Refueling locations for gas class A towin

We are relatively new to our gas powered class A (32 ft) and currently do not have a tow vehicle. As we travel more we are considering starting to tow. However, we sometimes have difficulty finding a place that we can maneuver our motorhome in to refuel without a toad, and cannot imagine being able to get in and out with one.

We look for Flying J with RV lanes, and those are great, but also pretty limited in some areas of the country.

My understanding is that the truck lanes in the rear of the major truck stops only have diesel fuel and not gas.

So for those with toads on a class A gas RV, how do you manage to find stations that you can get in and out without a driving test.

Thanks for any thoughts.
  • The trick is to not wait until you HAVE to stop for gas. After your tank gets below 1/2 tank, if you see a station you can pull in to...stop and fill up. We have stopped at little stores that only had two pumps outside that were parallel to the road. Easy in and easy out when towing. Other large stations often have the outside pumps that are easy to get in to or out of. If you wait too long to stop for fuel, your choices are always limited.
