We are preparing for our new "baby".....a BC 3250TS that is currently in the "build" lineup at Heartland.
We have a 2003 Chev 2500HD CC SRW 6.6 D/A.......being new to towing, the frequents stops in unfamiliar territory is something I want to avoid.
I am reading very positive reviews on the Northern Hydraulics RDS Auxiliary Fuel Tank — 37-Gallon Capacity, Model# 71804 and the RDS Diesel Install Kit for Auxiliary Diesel Fuel Tank — Fits Chevy/GMC Trucks thru 2010, Model# 011029.

A local hitch company that does installs asked about DOT issues with this setup vs. some of the electronic and very expensive systems available (that he sells & installs)......the 2 questions:
1. Cut of valve? (I read that it is a manual on/off so think this is just a "procedure" issue.)
2. Roll over? Will it hold the fuel?
Do we have a valid concern with Insurance and DOT's with a setup like this.....We do want to be safe!! Would love input from whoever is using this setup as well as recommendations!!
