- coolbreeze01ExplorerCOSTCO no longer wants motorhomes in gas lines?
OK with me ;) - jake2250ExplorerBoy I hope this is false,,Although I don't have a MH,, I have a camper shell on my long bed truck!! Hope they have pictures or a template so the Costco fuel jockey doesn't get me confused and denies me entry!!
On a side note,,, and I saw it with my own eyes,,stopped at a Costco for fuel in Los Angeles early one morning and three big Chipper trucks were getting fuel! They are as big as a motor home,, towing Chipper machines behind each one of them!!
Boy O Boy, those things took allot of fuel!! They even used the windshield cleaning squeegees and towels to check their oil!!! On the truck and the chippers!!
Boy O Boy,, they used allot of washer fluid and towels!!
Maybe because of them,, Costco is going broke??? - FunnyCamperExplorer II"I heard it from a friend, whoooo, heard it from a friend, whoooo, heard it from another you were messing aroundddddd...."
get the real info. Call Costco and ask. never listen to the rumor mill and you did fill up and get gas and no employee slapped your hand right? - SAR_TrackerExplorer

Many places are not happy with RVs taking up two pumps. While they buy a relatively large amount of fuel - they also keep one pump from selling any fuel at the same time.
The only place I've ever had an employee say anything was the Pilot station in Nitro, WV.
I showed him my RV Plus Card and suggested he call the corporate HQ and ask to discuss the 'problem' with the Pilot CEO.
I will not try to take my 62 foot long rig into the Costco fuel center at the store closest to my daughter's home. Too little room to get out after fueling at that station. I do look at locations in a satellite view, if I can't visit them in person, before trying to get fue
It is obvious to me that Costco, Sams, Walmart and many others do not design their fuel locations with long RVs in mind. Which is why I have several options for fuel discounts. Since so many companies offer them today, it is seldom I can't get a discount on my fuel purchase. I can often beat the Costco or Sams price with other merchants.
There are many Race Track's and QT's you can't get in or out of with a M/H/ I have to ck first also and plan my escape. I also use the outside lanes and I also get over 50 gals at a time. - Sam_SpadeExplorer

True. And in those cases, I will use ONLY the outside of the island on the very end next to the driveway. That way there is no (or much less) of an issue getting in and out.
And as far as taking up two pumps......when I pump 40 gallons at a time, that is likely MUCH more than the two cars that would do 10 gallons each and then go into the store for 10 minutes. - charwanExplorer
