Gas at flying J RV lanes?

Also have experienced that stuff at other fuel stations......some people....I love the Flying J/Good Sam charge card, (use other credit card at other stations), don't even have to go inside....I usually get gas, clean windshield while pumping, pull away, park somewhere out of way if have to go inside.

Coming back from long trip out we pulled into the Pilot / Flying J north of Lake Havasu City in AZ. Pulled into the RV pumps and all they had was bio diesel. Had to wait for a guy to finish cleaning ALL his windows and mirrors - was done fueling.

So we went on to Eloy, AZ and pull in RV lane behind a car getting gas. Woman in passenger seat. No driver around. He finally comes out with sandwiches and all. Finishes his gas. Then decides to do window! Then to check oil.

Just another day at Pilot / Flying J.

If you have the Pilot RV credit card, it is 5 cents off gas

The "myPilot" app installed on my smartphone shows the number of RV lanes at those locations that have them. It also shows if a location has designated RV parking spaces, along with the current fuel prices, etc.

Been to a couple that are supposed to have RV lanes, and didn't. Been to couple not listing as having RV lanes and they did.

One thing I've learned about Pilot/ Flying J - find out if the location is a company store or a franchise. We stay away from the franchise locations. They usually do not honor the discounts at the front fuel pumps, and if they have RV lanes they are too short late additions (Jarel Texas is one such RV unfriendly location)

Google Earth can see the RV lanes.

Pilot/Flying J has a download spreadsheet for all stations with info if RV Islands are there or not and other info.

As noted, yes the RV lanes have gas. But one caution: not all Flying Js have RV lanes, and the RV indication in the Pilot/Flying J directory is not always reliable. We just completed a 2-1/2 month trip around the U.S., stopping at Flying Js with RV designations all but a couple times. In a few occasions, there were no RV lanes and for some of those, we pulled in assuming there would be an RV island, there wasn't, and then found there was no easy way get out. (I know, I know ... do that before you pull in. My bad.) We never discovered an easy way to determine whether there would be RV lanes or not. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

Actually, I can get our rig with toad in and out of places that most duallys can't even get close to. Then, lots of the dually drivers can't even get into Walmart parking lot anyway. But then, I have seen a lot of ladies(?) driving duallys with 50' horse trailers that can park the rig on a dime, forward or backward. In that case, you say "Yes, Mame" and get out of the way.

Thanks for the info.
Have used the RV lanes before, when available, usually used the truck lanes for diesel, but have to say the truck lanes were getting pretty busy. Sometimes the RV parking is not blocked by cars. Just one more place to check out.

When the stars are aligned flying j works.
Thanks to all.

We just pull our 30" gasser class A with toad into an open lane at Walmart. Only time we ever got stuck was when the gas tanker blocked the exit lane we needed, and he apologized because he thought we could get out the other way. We could have, until the redneck with a pickup blocked every body while he waited in line for chewing tobacco.

Around here Walmart stations are some of the tightest. My local Walmart I can't pull my crew cab truck out without backing up once.
