About to install my SS 570 in a 2011 E350 and have a couple questions

[Boomer]

Hi guys, finally found a suitable van. Considered a trailer briefly but found a deal. What is the reason most mounts are on the side as opposed to the back? Is it preference or does it just make more sense logistically? Im also debating whether or not to get a 55 gallon freshwater tank as well as an auto pump out. Would I regret it if I didn't get them?

Biggest reason is weight distribution truckmounts in the back usually cause the van to drive squirrely. If your dead set on mounting out the back 55gal fresh water tank could even the load out for you

Hey guys, I have a SS570 and cannot get my Chemical feed to work. any ideas?
I prime it at start up and make sure the site glass is bubble free, but at the end of the job, I have not used any chemical form the jug?

Even more so if its extended. Ford fkd up and left way too much overhang beyond the rear axle for the entire life of the E series. What 40 years lol.
