    I have a M2 112 chassis with Dynamax motorhome built on it. Wondering if someone would please share their expertise with me on a little of this learning curve? I have twin 50g fuel tanks...do these equalize while pumping fuel or do I need to fill both sides separately? Also, what is the highest, while still safe for the engine, RPM that I can go up to while driving uphill? Thank you so much for any advice you can share!

    Best way to know for sure is to check for a cross over pipe

    Or put 10 gallons in one side, fill the other, and idle for 30 minutes and stick both tanks.

    The RPM limit is a question that should be answered by Freightliner. They might also be able to answer other questions about the truck if you provide a VIN.

    If you are asking that, during a fuel fill up, will both tanks fill from one side. My guess is no, you will need to fill each tank separately. This should be covered in your owners/operating manuals.

    Maximum engine RPM is dependent on you engine and transmission, the information should also be in the manuals.
