While motorhome shopping, the best thing that fits my needs so far is a Winnebago Fuse, which is a Ford Transit diesel rig. Since it is a diesel, it has a propane generator. This means I'll be hauling around my 3000 watt Yammy on a hitch mounted cargo rack when I'm boondocking, as well as a couple fuel cans.
I know this sounds dumb, but what is a good way to ensure there is no chance of the gasoline cans' contents winding up in the Fuse's diesel tank by mistake? The biggest (JMHO) problem with a diesel is that if the wrong fuel gets accidentally added, at the minimum, it will be a $8656.11+labor mistake (this being the cost of an entire engine assembly.)
The reason I ask this is that I've seen two instances of people who have Sprinter based motorhomes and portable gasoline generators destroy their rigs this year by adding the wrong fuel, and I just don't want to make this mistake.
Gas cans are red, diesel cans are yellow.
