Getting Diesel at service station or truck stop?

You can also download an App called "Around Me" which will tell you the nearest stations w/ info. And YP APP (not the Yellowpages APP although the YP app is yellowpages) also has a pretty good system of showing you the nearest gas stations and other info.

If you have a GPS, you can always download the Pilot/Flying J POI (points of interest) and keep that ticked in the settings.

Gas Buddy (as mentioned) is an excellent choice too!

Also remember, your back tires are your "pivot points" so make sure when you're pulling out of the station, that your rear tires clear those metal barriers before you initiate your turn!

We stopped with easiest in/out when we had the truck/tt combo. We preferred regular car lanes to truck specific lanes because one didn't need to go inside to pay. But, sometimes only truck lanes were convenient.

One learns pretty quickly how to size up a station and the ease with which one can get back on the road.

Download the app "Gas Buddy." It will give you locations and prices (there is a diesel tab). Almost always, large truck stops were more expensive, but sometimes the ease and convenience was worth it.

Can't answer your question but welcome to the forum.

I have enjoyed visiting your community. I particularly enjoyed Bully Hill and the Glenn Curtiss museum.

Good luck on your new adventure!

Thanks everyone for the info. I did download AllStays app onto my iphone which shows all truck stops.

Just be sure to learn how the pumps work at the truck stops. Since tractor trailers have saddle tanks, I've seen pumps that you have to start on a particular side, even if you don't use that side for pumping.

But agree, much easier to use the truck stops. They often have window cleaners, long enough to reach across your entire windshield. An added plus.

Welcome to the forum. I don't have a 5th wheel but, I agree, the one that has the easiest entry/exit is the best choice. That goes for any RV.
Don't worry about saving a few cents on fuel, it's not worth getting stressed out when it's time to refuel.
Enjoy your trip

I avoid the truck stops like the plague. They are usually filthy and many only take fleet cards at the pumps which means you need to go inside and leave your credit card . Also usually higher priced than regular stations. Yours is short enough to fit easily at regular stations. I use the gas buddy app for best pricing.

I'd imagine wherever it is that you feel comfortable pulling into and out of would be the best place to buy diesel. If the station is angled hard or screwy or looks too low, I bypass it and look for a better laid out station.

Been pulling a fifth wheel with diesels for 17 years now and I always use the truck lanes; enough clearance, easy entry and exit, etc. I almost drug an AC off the top of my fifth wheel the first year, before I realized I needed the truck stops, not auto friendly stations.

Many stations have RV spots, beside the auto islands, but you usually have to back out when you get through. Backing a fifth wheel with autos zooming in and out next to you is scary. You might get a slight discount for using the RV island, but it ain't worth damage and repairs to you rig later.
