Thinking of adding and external tank for trip
I've got a 99 F250 with the 7.3 and we're lucky to get a range of 350 miles on flat ground and we like to do a lot of boondocking so I'm thinking of adding an external tank so I don't feel like I have to go from gas station to gas station. We leave mid May and get back in September. I'd like it to be gravity fed so no need for a pump as I don't have any other diesel items.
What can I get one for? Looks like about $300 from scanning Amazon. Also what should that should it cost to install? 40 gallon seems to be the standard size. I assume I'm going to have to move my toolbox forward and have the tank behind it. I don't think I've ever seen at the other way around?
I also bought a more powerful air pump and a new generator (I had one of those 800 watt $100 deals just as an emergency for my 2000 watts of solar my dad gave me when we left to full time three years ago). I bought champion, the stack able version because we just don't use the generator much unless we get like three days of zero sun and I just couldn't justify more than twice the price for a Honda. Hell I considered another $100 job but I wanted the ability to chain them together in cae we decide to do so warm weather boondocking.
I also have all kinds of random safety gear in my toolbox but is there anything else I really should consider? I'm going to get a radio and an antenna for the truck. We did the Baja trip no problem, though the tow strap was useful...
(By the way it make s me select Alaska or Canada but I imagine I'm not the only one doing both...)
