Sherpa Propane Mount — Secure Fuel Storage for the Modern Overlander

Cooking in the backcountry requires a reliable fuel source, but transporting propane tanks inside your vehicle is both dangerous and space-consuming. The Sherpa Propane Mount provides a professional, high-strength solution for securing a 5lb or 10lb propane tank to the exterior of your vehicle. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the side plates or crossbars of any Sherpa "Peak Series" roof rack, this mount keeps your fuel outside where it belongs, ensuring safety and freeing up valuable interior cargo space.

Proudly manufactured in Colorado, USA, this mount is laser-cut from 3/16" thick aircraft-grade aluminum. Unlike heavy steel mounts that can rust and add unnecessary weight, Sherpa’s aluminum construction is naturally corrosion-resistant and lightweight. Finished in a durable black textured powder coat, it is designed to withstand the vibrations of corrugated roads and the exposure of high-altitude environments, embodying Sherpa's "Adventure with Confidence" philosophy.

Precision Fit & Universal Tank Security

The Sherpa Propane Mount is specifically designed to fit the most popular compact propane tanks used by overlanders, such as the Ignik Gas Growler (5lb) or standard 10lb cylinders. It features a precision-contoured base and an integrated heavy-duty strap system that locks the tank into place, preventing any movement during technical off-road maneuvers. The mount's slotted design allows for easy height adjustment, ensuring your tank clears other accessories like awnings or recovery boards.

Modular Mounting Flexibility

One of the standout features of Sherpa accessories is their modularity. This mount utilizes the standard T-slot channels found on Sherpa crossbars and the pre-drilled holes on Sherpa side plates. This gives you the flexibility to mount your propane tank exactly where you need it—whether that’s tucked low on the side of the rack for easy access at camp, or high on the crossbars to stay out of the way of trail brush. The kit includes all necessary stainless steel hardware to ensure a rust-free, permanent installation.

Safety First Design

When it comes to fuel storage, security is paramount. The Sherpa mount features a robust "cradle" design that supports the weight of a full tank across a wide surface area, reducing stress points on the tank itself. By mounting the tank vertically and externally, you ensure that any potential venting of the relief valve happens safely in the open air. This mount is a must-have for long-distance travelers who rely on propane for heating or cooking in remote locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this mount include the propane tank?

No, this is the mounting bracket and hardware only. You will need to provide your own 5lb or 10lb propane cylinder.

Can I mount this to a different brand of roof rack?

While optimized for Sherpa racks, this mount uses standard T-slot mounting patterns and can often be adapted to other rack systems that utilize a similar extrusion profile.

Is it easy to remove the tank at camp?

Yes. The strap system is designed for a secure hold during travel but allows for quick access when you need to disconnect the tank for cooking or refilling.
