We use the Flying J and Pilot for fueling our gas MH, but during peak travel times it is difficult to fuel up do to the limited fuel pumps for gas rigs. Pilot stations are very hard to get in and out unless you have a diesel and can go to the truck fuel pumps. I have seen rv's pull away and either attempt to fuel in auto island's or pull out and leave. Are there gas pumps at the truck islands at these stations and if not, why not install them?

Many of the Flying J's have RV lanes that have both gas and diesel. Not so many Pilots. Get a directory at one of the stations and it list the stations that have RV Lanes.

Especially when any gas sta is busy I try to drive between the pumps and building and pull into the pumps facing toward the street. Seems much easier to get in and out. I have made that a practice when I had a 5ver, my TT, and now my MH. I figured that one out several years ago when I got blocked in by a motorist that left his vehicle at the pump and went to lunch.

I avoid all the big rig truck stops. Normally they are crowded, noisy, dirty, and more expensive.

Thank you for the info, and we do use the RV pumps, but at times the line is very long. I also had a car parked in the fuel line and we waited for about 20 min. and I went into the store and asked who owns the car, and no one knew. I went to the restaurant and asked, and a bunch of young adults were eating at the table by the window and knew they were blocking the pump. When they came to move, they showed their age with the "finger".
