=1}^m pi^{-1}left[overline U_jright]$. By definition there are homeomorphisms $chi_j$ defined on neighbourhoods of $pi^{-1}left[overline U_jright]$ that send $pi^{-1}left[overline U_jright]$ to the compact topological space $overline U_jtimes F$. Therefore, $pi^{-1}[K]$ is a closed subset of a finite union of compact sets, and thus compact.
