Looking at doing a few long trips where we will need to pack fuel. Has anyone found a good way to mount a rotopax? Or preferably something more inexpensive?

I haven't tried it yet, but I thought about screwing the rotopax mount to the side of my yeti and putting it there.

Yes!
I'd settle for a regular gas can That fitz well behind the rear seat. Rarely would I ride distances that require a refuel. But at the Takeover, I might.
Just hoping not to have $100 in a gas can and mount.
So I'll be checking this thread out.

I measured behind the seat and it's 4" at top and 8" at bottom. Limits to either 2 or 4 gallon rotopax. I haven't been able to find anything smaller anywhere.

I have this aluminum box inbuilt in the back almost all the time. So using the behind the seat box space isn't an option. A rotopax would work. Just have a hard time shelling out a few hundred bucks for a gas can

Well. This is what I came up with. Was having some sodas in the garage and saw the gas can from my sleds. So I built some brackets to mount them to the cage. 9f4a9d70c8478001d46c884b6d6064f00ef26d4a5317dcc828786b52f1d7b33aD5a6a3db2c438eda88c63ac09a4d7810
