Need big rig gas station in Longs SC

Need to find a gas station that will take a class A towing a jeep, about 60ft total. Somewhere on Rt 9, between 701 and 31. Anybody got a favorite?
  • Yes there is. I did a simple Google Maps search and found a Shell station on Route 9 south of Longs. Going to street view I could see that the gas lanes ran parallel to the road giving you easy access to your RV. I also found an Exxon with a similar layout. Your welcome.
  • I saw the Shell, using the same method. I would have to drive past the entrance and come back to the outside pump's in order to hit the the fill. The canopy looked a bit low as well. Did not look at the Exxon. Was hoping for actual experienced review. You are Thanked for the efforts.
  • Shell is plenty tall enuf for an RV. Looks like there is a separate diesel island to the south that may have gas, couldn't tell for sure.
  • You can use that Shell station as there is room to maneuver I have actually fueled here. The diesel is to the left of the gas pumps off to the side. You do not go under the main canopy for diesel. Look at Google maps satellite view and you will see a red tractor trailer and a yellow school bus. The school bus is parked to the left of the diesel pumps and is probably fueling.

    The Exxon also has a stand alone diesel pump located directly behind a large produce stand on the corner. People park all around the diesel pump to go to the stand making it very tight to maneuver.

    Have a safe trip!

  • Sorry my mistake

    Your best option is the Marathon station across the street from the Exon previously mentioned. It is a large station newer with higher canopies. You can travel behind the station if need be to a road that you can take to get back on route 9 at a traffic light allowing you to make a left turn easily if needed. You can also make a right turn as well.

    Access the two left sided or one far right sided pumps and you have a straight shot to the back road. Turn left on back road then left to get the traffic light.

    That sounds like experience? or Google? Either way I appreciate it!!


    It's experience. We stay at Willowtree RV Resort and to get there you need to take the road that runs beside the Marathon station from route 9.

    If I had to pick which side of the island I'd probably pick the left for your setup.

    Have a great trip! Wish I was again getting fuel there!
