Default I've been challenged

thanks to big bad diesel for getting me on the subject of the transfer tank and linking tanks and whatnot i got into a discussion with my dad on the subject. then he made the mistake of telling me theres no way i could drive 1500 miles without stopping which i figure to be 25-26 hours. Now i not only said i'd do it i said i'd do it pullin 20k behind me. i still think i can do it and i'd have a co-pilot. Who thinks i can do it?

I've done 27 hours straight pulling a trailer and only stopping for fuel and several trips through the years of 20 plus hours, but I know I could'nt do it without any stops at all.

Hope I'm not on the same highway as you when you try it.
