That was my first thought as well, but I turned it into a Woody Allen movie scene of sorts ...... I'll likely mount my 2nd, very large extinguisher there. Excellent spot, quick access, no excuse to head to the back of the van to "check things out" without the extinguisher in hand, and it's about as far away from the most frequent vanagon fire source as you can get and still be inside the van. My plan has been to cut off the draft/oxygen-air source by spraying up under/behind the rear wheels, into the engine bay bottom. Keeping my eyes crossed however .... bob
