Cubey, after all of the time that you've spent in the RV, it would be hard to go back to the truck camper.

Well see, I was in that big trailer for a while and sold it and went back into the truck camper for something like 5 months? When I was on the move all the time, it wasn't bad at all. If I stop anywhere for longer than a week or two, I tend to want something roomier. I guess because when I am on the move, I go outside more I guess. When I'm parked somewhere more, I stay inside more.. like I have done here in AZ this winter.

I had a 78 Dodge class B I long regret selling and it got about 9.

Course, my huge class C IDI gets ~8 and it's way bigger. Yeah fuel costs a bit more but per mile it's still cheaper than a big gas class C.

If I want 10 city/14 hwy mpg, I can go back in my tiny truck camper. It's quite a bit smaller though.

The two side by side for comparison of the living spaces. Quite a huge difference. I have 10x the space for 16 cents more per mile (based on $3/gal, 38c per mile @ 7.9 mpg, vs 22c per mile @ 13.5mpg average)

Yeah I have the small pickup camper and it works for us, but the space is limited for sure, especially when the weather or bugs are less than ideal. I can see the vast looking space of the truck cab through the pass through window and wish it was more accessible. That said I want the smaller rig to get into more free boondocking spaces in my local public forests, so the truck camper makes sense from that angle. That and I don't get all that much time off work so its usually just quick weekend trips.

Ok,after a little more research I found a kit that taps into the fuel tank without dropping the tank.comes with a seal and pickup line. Drill 3 screw holes and your done. Found it on Ebay. Made for a wabash auxiliary heater .Thanks for all the feedback. Problem solved.
