I picked up a used 60 gallon Fuelbox fuel tank/tool box combo that I found on FB Marketplace for what I think is one heck of a deal.
My motivation is to be able to purchase cheaper fuel along our route and be able travel for 800-1000 miles without having to refuel. We use the TSD RV fuel card and can buy fuel for considerably less than the pump price at truck stops.
When you fuel in the truck lanes at a truck stop, you learn very quickly that you never want to fuel in retail lanes again. The convenience and safety of pulling straight into and straight out of a fuel lane can't be matched by the zoo and tight quarters at retail pumps. You also learn quickly that the pavement at truck stops that take the abuse of trucks all day, can be very pot-holed and rough. You love fueling in the truck lanes, but you don't want to do it any more often than you have to, another benefit of carrying more fuel is less fueling stops.
An example of fuel savings is our upcoming trip to Colorado. If you fuel in Nebraska for $2.80/gal and have enough fuel on board to make it back to Nebraska without refueling, then you can avoid paying $3.25/gal in Colorado.
I needed to replace the gas struts that hold the lid open and replace the missing keys. I called the Fuelbox support line, placed the order, and was off the phone in less than five minutes. My experience dealing with Fuelbox was fantastic.
The toolbox on top offers a place to store the hose and nozzle, a grease gun, and stinky fuel additive.
The Fuelbox is narrow enough that I can still stand in the back of the truck with the 5th wheel hitched. One of my requirements for a fuel tank was that it not be visible above the sides of the truck box and not have a visible pump or hose. You'd be surprised how difficult it is to find a tank/tool box combo that meets both of those requirements.
I wired a 7-way to the power cord so I can pull power from the in-box 7-way when refueling and not have to run a wire to the battery.
