I'm looking at the RDS auxillary fuel tanks. I'm planning on plumbing it in with the install kit. My only issue is I have a camper shell and haven't been able to find anything so I can fill it up from the outside. Transferflow makes one but it won't work on the RDS tank. Anyone have any leads on where to get one?

Arn't there simple kits that allow your cap to tilt from the side?
