Side mount Jerry Cans

Is there any way to side mount Jerry Cans on the Xpedition ADV5 ?

Not very universal when it comes to types of cans as it only supports RotopaX but these work well.

Is there any way to side mount Jerry Cans on the Xpedition ADV5 ?

I'm not sure about how to mount them on the side of the unit which to me would seem somewhat hazardous in the event of a roll over.
After careful consideration, I went with a couple of 2.5 gallon "Wavian" jerry cans (5gal total). They sit on a rack and are considerably lower than the roof line. Which made me feel more comfortable in the event of a roll over.
I utilized the rotopax back in the day when I had my razor 800 and found that here in the desert Southwest, they were constantly expanding to the point that they would leak , which caused serious concerns.

This may give you some ideas for your buggy!

Unfortunately I cannot do that as we have the fully enclosed rear on our Xpedition .

If you’re okay with gas cans inside, you can mount a rotopax gas jug mount to the bed rail using some of B’s Fabs rail nuts.

It’s definitely not recommended by Polaris, but there really isn’t any “recommended” options for carrying gas cans on these machines.

Like so…



Otherwise, there’s no option for external side mounted gas storage.

The ADV 5 is fully enclosed . Don't want fuel jugs inside .

Unfortunately I only have 3" clearance in my garage at the cabin where this will be staying . I think I have an idea to make a side mount without drilling or messing anything up . I will post pics when I get to it .

I use a fuel bag on the roof rack when going on longer rides. I like that when empty it rolls up to nothing and I don't have to have when the ride doesn't call for extra.
