Friend of mine has got me a 2 kg Fire Extinguisher - very nice.

Where's the best place to put it? in some cases I think if i bolt it to the wall i'm going to rip half the wall off if I have to use it!

Dont bolt it on, handy to get at but looks a mess.

I carry 2, one in the car and on in the caravan. The caravan one is mounted discreetly behind the sliding door at the rear. It can be accessed always.

On our old van we had it mounted  adjacent to the door.

New van. new extinguisher, and Mrs scarletsfan will not allow a surface mounting anywhere!!

It does come with a mount, but the whole lot is heavy!

think I will leave it loose by the door, then i could move it around if needed.

I've actually seen one attached to the outside frame of a caravan with a luggage strap.  Owner says he does that when he arrives at site as part of set-up.  Reason ?

Most of the time a fire will need to be extinguished because you never noticed something, ususally because you're sat outside.  Secondly it means if he's not around someone else might be able to do something if they spot a fire.
