Looks like Rotopax has a sale on this 2 1/2 gal container. Comes with a free mount

You can also get a stacking mount to have two cans on on onw, but I don't know how solid the mounting surface needs to be for that weight. It's a good question for Marty.
Jackie, thanks for the heads up on the sale...

I have two AT can holders on the back of my Panther. I use them for either gasoline or water depending on my needs. I like them because of the 5 gallon capacity. They also come in quite handy as temporary storage shelves, towel rack, etc..for miscellaneous items (such as adult beverages) when empty.
I suppose it's, six to one, half dozen to another.

Happy with my AT holder. Someday might add a second to the other side but then have to bungee the door so until I feel like I really need it there's no reason to.

I have two rotopax 3 gallon gas cans mounted under my flatbed, and I am not all the impressed with them. They are not a very efficient way of storing fuel/water, a 5 gallon jerry can carry's more fuel per volume. Secondly, if you fill the rotopax when it is cool, and snug down the mounts, if you go to use one when it is hot the rotopax will have expanded and can be impossible to remove from the mount without a tool - which you either have to carry or improvise. Finally the locking mount they sell is junk. I have had mine on my truck for less than a year and it is already corroded to the point that it barely works, even in relatively corrosion free colorado. Unfortunately the rotopax are the only thing that fits in the space I have, otherwise I would change to a regular jerry can.

why is there no RotPax for diesel on sale? I would like to add at least 5 gal... just in case.

I have a handyman/shovel combination on the right side but can get the four wheel adapter drilled for the holder on the left side. Speaking about the AT gas can holders-I noted on their web site that they were out of the 5 gallon gas cans because of the recent disasters until mid-November. Does any one know if any other military/carb compliant gas cans will fit in the AT holder? Hate to buy a holder that I can not get any gas cans for it.

I ordered this one from the good folks at Amazon at the time it was cheaper than what AT was selling them for.
