@Trucker_71 you are right then the bean counters took over and went as cheap as they could where they could do so.

@joschac2 Probably because they are ATS and ETS2 sites, not SCS site. https://americantrucksimulator.com/

Coiled lines are still common actually. The rubber straight lines are much better and less prone to breaking in the winter time. The coiled lines are just plastic and break in the cold.
I hope that when they go to Canada, that they bring switching between plastic and rubber lines, since rubber lines are much more ubiquitous north of the frontier ;-)

When using a day cab on the SCS Freightliner Cascadia, the fuel tank moves forwards underneath the steps when you add a sideskirt. Searching around, I cannot find any real-world examples of this, not even on Freightliner's website. What happens to the battery box when you put the fuel tanks under the steps anyways?

The battery box goes under the trailer cable stand.

I have a doubt about our Cascadia. Looking in used trucks website, I saw to much Cascadias with 300 gallons tanks, and our Cascadia have a max of 240 gallons to choose... 300G its a 'external' tank accessory?

PS: Sorry if this has already been discussed here and I haven't paid attention before. If so, if anyone can mark me where they have that answer I would be grateful.

240 is likely the maximum amount from Freightliner but you can get those larger tanks as aftermarket parts or something like that
