I wanted to share a simple modification (addition), but one that solves a huge problem.
I recently bought an Arctic Fox 811 and opted to order it with the generator compartment, but without the generator. My reasons were cost, noise, and the fact that I really like my Yamaha 2000w generator. I knew this would be a great place to transport the Yamaha, but like many of us truck camper owners struggled to figure a good way to carry extra gas.
Tonight I installed a 3 gallon RotoPax can and locking mount. I wasnโt crazy about drilling into the side of my new camper so I opted to mount to the rear access door. I figured if I make a mistake mounting it would be far less toutble than making a mistake drilling into the main siding. Also, the location worked well with being out of the way from the ladder, steps, propane bbq, etc.
Here are some pictures. Note, I reinforced the inside of the door with sheet metal. Handling the weight seems like it wonโt be an issue.
