Gdetrailer you get my point. Sounds like you have experienced my thoughts as well.
I wasn't trying to blast those who have those small tanks. My initial comments mentioned being mean spirited. But I am saying that I would not use a vehicle with a 27 gallon tank for RV towing.
If I were forced to I would not use portable tanks but I would get an larger after market tank or get an auxiliary tank.
A 27 gallon tank would be too limiting for me. The small tank would force me to stop way too often. As you noted stopping excessively extends the travel day.
In short a 27 gallon tank would be a deal breaker for me.
My previous trucks I could have had a bigger tank, IF I wanted a Long bed.. That was a deal breaker to me since a long bed with Super cab would have added 1 1/2 ft to the length of my truck..
That would do several things I didn't want.. That would have maxed out the depth of my garage leaving no wall space and just enough space to get around the truck on the front OR the back and not both.. Deal killer.
The extra length also increases the turning radius.. A 21ft truck has a shorter turning radius than a 23ft truck.. Deal killer. My shortbeds already have a pretty darn sad turning radius often making what should be a two point turn into a 4,5,6,8 or more points.
Extra length adds unneeded weight and costs.. Deal killer..
