my old man just went to the Gawler Rangers for a couple of days. Here's the dilemma we own a hilux with a canopy and it wasn't full so he couldn't stuff it between stuff. Ok it didn't fit in the draws BTW your meant to keep them upright. it wouldn't fit where the water containers are no that safe in the foot well. all he had was a swag the fridge and a bag of personal gear and some water.

I was just wondering where u store your gas bottle/s safely

I usually store mine in a plastic milk crate and occy strap it the head board or anything substantial.
Keeps it upright and secure.

Cheers,
Dennis

That's the way we do it

Everything is square, and can be tied down

Easy as !

Unko. Ive got one on the back porch under the barbie. Ive got one in the shed under the bench and I have got two in my camper where I made the effort to make a vented compartment for them. Just wondered why you want to know where I store my gas bottles safely ;-). Cheers Tony

What about getting a gas bottle bracket from a caravan place and fixing it into the tray area of the Hilux. We did this in our work van.

Gday,
Ive tried heaps of things over the years, but I found the best method to be......
1. You need a good supply of cats. (maybe contact Willem)
2. Once dead, dry, salt and stretch thier guts into long stands and let cure.
( save their skins as they make really good hats)
3. platt the cat gut into long lengths of strong pliable rope.
4. Use the rope to secure your gas bottle in the back of the ute.

if you have an issue with method one...try rope.

Cheers

Gday,
You never can take too much cat gut.
But if Willem has been in the neigbourhood and they are getting scarce.......you could always let the Mrs. sit in the back and hang on to them. The bottles dont get knocked around and the Mrs. gets to go...Win, Win I reckon, the Mrs and the Bottles are happy.

Cheers
