30' Class A, with toad. Fillup at most any convenience store with gas pumps. Try to get an end pump, even if you have to wait a few minutes. When you pull off the road, just take a look at what is there, and either stay or go depending on what it looks like. I try to avoid the truck stops, as I have found most to be very busy and usually rude. Watch your tail swing and/or toad when leaving.
The most important thing is to know how tight you can turn, and how much room you need. Go to a parking lot with marked spaces, pull into one, and see how much room you need, and how tight it will turn. The Ford chassis will turn really tight.
Tail swing doesn't give us much problem, as our gas filler is on the rear. I use the entire gas island if I need to, and get the rear next to the back pump. However, doing this can create more problem with tail swing if you try to turn tight from there without pulling through.
