For Those that love there Luxury when camping

No, not really, I reckon these would have their place - like if you store your metal jerries in a steel carrier (not a brace, a fully enclosed carrier - to stop the metal on metal rubbing.

True - although I don't think it would take long for the canvas to rub through. I glued a bit of rubber (from an old floor mat) onto the holder for my jerries on the trailer and so far so good.

Yep, I did the same with some 3mm rubber sheeting in my jerry holders and it seems to work ok. I reckon the canvas would work as long as there were no sharp edges in the holder.

I do however reckon the claim of keeping it cool is hogwash - why do you need to keep them cool anyway??? The steel jerries don't expand.

Just maybe,
They are using there Jerry Cans to carry something other than fuel.
Might be a good home brew carrier, then you would need the canvas to keep it cool.

My understand is that jerry cans (especially if electrically insulated from the vehicle body) can build up a static charge which may discharge through the petrol filling nozzle (possibly causing a spark!). And I believe this situation is more likely to occur if the jerry can is filled is situ - ie. in it's rack on the vehicle. Jerry cans should always be placed on the ground before being filled or emptied. I imagine this only applies to metal cans. That's my understanding anyway - anyone know any more on the subject?

They would be okay for protecting the white plastic jerry cans used for water.
It would stop the sunlight building up algae in the jerry.

I think you're winding us up :)

PS. Although I did consider taking a hot water bottle for winter in the High Country :)

not winding at all, they only draw 85w, so when cycling, they dont draw alot over the night.

I think I might take one this winter - both to the HC and the deserts - no female at the moment - so nights can be a bit cold... etc :) Still, at least, that means no one else will hog it :) Although I _know_ my Cav. will find it :)
