Subject:      rear gas can carrier ( winkler )
Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII


Does anyone have experience with the rear gas can carrier of the style
seen on the vanagain site?  It seems like a neat idea to me but 300+
bucks with shipping is a lot of money to carry 5 gal of extra gas
around.  The price is probably reasonable considering it comes special
order from Germany but is still a lot for me for an admittedly cool but
maybe seldom used item.  If anyone has used this carrier or similar I am
interested in you feedback.  Also, maybe someone has come up with a good
way for less than $300 to rig up something to carry more fuel without a
stinky and dangerous can inside the van.  Here in Kansas extended range
is a plus in some areas esp. at night.  I appreciate any ideas as
always.  I have had my 84 Westy for a little over a week now and love
it...this list has helped me out just lurking.  Thanks all!

PS.  Anyone from my general area ( Kansas City ) know anything about the
MoKan VW Club that supposedly exists?
