for engine fires the best place for a = fire extinguisher is behind the driver's seat... that way you can grab it on = the way to the rear.... having to go to the slider door first will waste = precious seconds...

Subject: Fire Extinguisher = locations in a Westy

To protect my investment I bought = a nice big 7 lb Halon 1211 Fire = Extinguisher which currently resides lying down in bottom of the cubord under the = sink to the right of the fridge. I have a bracket for it but I can't decide = where to mount it. I could put it beside the sliding doors where the = existing extinguisher is (which means I need a new place for the mini - Halon extinguishers cost a LOT to recharge). Also, I thought about = carring a porta-potty which I'd probably locate behind the passenger seat so the = exinguisher might be in the way there. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
