Lol that's what I've had for 10 years. AGM batteries, separator, and converter/charger. Not even a volt meter. Just have to replace batteries every 5 years.

Yes, this one plugs into the diagnostic port and works by magic. I didn't want to diy it or try to find the right wires. I only need to find the port and a ground.

I think RVIA standards required at least 36" horizontal distance between the chassis gasoline filler neck and the intake of a fuel burning appliance. This is to prevent fires when fueling the vehicle.

Good to know! I really like the torsion axle on my 5x8 aluminum flatbed trailer, mainly because it is smooth when unloaded or lightly loaded. Don't have much experience with tandem axles.
