Aside from the fact that you have to exit the vehicle to fill the truck's tank, are there any other negatives to this type of setup?
You don't have your trailer listed in a signature so we don't know if you have a TT or 5er. If it is a fifth wheel, and the fuel hose, etc. sticks up above the bedrails, you may be creating a clearance issue. Same for the toolbox. Most of us with 5ers lean towards the in-bed boxes that don't protrude up above the bed rails, especially if we have short beds.

I live in the foothills of the Adirondacks where there are lots of loggers and other outdoor work types. About every third or fourth truck has a fuel tank with the nozzle and pump crank sticking up out of the bed. Seems like a pretty popular setup to me.

I'm tight for space between the fifth wheel and the in-bed tool box. If I could fit a similar tank and pump in there, I would.
