Full-timing in a camper + TT
Instead of asking small bits and pieces which could be taken with wrong contexts, I've decided to post our potential plan. Hopefully you guys can tell me if this will work or not. I'll get the budg...

Instead of the in-bed fuel tank you should consider one of the larger tanks that replace the stock unit from a company such as TransferFlow.
Looked at those already and they are my leading candidate for in-bed tanks. I don't want to go with the replacement types because there's no way to get fuel out of those (please prove me wrong - I would be very happy because it simplifies things!)
I would think a simple add-on fuel tap in the line would take care of that for you.
Almost every camper Outfitter builds is semi-custom and hardly any two are alike. They can accommodate pretty much anything that doesn't compromise the structural integrity of the shell but such work doesn't come cheap.
They have built two for me.
My 2007 F350 SRW/4WD/Diesel carries my fully loaded Outfitter Apex 9.5 and still sits slightly tail high (with no suspension mods) and while I have no idea what my buddy's 22ish foot TT weighs my truck towed it just fine at the same time as I was carrying my camper. Truck sat right at level without the use of a weight-distribution hitch. I believe I was at my GVWR but under my GCWR.
Looks interesting. They have pop-up campers - how do they perform below freezing temperatures? Pop-up trailers in general s*cks in these conditions...
An Outfitter has pretty much nothing in common with those pop-up trailer campers. Outfitters are the only pop-up TC designed as a true 4-season camper with thicker, insulated softwalls (not as well as a hardwall though obviously), a heated basement for tanks and a ducted furnace. We have slept in below freezing weather and stayed comfortable. There was an Outfitter owner that posted some pictures of his winter camping on here but that was years ago.
Though when the temps drop, then just like pretty much ALL RVs, the LP consumption goes way up.
To help conserve the LP supply Outfitter offers an option of a 12V compressor fridge. These work EXCEPTIONALLY well and I spec'ed them in both the campers they built for me. I once ran the one in our previous camper for a year on just the solar/batteries.
