Does fluid in a gas container provide a dampening effect on wash board road as opposed to a solid weight? Engineers?
I'm just a redneck fabricator, LOL.
Good to add more support points but determining the "somewhere else" keeps me from jigging up a fuel bracket...ntsqd said:My concern stems from the potential results of a mount failure. Not just the obvious possibility for fire, but also what such a failure could/would do the to the jack bracket's attachment to the camper.
Two bolts thru the jack bracket and one or two bolts somewhere else would be a LOT more robust solution than just a couple bolts thru the jack bracket.
Yeah, that IS the $64 question, isn't it? Looks like Craig has one good solution.Wallowa said:Good to add more support points but determining the "somewhere else" keeps me from jigging up a fuel bracket...

Haven't got it mounted yet, but I'll be using this shovel bracket on the back wall behind the door. They are available from Cascade Fire Equipment:doc said:Oh, and also contemplating ideas for mounting a shovel to the can? Has anyone done this?
Right now, I keep a shovel in the backseat, but for obvious reasons avoid using it. If it were outside, even to help put out a campfire at night would be less of a concern...
Those are the ones.... I spent 30 years at Marin County Fire. Got my first shovel bracket like that in 1986.craig333 said:We used something similar on the fire engines when I worked for CDF. I'd forgotten about those.
