Using Truck Stops
I am new to rving and would like to know if I can use truck stops to refuel my diesel pickup with 5th wheel?

I don't get where some folks think fuel is higher at truck stops that regular stations. I am a fanatical user of Gas Buddy and I never pull off for fuel until I have checked out the fuel prices. Yeah, sometimes there is a little mystery station somewhere all the way through a city that is a little cheaper but not enough to wonder what kind of situations you might encounter on the way and plus burning several gallons of fuel getting there.
The other thing that you can hit at a station is that sometimes (often) they only have a couple of pumps for diesel and it is hard to see where they are until you are already in a bind. These stations often don't have room to pull out and take a break if you have a big outfit. Oh, and there will usually be some minivan parked at that pump with all the kids inside using the bathroom and trying to remember what their favorite flavor of ice cream is. No thanks! I will take my chances with the truckers every time.
