Please choose the correct answer.

1 it could have evaporated.
2 it could have leaked
3 ther could be a issue with the gas measuring mechanism
4 SOME LOW LIFE THIEFE STOLE MY GAS ATE THE RV PARK.

Joking aside, I have a DP with a 100 gal tank. I wasn’t worried about someone siphoning off fuel, but I was concerned about some young twerp thinking it would be cool to pour something in the tank to strand the *rich old couple*. I got my TWO locking fuel caps (same key), one for each side, at AutoZone.

Check # 6: You sleep drove around the area, consuming 1/4 tank and then parked back in your same spot, hook ups and all, and all without the spouse waking up! Takes a really good driver to pull that off!

Absolutely an issue, many folks think they got bad fuel which is extremely rare
