Quoting David B:

>> By driving a Westfalia with camping gear in it you've already accepted a risk which I strongly suspect is at least one order of magnitude greater. <<

   Which is, I presume,one reason that there was a fire extinguisher
provided in our Westies that wasn't present in passenger vans.

  Speaking of fire extinguishers how many of us are driving around
with that puny OE fire extinguisher that's at least 18 years old or
older?

  Not me.
