Howl R1 Rally Mount

The Howl R1 Rally Mount is a bolt-on plate that locks the Howl R1 to the outside of your vehicle so the fire stops taking up a drawer. It fits the R1 only; the R3 is a different footprint and does not mount to it.

How it works

A 1/8-inch aluminum plate with a spring-loaded stainless plunger catch and an orange-anodized HOWL knob. Set the R1 on the plate, the plunger drops into place, and it stays put over washboard. Pull the knob and lift it off. It bolts to anything you can run 1/4-inch hardware through: roof rack slats, a rear ladder, a MOLLE panel, a bed rail, the side of a van box.

Before you order

Hardware is not in the box, because the right bolt length and backing depend entirely on what you're mounting to. Measure your rack slat or panel thickness first. And the obvious one, which Howl prints in the manual: never light the R1 while it's on the mount. Take it off, set it on the ground, then light it. If the campfire rides outside, the Overland Gear Guy R1 carry bag keeps road grime off it between stops.

Can you lock it? Yes. Easiest way is to run a short cable through the R1 handle and the RallyMount's lock hole, located next to the orange quick release knob.

Does it rattle? No. Rubber bumpers in the bottom fins, as well as the rubber bumpers on the R1's SkidPlate, dampen any vibrations.

What's the coating? Durable crinkle coat powder coating.

Will my R1 be ok out in the weather and dust? Yes. The main concern is getting dust in your R1's quick connect port, which can then travel through the fuel lines, get caught in the burner jet, and reduce fuel flow. If it happens, it's easy to disassemble and blow out. But to save yourself the hassle, just use the yellow cap on your R1.

Are the bolts included? No. We don't know what you'll attach your RallyMount to, so we can't supply the exact hardware to fit your situation.
