Phil,
Somewhere I think you asked about other uses for your Puma mount. Well this is what serial #17 is being used for:

The platform is rock solid. If you aren't familiar with Rollercam straps, they are great! They cinch down with surprising force but are easy to release. I highly recommend them: http://www.rollercam.com/.

As for what I did to make this work, I cut off ~4" of the base plate and then welded on some 2" x 1/8" plates for sides. That and some rattle-can black completed the project.

Phil - any thoughts on a version for the Hundy crowd ?

Having a hundy I have looked at options but without drilling holes in the fender its not so simple.

Cool use
Have you seen the RV pump adapted to the screw top for a working faucet?

Noting serial #17 Makes me feel bad we quit numbering them after 30 were sold

I think I saw the RV pump in a thread somewhere, but if I can find it again I will take another look at it.

EDIT: Here are the two most relevant threads I found describing easy ways to access the water in Sceptre containers:

The one linked above works really good.
