Would not matter if I had a 1000 gallon tank in the truck we would still be stopping every 300 miles or so for a restroom stop. We did consider a extra fuel tank but decided it was of no benefit to us.

Rich, we also are "older" and usually I and the DW appreciate a "walk around" every couple of hours. However we have the option of stopping on the road where we have a large shoulder, or a hwy rest stop and fuel is not there. A 300 mile day is all day for us. Leave around 9, stop by 3. Get settled and ready for a beverage by 4.

The price of fuel savings will probably never pay for the cost of the RDS tank and the install. But, when I fill up, leave with 95 gallons of fuel, knowing most of our destination trips are usually 1000 miles or so, (Mo to RGV for winter, Mo to Colorado for summer, or points west) I only need to fuel once and can pick and choose where I fill up.

Before I had to fill every day and was at the mercy of the local truck stop, which we all know are not the least expensive. I hate the big truck stops, most are not RV friendly, charge extra for credit cards. I have swore off of T/A and Loves.

The thought of all that extra weight. 60 gallons of diesel fuel is about 360-400lbs. Like that is going to make a difference.

No, there is no logical reason to install a larger tank, but knowing I have the option to drive for a couple of days and not worry about fuel, works for me.
