Where get gas with trailer attached
I was wondering when pulling the trailer on the road if there are any hints getting gas in the tow vehicle and not having problems fitting in and getting out of the gas stations. thanks, Dean

Here's what we do! #1... I forget about traffic and I forget what's going on at the gas station. If I end up being a jack-a$$ to block the entrance or block a set of pumps, or block in cars that are parked! #1 ... I DON'T CARE ANY MORE! It takes time to get this attitude, but I've encountered way to many rude morons that don't give you time time of day. The WILL NOT wait on you, they will not give you an opening, they dodge around you when your backing up. So I finally got the same attitude..... ONLY I'M BIGGER... So bite me!
I really try to avoid this attitude, but we've been in some situations (even this last Christmas on our Florida trip) when people were so rude, we could barely move he trailer to get out of the station and out of everyone's way. It's those time you just have to show everyone you are bigger than them! Sometimes this is the only language that some people recognize.
Dutchman Sport you and I are usually on the same page, but we disagree on this.
If you have a diesel I recommend using a truck stop.
All your grief centers around you choosing not to use truckstops.
Using a truckstop does not require one to enter warrior mode to get fuel.
One of the biggest untold advantages of having a diesel is you can refill at truckstops.
I can agree that truckstops are not perfect,they maybe very busy places with lots of commotion some can be seedy. The pumps can be oily and dirty. Some,not all are uninviting.
However they all have is SPACE.
SPACE to:turn,swing,pivot and make an uninhibited approach to the pump.
The ability to pull right up the the pumps without obstacles supersedes any other requirement for me while towing. For this reason I use truck stops exclusively while towing the RV.Once I pull up to the pump. I can deal with anything else.
But If i have to fight just to get to the pump, my mindset is shot and my experience will be bad!LOL.
Did I mention I will be pissed off even more if I have to fight and jockey some more to pull away from the pump.
Use truckstops fueling doesn't have to be a battle
