Fire extinguishers ARE NOT expensive unless you buy them from the
dealership.  I brought a direct replacement fire extinguisher from Home
Depot for my 85 Westy for $9.99 + tax.  It even had the same mounting strap
as the original.  I think the brand name was "Kiddie"  For 10 bucks no
vanagon owner should be without one.

My 2 cents worth.
