Auxiliary gas tank
I have a Chevy 2500 gasser with a 26-gal tank and get about 7 mpg towing my 35' 5er. As you can imagine, having to refuel every 150 miles is quite tedious, especially because I don't have a lot of experience backing a 5er in tight gas station lots and can't use the truck islands. I have a 5 gal gas can in my bed that I can use if I just can't maneuver in a station and am not comfortable driving to another one. I have not used it yet, but I imagine filling up with 4-5 loads would be tiresome and time consuming.
I think replacement gas tank may be too expensive and this is really a daily driver with camping every other weekend planned, so probably unnecessary. A removable can seems most appropriate.
I came across 14 and 25 gallon gas carts that seem to be DOT rated on AmazonAmazon (http://a.co/9u25OPk) and wondered what folks here thought of them?
Do they fit and hold up in your truck bed with 5er attached? How do you anchor them? I hear they take forever to empty and might have low quality valves. Maybe a couple 5 gal cans are the solution. Any other thoughts?
