Title: Storage containers instead of water / fuel Jerry cans
Post by: Apples69 on August 03, 2013, 05:51:09 PM

Hi all

Just after a bit of advice and feedback

Just wondering if anyone has come across lockable containers that can be placed into the jerry can holders to give extra storage when extra water / fuel is not required.

This will give a bit more storage on the camper trailer as I can lock them down

Thanks

I have found these examples in my travels. From memory a swagger cut up a plastic jerry can and added a hinge...

A few of us have made containers/bins by cutting up jerry cans.

Here's my effort...

You're' not wrong, 10X the price of a normal jerry, I wonder how sales are going.

Resurrecting this thread because I'm after something similar so thought I'd check if anyone has new suggestions,  and also note what I've found.

Drifta PVC or Canvas bags  $80-$90 depending on material.

Not bad but I'd prefer lockable.  Something like the galvanised sheet metal ones with hinged lid pictured earlier would be ideal.
