Thank you kmacafee for introducing me to this product.

OK, I have been thinking for months about how to mount my four MAXTRAX in a secure location while still being able to retrieve them quickly. The roof was a consideration although most all of the area will be occupied by solar panels and even more weight on top of a pop-up is not a good thing. In the future there should be a rear swing-away tire carrier module for my AEV rear bumper but it may not provide for securely mounting MAXTRAX.

Here is the Trax-Clamp manufactured by Quick Pitch in South Africa:

This will bolt on to the side of my FWC and will accept all four MAXTRAX

Here is the lever which captures two or four MAXTRAX and can also be locked

Pop the lever open and seconds later MAXTRAX are available to use - no ratchet straps, bolts, etc.

No worries. I just came off White Rim Trail in Canyonlands and while I never needed them, it was nice to know they were accessible.

Wow.  A mile long tunnel is impressive for both the engineers and the mules.

Nice.

 

 

 

But, when I get something like this I think 'I paid too much'.

thx. i bought a propex propane heater last year, and had a heck of a time sourcing 'thru hull's.  probably due to that i did not know that was what they are called.  am now finding some, but they all seem to be completely open, and i wonder how they are supposed to keep little bugs/critters from getting into the 1" opening, and building nests, etc.  am not finding any so far with any type of screen, mesh.

go
