I have experienced the "running out of gas" while driving in a hilly area and main (rear) tank selected, so when I replaced the fuel valve I wired it so the front tank is Main.

My experience has been that since the filling pipe is connected to the front of the tanks, when going down hill the rear tank flows into the front tank. When going up hill the front tank holds its fuel as the gas moves to the back of the tank. While the coach is level, the tanks will equalize if above 1/3 full... in hilly areas the front tank tends to fill and the rear empties.

My question is has anyone else done this?

Is there any major issues with this?
