Mounting to your Roof Rack

Mounting is made easy using a combination of the Pax Mounts from Rotopax, and the Tube Clamps from Gamiviti. See the gallery below for examples.

You can also watch a video showing the tube clamps… see the Rotopax starting at the 2:25 mark.

Mounting Rotopax to your spare tire

For Toyota and Lexus vehicles equipped with a swing-out spare tire carrier, we’ve got another great solution for mounting Rotopax for those cases when you’d prefer to keep your fuel and water closer to the ground. Paired with our spare tire receiver hitch and accessory mount, the Rotopax pax mounts are a direct bolt-up, allowing you to fit your Rotopax to the outside of your spare tire.

You can also watch a video of the spare tire receiver system, the Rotopax mounts begin around the 3:40 mark.

2 Gallon Fuel Packs

The most popular, common, and practical size for carrying additional gas is the 2 gallon Rotopax. All of the gas containers Rotopax manufactures for the United States are molded using their patented three layer design. This state of the art molding technique exceeds the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and CARB (California Air and Research Board) requirements, making Rotopax the only Rotational molded EPA and CARB compliant container on the market. The Rotopax Gas containers are offered in various sizes depending on your needs. 1, 1.75, 2, 3, and 4 gallon. all available by request.  The 2 gallon size is stocked and available for immediate pickup from Gamiviti.   Remember to vent the pax regularly.

Gen 1 packs have a “twist lock” feature molded into the bottom, which allows 2 packs to interlock together forming one flat 4-gallon pack. Gen 2 packs do not have this feature, which makes them cheaper to mold resulting in a lower price. Both packs will stack on top of each other using an extension mount, both packs hold 2 gallons.

2 Gallon Water Packs

Like the gas cans, the most popular, versatile, and useful size of water container is the 2 gallon Rotopax. White Water container, Spout included, Made in the USA, this roto-molded water can is durable with thicker walls and stronger construction make it leak-proof along with a sure seal gasket to guarantee your spout wont leak or vibrate loose. The water and fuel cans can be stacked as well as combined at the bottoms (gen1), providing for a number of mounting solutions.

Pack Mounts

Rotopax containers are designed to be mounted on any flat surface, or as shown below any 1” or 1.125” round bar. If a flat surface is not available another option is to purchase a Rotopax bracket, and there are various mounting brackets for most applications. All of the Pack Mounts and Mounting Plates are sold separately.. you can see them all at https://rotopax.com/rotopax/mounting-hardware/

The ingenious pax mount design enables you to use any pax mount with any container. The pax mounts are all made of hardened anodized aluminum and B7 all thread for maximum strength. Note be sure not to overtighten the pax mount as there is no need to crush the container, simply tighten the mount until the container is snug. The mounts contain 5/16-18 threads into which supplied bolts will engage to hold the mount securely, either to a flat surface or through a Gamiviti tube clamp.

With the standard pack mount the handle you twist will be right against your plastic container… the deluxe pack mount adds a second idler handle between the container and the handle that turns, which creates a bearing surface and allows for much easier tightening/loosening. Its our opinion that the deluxe pack mount is definitely worth the extra $7, the extensions behave much like the deluxe mounts.

Extensions are used when you want to stack containers on top of each other. When purchasing an extension, keep in mind that your extension size correlates with the container you will have on the base of your setup. The extensions are made of hardened anodized aluminum with B7 all thread for maximum strength. Our suggestion is to limit yourself to 2 packs when mounted vertically, and 3 packs when stacked horizontally.

It only takes 1 tube clamp to mount a Pack Mount essentially anywhere on your Gamiviti rack. They are sold separately, found here: http://www.gamiviti.com/tube-clamps
