Hi Everyone,

Due to the smallish fuel tank in my truck I am considering installing a combo fuel/tool box in the bed. The stock Ram tank only has about 26 gallons and about a 300 mile range.

I also like the idea of getting some of the heavier tool items out of the trailer and ahead of the rear axle on the truck. This would free up some cargo space in basement for more camping specific items and keep the tools with me when we aren't with the trailer. We have the cargo capacity on the truck to handle the weight of the tools and fuel. (roughly 5200 pounds CCC). The pin on the trailer should be 3,000 pounds or less.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations? I am looking at a simple transfer tank that is gravity fed into the trucks tank. This unit is low enough that it won't interfere with the 5th wheel turning.

This is a leading contender and would give us a lot more driving range and the ability to fuel where we find cheaper diesel and not have to fuel as often, hopefully less often while we are hooked up to the trailer.

Thoughts? Thanks!
