When you are 67’ overall double towing the truck stops are your only safe choice. Do as I suggested if a passenger is with. If not deal with if needed.
We were 56' when we had the TT and Suburban, and always had to use the "car" lanes to buy gas because the truck lanes were diesel only. We had backing out of a gas station and onto a main road down to a science, because all the stations now have the pumps perpendicular to the mini-mart so you can't pull around.
I installed a set of bright halogen driving lights on the back of the TT that were wired to a relay triggered by the reverse lead in the 7-pin connector. Originally designed for backing into campsites after dark, also worked well to alert drivers that I was backing out onto a main road.
Glad to have a diesel truck now so we can fuel in the truck lanes.
We had a bad situation towing our 36' Mobile suites no Trailer behind. We had to pull into a Chevron to fuel then realized there was no way out except to back into traffic that was coming off an off ramp then turning right. The wife was scared but did handle it well. NOT fun so we have a rule to stick to truck stops even with just the current DRV that's 41' overall.
