As far as the fuel system losing prime... what I shoulda done before abandoning the SEE overnight to avoid hand-priming the next morning (at least I know that hand-primer works, now), was shut off the fuel valve. If the fuel can't drain back into the tank, it oughta stay primed, right? I just came back inside from doing this, I'll test it out when I clear all this snow tomorrow morning, after filling the low tire from the Oasis compressor on my service body... which I'll need to hotwire from the big battery charger, because of course that truck's batteries are in the SEE, now.
The final high-current electrical system on the service body will be a (small) lift-gate. The service crane will eventually be great for getting the spare tires re-mounted on the FLUs, but totally overkill for hoisting & swinging the big floor jack into the bed. I can't lift it myself, but I could drag it onto a lift-gate. Which is how I got it here from my last place -- someone else's lift-gate. Those things are awesome!
