Yeah, that's what killed the idea for me. Any SRW truck with a mid-to-large-size 5th wheel is going to be very near or at its limit as it is and an additional fuel load might be really pushing it. I would definitely suggest weighing the fully loaded rig to see if you can handle the additional weight. I know that was not the original question and not trying to be the weight police, but just sayin' in case this factor was overlooked. Having done that I'll say no more.
