SPARKWHIZ Jerry Can Mount with Combination Lock, Jerry Fuel Can Holder Heavy Duty for 5 Gallon 20L

I'd much rather see the cage riveted than as an assembly. It would make things overall more secure, if not rigid. The strap hook could be defeated with pliers. It at least ought to have the hinge point where a lock could be inserted to allow hinging and removal. I get what they were doing; it's so you can use full or half-size cans. Still, a full roll end and ears would add such a minimal cost for enhanced theft prevention. Something else that could be done is regarding mounting. The mounting plate is below the plate the can rests upon, so you'll have to measure and lay-out fastener points. Through holes on the can seat would at least allow drilling pilot holes, if not (say, a screw driver). The included lock (which looks like it's from the dollar store) could be deleted to offset the improvement costs. That aside, it looks good, and as can be seen, fits a genuine Wavian can. Assembly is just eight security torx with included tool. Red Loctite might be an option on the screws, but it's unlikely some thief with a proper security torx is loitering. The dampening pads are small and probably ought to be augmented. I don't know that you could really use thicker pads, as that will ultimately affect the fit of the security strap.And you might add something for the sides, but the security strap has a curve that effectively locks the lateral movement. Still wouldn't hurt. If Sparkwhiz did these upgrades, this would be a five-star item.

I mounted this on a rear door mounting frame on my camper van. We then went on a 7300 mile trip around remote Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick. While the mount technically endured the trip, it began bending (the top frame bowed away from the mounting bars) outward from the weight of the Jerry can. I ended up using a ratchet strap to hold it together. I removed the mount when we got home. If I need to carry fuel in the future, I will replace this one with a more substantial design.

Great and sturdy. Doesn't rattle to much just the lock. Holds tight.

The lock sucks, everything else is good

It Does feel like a solid carrier. However I agree with most complaints about the mounting. I guess they expect you to be able to just hook it on, which neither seems possible in most cases nor secure in the first place. However, either through intentional design or happenstance, there’s holes where I was able to put a nut and washer to mount the can. If they provided nuts and washers to begin with I’d have given it 5 stars
