IIRC, on vanagon.com there's a list of *what* people keep in their
bus. Maybe info on where too?

Were chains too close to the ECU? Can't imagine mechanic was concerned

I put stuff wherever I want to.    ;)   Seriously, it's common sense
and what fits ones needs.

The wetwesty list will have suggestions.

Speaking of space, IMO, 2 significant improvements to accessing space.
Rear table mod, and rear closet mod. Here's one take on the closet
mod:

not for the faint of heart. There are other ways to improve access to
the rear cupboard.

My rear table mod. NOT what others do but is similar. I've found it
useful: https://picasaweb.google.com/musomuso/WestyFixes#
