I will begin the process of fixing fuel delivery issues on my motorhome. The previous owner (my Grandpa!) let it sit for a bit too long. It has trouble getting fuel from the tanks all the way to the carb. It will start and run just fine on a small tank strapped to the bumper. So I want to drop the fuel tanks, verify they are clean, and begin to replace everything that might need replacing due to age and ethanol. I will likely run with the carburetor for a few years before possibly looking at fuel injection - that said - I'd like to make life as easy as possible on myself once this is done. I live in Northern California, where it gets very hot in the summer (well above 100). I want to minimize vapor lock as much as possible with the carb setup, so I will be looking to:
1. Potentially rebuild carb
2. Insulated carb to fuel pump line
3. New Gates Barricade fuel lines all the way around
4. Polyarmor hard lines at least on top of the tanks
5. New fuel tank selector valve
6. New manual fuel pump
7. New in tank electric fuel pumps - https://www.gmcrvparts.com/product-p/gm12-007.3.htm
8. Access holes in floor to facilitate electric pump service in the future.
Has anyone used the above in tank fuel pumps? They seem like the easiest, quickest, and maybe best path forward? Any other advice, or parts/pieces I might be missing?
Thanks,

Unsure of what upgrades may have been done. I'm working on sorting that out in the coming months.
