Sure, that's in the passenger cabin, so it would be a lot better than down
there by the tail light, where water can come down the air intake channel. 
  My first preference is under the back seat.  If it's not convenient to do
that, just where you say would be my next preference.  As long as it's
inside the passenger area, where things are driest and the most temperature
stable.

What about under the rear storage cabinet (assuming a Westy). I've seen
several Subaru conversions where the ECU was located there, and it's right
above the stock VW location.   Jeff
