What Products We Chose For the Adventure Rigs Sprinter VaN
We approached RotopaX with an idea to use our Owl Vans Large Expedition Box as a mount for their gas, diesel, water and DEF containers as well as a set of their new Recover Boards.
We utilized their mounting plates to attach the system to the box. We loved how easy it was to add their proprietary standard and locking mounting points to easily mount the containers and the running boards.
We also utilized a Jerry Can Holder by Backwoods Adventure Mods to hold a combination of for 2-gallon containers. This set up enables us to mix and match which containers we will take on a particular trip based on needs.
After looking at numerous options, we were sold on the quality of the RotoPax offerings and loved how nicely the mounting system allowed us to easily bring out thoughts too reality for mounting on this box. The quality of all the products are absolutely top notch and the locks keep everything secured in a tidy way without having unsightly locking cables.
In closing, you can rely on these products. We wanted to have a system that worked and that we didn’t have to think about. This portfolio from RotopaX was just what we were looking for.
