In this video, Wilson installs an RDS diesel auxiliary fuel tank in the bed of our 2018 F-350 diesel truck. We wanted to extend the range we could travel without the hassle of having to stop as often for fuel. With kids, every stop at a fuel station, which is also difficult with a fifth wheel sometimes, costs us a lot in pricey truck stop fuel and extra money in drinks and snacks when the kids go in the store plus, it's just inconvenient and time consuming. This is a complete install video that will show you the process of installing the tank. You will need to have some basic knowledge of plumbing and electrical and some basic tools to do the job right. It is not a difficult install but it is essential that you do it the right way. Always follow all federal laws regarding fuel tank installations and requirements and remember this video is for entertainment purposes only, that's my disclaimer and you assume all risk if you attempt to brave this endeavor on your own. I am not an expert and this is simply my experience installing the tank/toolbox combo.

We are a family of 4 who loves to travel. In 2019, we bought a 30 ft. travel trailer and decided to make our dreams happen by getting out on the road. Since then, we have upgraded to a 39' Fifth Wheel Mid-Bunkhouse and a 2018 Ford F-350 Diesel and are loving the upgrade for our family. We have always LOVED traveling and now seeing our world on the road has given us opportunities to see and make more memories as a family. We are teachers and are blessed to have the same "vacation" schedule, so we make the most of it with our kids by being both weekend warriors and "school schedule" traveling--We call ourselves part-timers. We hope to share what we learn while exploring this beautiful world around us and inspire you to get out and see it, too.
