I get it. I used to do the same thing and needed the max on everything I took to last as long as it could before I made that 70 mile drive to get gas, groceries, ice, LP etc.
I'm thinking though that I would try to go with the larger tanks. They are heavier, but not that much unless you are just loaded to the max.
