RV friendly fuel stop on I70

Hope someone can help. I'm looking for a RV friendly (40' 5TH) fuel stop (diesel) about 1/2 way between Denver and Grand Junction on I70.
  • I prefer busy exits just so I have several fuel places to choose from. The Next Exit becomes even more important to me as I have switched from gas to diesel. The Gas Buddy app is another resource.
    It amazes me that the folks building gas stations usually don't consider vehicles towing trailers in the layout. In a pinch and if there is room, I drive between the pumps and the store, then swing wide to get the last pump so I am facing out, but that was when driving a gasser. I've seen diesel pumps placed where there was no room for a truck towing an RV. Go figure!
    In an emergency, you can unhook the fiver, fuel up and re-connect but what a pain that is!
  • There are no truck stops on this stretch. I Googled and found a Sinclair station in Eagle Colorado that looks like it might have a RV friendly pump island, just wondering if anyone has had any experience driving this stretch.
  • I think Flying J has RV fuel pumps and you can find their locations by clicking on: https://www.google.com/search?q=flying+j+rv+islands&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
    Your friendly gps should be able to find fuel stops along the route you have entered.
  • Most all truck stops would be rv friendly for diesel, that is all we used when rving never had a problem

    According to my 'The Next Exit' book (which is the our on the road bible for my husband and I) there is a Conoco at exit 228 that is RV friendly and then there is quite a stretch without a RV friendly station. The next one listed is exit 105, which is also a Conoco.

    I get all my RV friendly gas/diesel information from the book 'The Next Exit'

    Good to know; I have the book but hadn't thought to use it for that. We will have to start using it more.
