I worry more about traffic entering and especially exiting the parking lot than I do navigating the lot itself. If it is tight and I have to wonder if I will fit I just don't go there. That has rarely eliminated enough choices to matter.

36 ft towing a toad = about 60 ft. Usually can find stops along the way with no problem. Maybe have to park a little further away and have to walk a bit, but that's usually a plus.

One tip is not to let your fuel get below half. Then it can be problematic if you need fuel in a hurry.

Gas Buddy, Google Earth for overhead shots. Shop for fuel at 1/2 tank. If the station is too cramped drive on by! Try the next exit. Plan you exit before committing to entry! For meals, we generally eat in Breakfast and Dinner, Eat out on the road for lunch, but try to avoid 11:00 to 1:00 as the parking lots tend to be fuller. Take is show and have Phun! No Worries

Hi, Hey

How do you gravity feed from a tank in the bed into the truck. Don't you have to go up and over the sides? or are you going out the rear of truck and around to the tank?

Outlet and cut-off for the RDS tank is on driver's side. You drill a 3/4" hole in the bed of the truck where the metal rolls from the bottom up to the side, install a rubber grommet to protect the hose and run the hose through the hole from the RDS tank to the filler neck of the tow vehicle. RDS sells a install kit with all the instructions that is vehicle specific. When you are ready for inflight refueling, just reach in the bed and open the valve, fuel gravity feeds from the RDS into the filler neck and then to the factory tank.
