    Haha I know you had it there, I was actually going to tag you in my post because I remember us talking about it but wasn't sure if that was the same brand as the one you had. I'm going to deal with solar heating on jerry can for my upcoming trip and see how well it works and then decide if I want to invest in something with hot water or not lol

    Haha right on, I do like the idea of the jerry can, creativity is cool in my book.

    If you change your mind, welcome to borrow mine.

    Thanks Greg I appreciate it! :thumbsup: I feel like this trip is going to teach me a lot of what would be really nice to have on long trips and what can be improved on in my setup.

    May be a better question for the rtt thread... but this should work. Anyone have a tepui autana and find the cover is freakin tight? I have a blanket, sleeping bag and an extra 1.5" piece of foam in there but ny friends with different but similar tents say their cover fits just fine with that kind of sleeping stuff in there.... even with it empty, im having to push down on it to get it even from hinge side to open side in thickness..... maybe let it sit in the sun for a few days to help stretch?

    I got a quote through a PM from them in May that they do offer a dual can holder. Probably just have to call or email or PM them to get one ordered up.

    Gotcha. I am building my own because all the prices I have seen for them have been way more than I wanted to spend. Even the jankiest solutions are over $100 or can't lock.

    This one is decent for the price and I feel making it lockable would just require welding a hinge and lock. But if I need to do that at all then I might as well make my own.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/172655018750?chn=ps&dispItem=1

    This one looks decent too. Might just buy this one.

    http://www.purefjcruiser.com/metal-tech-4x4-c-945/metaltech-fj-cruiser-fuel-can-holder-p-5563.html

    Edit: NVM those are the price for each.

    IIIRC @RelentlessFab's dual carrier is $120-130. Lockable too.

    Well shit, I just ordered a low pro light bar mount from him like you used to have on the RDP. I'll PM him and see what he says. Might get killed on shipping to the east coast though.

    nailed it. hated my cover zipper as soon as it got dusty. add the annoyance of putting a wet tent away occassionaly.
    if mine never sells its going to become a trailer tent at some point

    Went up to Big Bear this last weekend with my family and got to try out my new 6x10 cargo trailer that I converted into an Offroad camper on 35's

    But what about the Instagram likes? Won't somebody please think about the likes?!?! You forget that's the first requirement for a Expo-Insta-Lander.

    Interestingly, "not willing to admit a shitty purchase" has a name, it's called "Post purchase rationalization". Another version of "choice supportive bias"

    If I could fit a hard shell on my truck and into my garage I would put one on regardless of price. Hopefully in the future when I am in the market for one competition will have increased a bit and drop prices.
