20' Series Jerry can holder

Any pictures of location of jerry can holders?

Am looking at getting two of these for the rear bar.

Across multiple Forums there's quite a few times this gets discussed. Answer's range from:
Could be illegal if used for petrol due to potential explosions if someone runs in to the back of you.
OR
May be OK if just for diesel or water, but adding that much weight right on the rear of the van could potentially overload the mountings but also might just be too much weight right at the rear and lead to inducing sway problems.

In my case I've gone for mounting 2 can holders either side of a box on the front (factory extended "A" frame) and I'm currently working on relocating the batteries back over the axle's to compensate. Might be able to finish it if the storm's would just go away for a while.

Got these from prestige jayco in geelong and Mario welded on the draw bar, heard similar about petrol being carried on the back but I suppose you have to contact the relevant authority in your state ie vic roads etc

This is how I did mine. My son made up the bracket so it arched over the top of my original spare wheel holder that I now use as a basket.
See here for how I did it.

I like that because if the bed cables break, as was feared in another Thread, then the bed just rests on the jerry cans. Less fear of rolling out on the ground in a display of undress, or worse.

As you guys well know, that pic was taken on our last half circle with Marvin finally revealing his secret 'Where's Marvin?' locations. Never thought about the JCs being an emergency bed end support lol.
