Fire Extinguisher

[Moya]

Hi Ant,

At long last took delivery of our new R20 Hi with toilet option. Is there any good place you can recommend to fix a 1kg fire extinguisher?

When we had our Hi lo we used to stand it in the cupboard under the sink.

Hi Moya.
It's not easy with the toilet option to find a place for a fire extinguisher. Ideally it wants to be to hand as you're leaving the van! ( so cab area not ideal) It also doesn't want to be mounted or stored high up in case it comes loose in an accident and hits you from behind. Somewhere in the well would be a safe place but may get in the way of feet and or loo door opening. I have seen them tucked into the front edge of the well lying on their sides, just velcro'd on to avoid brackets that might snag on things.

We have mounted ours next to the electric switch. It sits quite neatly by the step, however you do have to remember its there when 'in and outing'! We are getting used to it now, but it sometimes still gets a kick! Should have thought of the velcro option instead of bracket as one screw is beginning to protest! (it has been there quite a while!)

Thanks for that Ant.

The velcro option might be a good idea.
