I was thinking of a reason for a new toy 
and was also thinking it could be like touching a brake rotor.

However, never let me get in the way of a new toy!

Glad you found it right away. I leave my tanks open all the time, untell it's time to put it away for the winter anyways. That Fridge is on and running from the first camping trip to the last. As soon as I get home I plug the camper in, so the battery charges and the Fridge switches to electric.
I normally always shut the tanks off as soon as I plug in when I come home but this last time was odd and I didn't get a chance to plug in the trailer till a day or so later so i forgot all about the gas tanks. Lucky though that it happened here at home and I caught it!

Those scare me especially for hauling lots of weight. Look how far that trailer hitch would be hung off the back of the truck.

Redacted, did not see that. Back to front receiver or receiver on TT.

I'll snap some pictures in the morning. It was expensive $680 but I wanted to take the kids bikes. I have the three bike installed they offer a 4 bike but it wouldn't fit on my setup.

I too looked at the front hitch but it meant trying to find a place for the fog lights and front plate.

That setup wouldn't work for me either, I've got my generator up front... I could get creative and mount a rack on the back above my storage box I suppose. Right now I have no way to take them unless I'm pulling doubles.

Well my wife talked me into getting kayaks and now we have 4 huge kayaks to take along on the trip as well so something needs to be moved somewhere to make room.
I said I am not putting kayaks or bikes on top of the X. They will have to go on or in a trailer somewhere.

Buy how ever many of these you need: https://www.etrailer.com/Truck-Bed-B...ks/HRT970.html
Mount to a 2' x how ever wide you need piece of ply and put the bikes in the TT. It's nice to use in the back of the X or pickup as well when you drive to a bike path or mtb trail.
I have two mounted to a 2x6 that I throw in the Ex when my wife and I go riding.

Tires
Well we left Friday for our short little run to yogi for the weekend and BOOM five miles from the house blow out a tire . They are Carlises and about 7yrs old. I know they are old, they were on it when I got it . What's the going brand now a days. I also tore out some insulation. I am thinking of repairing it and putting some diamond plate under the floor and over the tires so if happens again it will not damage floor. Any thoughts or has anyone had this happen before?
