I was just looking at the cap on my Firman.  It doesn't look like a big job to get another cap from Firman (if they'll sell you one) and seal it air-tight by removing the inner piece that lets it draw air and seal the holes (Epoxy is gasoline resistant), then drill a center hole and install a nozzle that you can fit a hose to (that's not rocket science either).  If there's nothing else to it, then you need a gas can with a vent.  OK, old gas cans had the screw-off vent on the backside but modern ones don't have one, so again, you'll have to figure out how to make a fitting with a cap and seal it to the gas can.  If I haven't missed anything, that's all that $146 unit has going for it.  Well, it's a project to think about, but I won't know how badly I think I need it until the weather cools off and we start using our camper.  We are doing a camping-lifestyle change.  We have been "travelers."  Class B Mercedes motorhome.  See a lot but don't spend much time camping in one spot.  Walmart international campgrounds have been our preference because we just need a place to sleep and hit the road in the morning.  Now with a Pod, those days are over.  Travel trailers are better suited for people that stay in one place a few days and not as suited to the "drive-all-day" traveler where the motorhome shines because you can use the inside of the camper all day (It's always cool in the camper...wife can go to the bathroom, get me a sandwich or a drink, etc...while going down the road, something you can't do with a travel trailer unless you stop some place and go into the trailer, which is HOT.) . So we are going to see how much we like "place-camping" this fall.  There may be a real nice 2018 RP-176 for sale this fall! LOL
