Got a blonde question. Is my gas tank super small?

I had a quarter tank by the gauge when I went to fill up for my first time. I thought it would be over a hundred dollars, if not even worse. It topped out at less than $50! Is that possible? I don't have a generator, it's a 27' "mini" motorhome, 1985, Rockwood. Chevy G30.

Am I going to be needing to stop for gas every 4 hours on long trips? I'm just wondering if this could be a replacement gas tank and they put a smaller one in place of the original one.

Or is your gas gauge off that much? First step I would do is crawl underneath and look at it and get some measurements in inches. Then go to some fish aquarium web site that has a calculator that you can put in your measurements of your tank and gives you how many fluid gallons.

I owned a Class C that only had a 25 gal tank. I had to plan on stopping ever 200 miles.
