We've studied the nearest Costco for getting in and out for diesel. If it is very early it might be possible.
They have constructed their fueling facilities such, on purpose, to keep RVers out.
Can't even see how we could park there. We had intention of stocking up on food etc since it was right off the Interstate.
They sell propane too and you can see the nozzle for filling vehicles as well as tanks. I have seen on small Class C there quite some time ago.
Caabela's, next door invites RVers to park and has a large area for us.
They know if an RVer takes the time to manuever their rig into their lot, they will buy something and typically a lot more than most in a car. If they would just put in pumps.
WalMart is the same. Some few, you can get your larger RVs in and out but far and few between.
At least we can park on the outskirts, of moat Wall marts to buy supplies.
Bass Pro has/had a large area for out sized vehicles, in Nashville. We parked there more than once on the way north for fishing gear and some clothing. Now it is blocked off with large concrete barriers. Yet inside they want to sell you RV Resort and other time shares.
In shopping areas in South Carolina and most places they are configuring little islands, so that it is near impossible, to get your RV into to shop or take advantage of cheap diesel at various retailers of fuel, in them.
They are cutting their own throats. When we are able to stop for food fuel etc at one time we spend a lot more money.
I imagine the typical RVer spends a grand or more, when fueling and buying provisions, and maybe eating at a restaurant, where it is possible.
