fuel stops

Heading from Florida to Wyoming, does anyone know of a comprehensive guide to RV friendly fuel stations? I have the flying J app but would like to have something else for back up. I will be towing during this trip and would prefer RV fuel lanes or stations with pull thrus and enough turning radius for a 35' gas rig with TOAD.
  • We carry a copy of the "The RVer's Friend - North American Diesel/Parking Directory". Lot of info for RVers - "Annual directory of 6,100 US & Canadian "big rig" fueling (gas, diesel and propane) locations and the services they provide. Lists which truck stops allow RVs to park overnight and which ones have dump stations, repair shops, restaurants, scales, truck washes, etc. Also includes state and national parks and rest areas with dumps. Truck stops are listed by interstate, in exit order, and also alphabetically by city and state.'
  • For me I have never planed fuel stops in the last 14 years of towing. When fuel gage is low I stop and get it. Have never had a problem finding or getting in or out with our rigs. This includes small towns, big cities, interstate exits( I just watch for service signs) and have never gotta bad fuel. At night if we are unhooked I will go top off for next days travels. Currently 5300 miles into a7-8 week trip with 1800-2000 to go. Happy trails.
  • No guide will be 100% correct but I prefer The Next Exit, available at most RV dealers and truck stops. Businesses listed in red at each stop are supposed to be RV friendly.
