Where get gas with trailer attached

Yes C-Bear, I am much smaller than you and I don't full time. At just under 11 feet and about 48 feet in length there are very few places I can't go.
I am small by design because our desire is to go where we wish with out length or height being a major concern.

I try start the day with a full tank and refill once during the day.I do not want to drive more than two tanks (50 gal) in one day. Ideally I will find a station after I drop the trailer for the night.

Pitch, if I were that size I would not worry about height restrictions nor would I even own a Trucker's Atlas.

But to me there is a limit in size where it becomes almost a requirement to start fueling up where the big trucks do. I am not sure where that limit should start, but I know I am certainly there.

We have witnessed a MH (36'-40') size stuck half way in the driveway for a regular gas station. The incline was a little steep and he/she went charging in there and actually hung up on his frame. It was a busy intersection and now he was blocking a lane of traffic. We sat in the backed up mess forever thinking there was an accident. Needless to say I was not pleased when we finally worked our way up past this idiot.

I have never had an issue using any of the major truck stops. I know I am getting fresh fuel and I have found 90% of the truck drivers fueling up along side of me to be friendly. They always pull their rig up out of the way after fueling so the next person can pull in and start fueling, which is something that doesn't happen at gas stations.

Everyone has to make their own decisions based on their size, abilities, and preferences. I generally only have to fuel once a day while traveling. If I pay .10 more a gallon for that 20 gallons I don't care. It is worth $2.00 to me for guaranteed fresh diesel, a long handled windshield washer brush, and a place to park 60' of RV if I decide I need an extra break after fueling.
