Looks nice, stackable suggests they're square and would fit a standard carrier?

Yep, I have them, and I like them. They're pretty solid. They do have to be stored up-right because they tend to leak a little if tilted down on their sides.

Do they fit in a gerry can carrier? Other plastic cans I have are too wide at the bottom...

We have a couple and they've been good. Tough construction, good spouts, real vents. The wide mouth of the mil spec can is nice for cleaning but otherwise the rhino does about the same for me. Not sure of the footprint, they're close to military size but it might depend on your carrier for the fit.

I have other plastic Gerry Cans that at first glance look the same as metal, but they are wider at the bottom and are not the same as the metal ones. I'm wondering if these are like that.

If someone can confirm they fit standard can mounts I may buy a pair.

I dont have mounts but I have a pair that can be measured if that would help?

I have three of these exact cans and love them. A couple of things....

1) They are rotomolded plastic and, like all rotomolded items, need a bit of trimming. Five minutes on the kitchen counter with a sharp knife and the extra material was trimmed away from the vent openings of all three cans, which is where they'll leak. I've run very rough terrain with them overfilled and stored on their sides. They DO NOT leak.

2) When upright they are exactly the same footprint and width as the 20-liter NATO cans I have for fuel, but they are a bit TALLER. I use the same 2-can rack that I built for the NATO cans. Note that they do bulge out when overfilled, but this is easily fine-tuned if needed. My NATO fuel cans fit my rack lying on their backs, but because the Rhino cans are taller, I have to stand them upright. See picture, below.

3) Yes, they are designed for interlocking and stack very nicely. When overfilled they don't really lock together that well because the sides bulge a fair amount. Still stackable, just not as well locked together.

I got them for a good price and find them very convenient. Here we had two of them on the roof where those NATO cans would go on trips to more remote areas; they fit the rack perfectly albeit standing up rather than lying on their backs. We had our girls with us so space was at a premium, as you can plainly tell!

I prefer these

Much heavier milspec construction. I am sick of leaky water containers, these are well worth the extra cost IMO.

They are generally ~$10 right off of BuyLCI's website versus eBay. However if you go to their website they have a note "Due to system maintenance, certain items are temporarily unavailable for viewing (i.e. OD Green Water Cans - 600409, Desert Tan Water Can - 906396). These items can still be purchased by calling our customer service department at 1-877-524-4722.". Out of the thousands of items they carry, you can't look up the price of those right now?
