Trees in campgrounds - park outside the campground or at the office and scout your site first. If there's a tree issue tell the office so they can take care of it. I wouldn't advise cutting big branches on your own, especially if it's a private park. That's private property. If they won't deal with it then leave. If it's a public park, there should be a host there to help you. We rarely encountered a tree issue - small branches, yes. they grow fast. :) In a public park we would snip the small ones but never a large one.
We found that if the campground has big sites then big rigs have driven through it with no problems.
If you're traveling with someone, have them get out and observe all the branches as you're parking. Sometimes we've seen the wife just sitting in the RV/truck as the husband parks on his own. Never could understand that one.
Fuel - Drive on the top half of your tank and top off when you see a good station. If driving in farm country, the stations will be big for the farmer's vehicles.
You'll get the hang of it! Have fun.
