I have the AT Overland jerry can holder with their FWC corner bracket mount.  It has an additional bar that supports the bottom of the holder and bolts through the bottom of the camper overhang.  I think this also prevents repetitive flexing on rough roads to reduce the stress on the corner bracket.

I have been very happy with both the Wavian jerry can and the ATO holder.

Scott,

 

Could you please photo the "additional bar that supports the bottom of the holder through the bottom of the camper overhang"? I missed this at their website.

 

If I read that correctly there is a fastener going into the FWC and not just using the corner jack bracket.  I have studiously avoided puncturing the outer skin of the Hawk.

 

Thanks....Phil

 

Ps...Scott, never mind the photo, I went back and on the AT diagram it shows the bottom strap bolting up into the bottom of the overhang...non-starter for me...too paranoid about leaks in outer skin...

 

May re-think the less desirable [in my opinion] RotoPak and AT bracket for right rear jack bracket...only 2 gallons though, but less weight. [24 lbs with gas]

Mine has no penetrations through the skin. Bolted to the jack bracket and the two bars underneath. I've carried it full for years (probably don't need to) and absolutely no issues carrying the weight.

Thanks craig...but it seems to bolt up into the underside of the camper overhang...correct?

[craig333]

Yes. In my camper that goes into the cabinet below the sink. There is an additional L bracket behind the jack bracket that bolts to the can carrier.

I just ordered a Wavian jerry can and front load holder.

 

Thanks for all the reviews saying that's the one to get.

I think I solved my fuel issue for now; we have an '05 Tundra Access Cab, with back seats removed for more room and less weight. A 5.3 gallon Wavian can fits easily behind my passenger seat and is almost abutted to slight rise in back floor.  I will wedge one of our Rubbermaid containers we use up against the back side of can and front of can will be against the back of passenger seat.  I have researched the issue of fumes and it seems with a good gasket they are vapor proof.

 

Will do local test runs before our desert trip in April to verify if the can is vapor proof...

If you look at ramlinchet posts that’s the mount he used

I’m just stealing the idea

My Jeep's cans certainly aren't leak proof. Reminds me I need to order new gaskets. I'm kind of surprised the gas cops haven't pulled me over yet.

Make sure you strap that can down and other items that could fly around and hurt you.
