I totally agree with the post above. But, here is a bit more info.
What do you mean by fifth wheel friendly? I assume that you want to know if you can get into and out of the station without a lot of problems maneuvering. And, I have to assume you have a diesel tow vehicle.
Stations meeting these criteria are any pilot/flying J. Most truck stops are easy in, easy out. You can even use the truck pumps, but the etiquette there is to fill up and pull forward clearing the pumps for someone behind you before you go to pay.
Most stations have diesel now and they are usually located on the outermost set of pumps. I say usually as the diesel pumps under the roof at Flying J's are the center set of pumps. But, Flying J's always have a special pump island for the RV's. If your in doubt pull into the station and park out of the way and send a runner to locate the diesel pumps.
The National chain stations build there roofs over the pumps to more than clear the height of your fifth wheel.
