Yes flow is fine, somedays work alone and don't notice any difference working one pump or two.

I have one outlet from the tank and run 2 pumps via a T piece. To be honest I think that one outlet is preferable as when the tank is running low you can park the van so that water is covering the outlet but if you have 2 outlets either side of the tank one pump is likely to run out sooner especially if parked on a slope. 1/2 inch is plenty to supply 2 pumps.

Thanks for the input simon, that was my logic to... Wasn't to sure if there was any major problem doing it this way rather than drilling another feed in my tank. Which ideally didn't really wanna do...
