I certainly would hate to get rear-ended with the gas can in that position!
I don't think you could find a more deadly place to carry it!

Subject:    Neat vanagon expedition accessory

Folks,

I've been urging Gary Lee to design a way for Vanagon folks to carry
extra gasoline on the vans.  He had already designed a really cool rear
hatch-mounted ladder that seemed like a perfect place to hang stuff
from, and I asked him to try to figure out how to use it to hold
5-gallon gerry cans of gasoline.  (On the South American trip, I carried
them in the luggage rack, which significantly abraded the gel coat.)

I'm happy to report that Gary has come up with a wonderful array of
options for his ladder which allows you to carry 2 gerry cans 2 spare
tires, or one of each.  Check it out at:

Joyous Solstice,
Coyote
