Fuel Stop - San Diego to Malibu

We are driving a Mountainaire Gasser (36 feet) and towing a small Toyota. We will be traveling from San Diego CA to Malibu CA in two days (probably on I-5) and will need to find a fuel station that we can negotiate. I am not finding anything listed in The Next Exit. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    +1 and easier to navigate with toad disconnected.
  • Fill up in either San Diego or Malibu - it's only 150 miles and no reason to stop. Use your car to scout out the nearby gas stations - s/b plenty.
  • Not sure at what point between those two locations you will need fuel but there is a truck stop off the I-10 near Chino which is about 50 miles southeast of Malibu. Also I see many class A's filling up at gas stations on Pacific Coast Highway in the Topanga area before Malibu, and the Latigo Canyon area just north of the Malibu RV park, further north there is another station in the Trancas area of Malibu.
  • What I do is go to Google Maps and search for gas stations or truck stops in the area I know I will need to stop. Once you find some switch to satellite view any that look good on satellite view switch to street view.
