2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Aux Fuel Tank with a Camper?

[Mike Ellis]

Any ideas on a good in-the-frame aux fuel tank? I can't use the bed mount / toolbox combos because of my truck camper. I looked around on the web trying to find something like a stock-size tank that would install on the passenger side in same fashion, but didn't have much luck. Don't want to lose the spare tire space either.



Any of you ever put in a tank similar to this??

That's a great idea muddymess, wonder if it would hurt to take the camper bumpers off the front and let it sit right up against a skinny tank like that? Camper wouldn't have to sit back at all in that scenario, and a strong tank has got to offer better support for the camper than the two rubber bumper stops. Hmmm.

John McIntyre has a trick set-up as well. He claims that he can even store a Rickson spare to boot and he is never without his slide-in! Check out his signature for details.

How about the Transferflow?
