Jerry can bracket on jack mount

[DarinH]

If anyone has done a home made fuel can holder that mounts to a camper jack bracket, I'd love to see some pics of it. Or, if anyone sells them.

You can mount all sorts of stuff to one of these including a jerry can holder.

Clever universal attachment plate...that doesn't seem to cover right rear window of a Hawk...

That's pretty slick. Any other pix showing attachments? Could not find any on their website.

Not homemade but you can see how its mounted. To the jack bracket and also to the camper (in my case it bolts under the sink).

I'll try to remember to post some when I mount mine to our camper. Camper install is date 6/7.

anyone modify the AT one so that you can use a water jug with spout at bottom?

I use the plastic blue wavian water cans with removable spout and they fit in this guy. The spout is unobstructed.

And how did you mount it to the camper?

I mounted a rotopax fuel can off my camper jack mounts.

That looks like a good one, but the only thing that kept me from buying it is all the pre-drilled holes that I don't need. I came up with a design that I'm having made at a metal fab shop. I'll post pics when I get it back.

Hey all those holes come free with the bracket! And they lighten the weight....

What is the issue with having so many holes?

 

[DarinH]

Mainly because there aren't any pre-drilled for the Smitty Bilt holder that I already bought, and some of the existing holes might interfere with the new holes I'd have to drill. It would be a $70 + gamble I'm not willing to make.

Got it...that makes sense...never thought of that...thanks.

I will have it mounted to the Mule bracket in my previous reply. Camper install in 2 weeks

How does this interfere, if at all, with the door opening and the existing latch?

Looks like the door opens the other direction...

I have the same AT can holder on my 2016 Grandby mounted in much the same way. The door on it opens to the left so my can holder is mounted on the right side of the door. The real weight of the can is supported underneath by two pieces of 3/16" aluminum U channel that are cantalevered out from underneath my propane tanks.

 

[craig333]

Yeah, no interference to the door.

Drawing from many of the brackets ya'll have posted here, I made a bracket to attach to the jack bracket with a Smitty Bilt jerry can holder.

I welded a piece of 1/8" thick sheet metal to a strip of C-channel steel (to use as a spacer to clear the bolt heads on the jack bracket), had it powder coated, bolted the Smitty Bilt holder to that, and bolted it on to the camper jack bracket. I haven't trail tested it yet, but I think she'll hold.

(EDIT - I tried to attach 6 photos to this post, but for some reason it's not working)
