How does everyone get fuel to the desert? Looking for ideas. Typical set up is flat bed trailer with Motorhome. Thinking of putting tool box / fuel cell on the trailer, but wanted to see what everyone else is doing these days.

Not the best setup but i use 5 gallon vp cans. Usually take 6 of them with me on a trip.
I tried dump cans but the 11 gallon ones are a little bit of a chore to throw over my head to fill.
Eventually i would like to do a transfer tank on my trailer.

I am considering getting another on of these. I havre one for my truck and use it for long trips etc.
Thoughts are make it mountable to the trailer using the rub rails and a bracket. I can store my straps in there and misc trailer repair stuff and etc. 91 gallons is a lot of tongue weight, but can counter that with how I load my junk on the trailer. RDS is DOT and can be used for fuel, diesel etc.

IBC tanks are cheap and fuel tight. Might as well go big and ensure plenty of fun.

yeah most used ones get used on job sites etc and are thrashed.
I have a small tractor supply one i use for diesel for my work tractors but doesnt get used regularly so i havent had issues with it. I keep it in my storage and just throw it on the truck when needed.

Back when I used my flat bed I always planned to buy a trailer fuel station tank to mount under the deck between the axles and plumb into my front storage box. Never got around to it. Now I have a toy hauler with a 32 gallon tank. Big trips like glamis I’ll take 2 5gallon cans as well.
