Great research...the tanks are 40R and 28F. With this model year, there is no longer a manual switch for tanks. The rear tank pumps fuel automatically into the front as you travel, as the chassis runs off front tank only. It's suppose to do this around 1/3 full on front but reality is, it keeps it full all the time. Front tank has not dropped below 3/4 at all. If you drive 150-200 miles to destination, you've pumped 10-15 gallons out of rear tank. The generator runs off the rear tank and auto-shuts down when that tank reaches between 5-8 gallons. If I were able to fill both tanks just prior to a 2-3 day dry camp, all is good. If I don't have that option...I need to be conscious of consumption. I'm sure I will work this out over time but it's all new to me right now. Having a portable available is comforting. Also, I am of the same mindset as Muggs...why run a 6000W diesel for the times a portable, throw away gas unit would be smarter and more economical.
