I am wondering just how many of you really need or want items like 55 gallon diesel tanks, or worry about MPG or a reasonable speed to travel at.
I don't sweat any of those, but I do suspect we camp differently from you. We almost exclusively are in state or national parks, not resorts.
Having a larger tank gives me peace of mind. Pure and simple.
I can go 3-4 hours between fuel stops. That lets me skip fueling up in a city at higher prices and get a little further down the road to a truck stop where I know there's less concern about getting in and out.
When I'm not towing, I have the option to fill up once every three or four weeks. That helps me wait out a panic-spike at the pump like when a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast or the Suez Canal gets blocked for a week...
Most important... it gives me the freedom to never have to worry about falling below a quarter tank in places like Big Bend NP or the desert Southwest, and the next gas station that's open might be 40 miles away.
