I was carrying 100 gallons aux tank on my F450 flatbed when I was driving interstate.
That was at the time when Utah had diesel like 30-40percent cheaper than California and California fuels have been diluted to deliver less mpg.
Lately every state adds bio to diesel and the price differences between states are no longer drastic.
Than carrying the hundreds lb of fuel cost you in fuel consumption, brakes consumption, transmission wear and loss of payload.
My new truck with 30 gallons tells me "510 miles to empty"
That does not apply to carrying camper, but sure looks good.
