I am probably a fool at worst or short sighted at best but I only carry three extinguishers - all of which are in the coach at front, mid and rear. My only purpose in doing so is to evacuate safely.
If it’s on fire and everyone is outside, I have no intention of getting involved other than calling the fire dept and my insurance agent. Once the people and pets are out there’s nothing in the RV that can’t be replaced.

I agree with you, once everyone is safe, the RV can roast.

However, the outside fire extinguisher on my RV is for an accidental fire outside the RV or to help another motorist.

Last year in Dallas we passed a fellow towing a trailer that started on fire.
He was on the side of the road trying to beat it down with a blanket...
Needless to say, he was just fanning the flames....
It was his work trailer filled with tools. Replaceable, yes, weeks/months with out tools is lost wages...
 
Great point
 
As a young Trooper I probably deployed my fire extinguisher every month or so. Arrive to the scene and it didn't much matter if something was just smoking or had flames shooting up 20 feet in the air, I was going to drag that bug sucker out of my trunk and blast away. I soon sound out that anything much larger than a garbage can size fire was hard to control with a fire extinguisher, and anything on or in a motorized vehicle can be really hard to control.
 
Labels received, now the challenge of installation. I need the installation to look OEM. Way over thinking this...:)
