Geoff,
You make a very good point.I gave that alot of thought before I covered the tank.My goal is to have the truck match the trailer as close as possible and I felt that would help achieve that goal.On the other hand,if the tank ever has to be removed it will be a real PIA.Gamble I decided to take.

Originally I intended to leave both tanks on the truck to extend the range.However,I discovered that doesn't leave much room for holding tanks,generator,batteries,etc. I have removed the drivers side tank and intend to mount the generator and batteries on a sliding tray to the original fuel tank mounts.This will counter the weight of the fuel tank and help isolate some vibration from the generator since the box is rubber mounted.My problem is I have been unable to find a slide tray or drawer slides heavy enough to support the generator and batteries. The generator weighs 504# plus two batteries.Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Michael
