Skyline Drive will be a nice drive. There are some tight curves. Tunnels can also get your blood pressure up as they can be tight - take them slow.
Getting fuel is an important skill to get early on your RV career. You don't have a lot of time to figure it out as you approach a gas station. Do plan your departure! As someone else said - look for end fuel pumps - they are also the usual pumps that have the diesel.
You can use the truck stop/plazas. They are usually a bit more expensive but to me well worth the expense due to ease of access. To use a truck lane, pull up to pump and then go inside and give them your CC or cash. They will ask you how much to authorize and give them a high number - that way you get filled. Go back out and full up your tank. Truck stops usually allow you to fill up from left or right side. You can also clean your windshield with the long handles window cleaners. Once vehicle is filled, move vehicle well forward so next truck can move in and start their fill up. Time is money to these guys. Once you have filled up and moved forward go inside and complete your transaction and then depart the truck lane.
Have fun and god luck on trip.
