Perfect! I'd look around and see if you can find some very gently used ones. Sticker shock still has not worn off!
Hey, would your friend Stuart be interested in joining? I know he doesn't visit or post much.
Goes out to the rest of you, anyone else interested?!
I believe I have Stuart talked into it. They had a camping trip planned the following weekend but I believe they moved it. Let's go ahead and put him on the list.Quote:

Lance, perfect LC run! We are going to drive on that cider cone we drove on last time you were out there!
Bob, It would be a complete trip if you made it!
I would love to come as it really isnt far from me. I live in the 29 palms area. I think I have a lot of work during that time but I can't say whether I can make it at this point. I'm planning to get forced out this year (well not planning but expecting)

I bought a Rotopax after they were at Pismo the other year. I think it was Kevin that won a 4 gallon one. I had already been eyeballing one and after playing around with one I bought a 4 gallon red one. It was around the time I built my roof rack so I built my rack around my two Scepter water cans, travel table and the rotopax. The pax and the table were about the same length so that was nice. At the time they didn't sell the mounting thingys which is fine because they are pricey. I used giant washers and wingnut for the pax and the Scepters.Quote:

It was an impulse purchase and after using it in my shed for lawn equipment I sold it to a local woman from Expo. The idea is nice but the container didn't fit my needs. It's an awkward shape and even full it doesn't keep it's shape. I looked into the Klopin ones but never bought one. It appears they have a stiffer design but it's still flat so the deformation is still possible.
One of the issues with the deformation is that on rough roads if it changes shape it doesn't hold still. My Scepter cans do that so I built more of a cage for them.
I originally wanted the two smaller ones that interlock just incase I only wanted to pack one. I also thought it would be easier to store and use for the lawn equipment, which was the excuse I used to buy it. Turns out I wouldn't be able to mount the two interlocked, laying down like I wanted so I got the 4 gallon which was cheaper. With my sale proceeds I bought a metal Blitz can which is a more useful 5 gallons, won't get a hole worn in it packed down and can be stored inside without fear of leaking or deforming.
Yeah Lance and Bob. Lance, bring the family. Maggie could babysit.Quote:

Will miss you guys! Btw the LC is not an offroading vehicle ;) That's my mall cruiser that sees only Pismo sand. that way it stays clear of pin-striping and other obscure scratches that I may encounter on the trails! haha
Bummer!
Seems like there are a lot of Birthdays in March! People must like getting busy in June!
Geeez!! Okay, I stop complaining about my MPG, right now! LOL... I was bitching because I get ~12.8. I have seen it in the 14 MPG's on highways when I'm cruising 65 - 70 mph.Quote:
