In 90,000+ miles I have never had a problem fueling up. Mine is 50+ feet with the toad behind.
What I do is that once I get around 1/4 tank, I start looking for gas stations that i can fit in to. IN other words if i am driving on a road and see a station where I can get in to and out of easily, I stop. The biggest problem is waiting until you are almost empty and then you have to settle with what is close.
Fuel is used to cool the fuel pump that is located in the gas tank of many gas coaches. Running the tank close to empty too often can overheat and shorten the life of your in-tank fuel pump.
Another thing I do is at the end of the days driving, I always make sure that my tanks is close to full when I park for the night.
If you travel mostly on Interstates and stick with the stations along the highway, you will generally pay more for your fuel and that convenience. We travel a lot of the secondary roads to enjoy the scenery and we easily find small stations where we can fit. I have never had to disconnect my toad to get in to a gas station.
Since we do travel on mostly back roads is the main reason why I got rid of my diesel coach. At that time, not all small gas stations carried diesel but they all had gasoline. It was a good decision for the way we travel.
