Hi All.
For us, anyways, its not a problem. We do mostly all Boon-Docking also. Lets see, our Motorhome is a Gasser, and has a 75 Gallon Gas Tank, which we fill-up as close to our destanation as possible.
Our Toad is a Gasser also, so there is another "Tank of Gas" for us to use. We also have a pair of Twin Honda EU2000i Generators, Paralla Kit and 6 1/2 Gallon Extended Run Gas Tank.
The Extended Run Gas Tank, is stored in a "Properly Vented Storage Compartment", actually where the Motorhomes Main Propane Tank is keep. The Manufactor put in an extra shelf above the Main Propane Tank, and where the "Spare Tire" is keep, and with lots of extra room for other things also.
We can always take the gas from the Extended Run Tank, and put it into the Motorhomes. Then take Gas from the Toad and put it into the Extended Run Tank, and put that into the Motorhomes also.
We always make sure that the Extended Run Tank is keep full, so we can use the Honda's also.
We have never, ever come close to running out of gas. If we should use the Toad, we always keep it filled up after each useage. We rotate the use of both our 5.5 Built-In Generator and our Twin Honda's.
Its nice to be able to run your Generators for as long as you want, anytime that you want, and always have more than enought Generator Power to even go past our Motorhomes 30 AMP Limit.. Works out great for us, anyways.
Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill
