Here is the link to Mac The Fire Guy's article on RV Fire Prevention. He does a very good job explaining all types of fire extinguishers.
Mac The Fire Guy For the person who posted using Halon devices you should read the article on why Halon is not a good choice for outside use. I knew that Halon replaces the oxygen in the area and there fore the fire dies. That means the Halon would be working against all the oxygen outside instead of oxygen in a confined area. What I didn't know was all the poisonous gases Halon produces in a fire! Wow!
My family was in the business of fire extinquishers and I know that the extinquishers in RV's today are really only good for a small fire or to get you out of an RV. The ones with a plastic head we would not ever refill.
I have the small one in my new RV but I also carry two 10 pound ABC ones as well that are strategically placed in the RV. The other thing is I get them checked yearly by an expert. After a period of time these extinquishers need to be discharged and the tanks tested much like recertification of a propane tank. I have been gone from this so long I do not remember what the time period is.
I advise reading the article as he covers all extinuisher types including the new ones and has advice on which to use.
When your ready to purchase Google a fire extinuisher service company that not only sells but also services them as well and get them checked yearly.
