Think a 5 gallon plastic jug may fit in them also. I have a large cooler in the front of the bed, with a milk carton on either side, fits snug. In the cartons I put my Power Service fuel additives, wiper fluid, etc in them and bungeed down. Makes it easy to get to. Good idea - great idea for propane, I wonder if the Blitz 5-gal cans will fit in them. I could clamp them together across the back.

Don't tell that to the guys and gals that drive Semis. 
I drive 34 ft gas Motorhome with a 21 foot trailer, and I can usually get it up to and safely away from most any pump. I had recently filled up at a Station on a postage stamp, or so it seemed. It only had 4 pumps the in drive was on the main road and the out was on the side street. Take it slow, and it can be done. Not a problem, but these are the times that tries men's soles.

It's not the length, it's the height. 5th wheel trailers can run as high as 13'-6", which you won't see in a motorhome. I have had to disconnect and fill because of low canopies.
