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?
