Fire Extinguishers

[Lancie49]

What do the majority of builders do with regard to fire extinguishers ?
I'm about to start the interior fit out of my TD and obviously want some form of fire protection.
I can't really see a need for an extinguishers in the cabin itself, but I will be fitting one in the kitchen area.

I will also be installing a photoelectric smoke alarm and a fire blanket and always while camped will have a full water bucket at the hitch.

Where have you installed your extinguisher ?

Ours is back in the galley and there is a smoke detector in the cabin and a gas detector back in the galley. There is a thread concerning this on the iRV2 forum, some one who lost their behemoth motor which started in the battery compartment.This evidently a result of factory wiring problems (bare wire hit metal frame). We do not have camp fires so that is not a concern but certainly I see with regularity fires left to smolder (It was so bad at Chain O Lakes you could see the inversion layer and I had serious asthma problems).

I carry one in my trailer and both vehicle never know when they will come in handy for you or someone else. Part of my road protection kits.

I carry one in my tow vehicle.
Most likely cause of fire in a trailer is overheated wheel bearings, no good if its in trailer.
When delivering a trailer to a customer, I always point out the tiny fire extinguisher, and say see that, theres propane on this trailer, that ain't doing squat....If you have fire.....RUN
