When traveling is there any way to know ahead of time if a gas station off an exit has enough space to maneuver a travel trailer into in order to get gas? Been in some there is barely enough room with...

Looks like you have a diesel tow vvehicle. Finding places to fit is much less of an issue because you can use truck stops a diesel islands at convenience stores.
Finding places to refill with gasoline is a much bigger issue vs. diesel
Actually it can be a draw either way.
I have noticed there are far fewer fuel stations that have gas AND Diesel and the ones that do have both typically have far fewer pumps for Diesel.
I know myself with having a Diesel tractor how painful it can be getting Diesel at times.. I am sort of lucky to have a small Mom and Pop gas station 2 miles away that serves up Diesel on two of their 6 pumps and "off road" Diesel (no road taxes) on one pump. But in my nearest city, most stations have zero Diesel pumps and the couple stations that do have it, have one pump in a small crammed tight spot which would be not easy to fit a RV into.
Basically if you have a Diesel rig, you typically have fewer choices on where to fill up. Big truckstop places like FlyingJs are not everywhere.
You apparently have it bad there in PA. Hard to find LP and diesel?
How hard is it to get non ethanol, av gas and race gas?
