Filling up at gas station
New to towing and I get a little nervous. When I go to had up is it possible to go where the big trucks fill up at the larger gas stations??

We prefer RV pumps and open driveways also, but these are not always an option.
So we approach the difficult pumps like maneuvering into a campsite. We use a spotter and study our entrance and exit.
Our biggest issue is sharp drive entrance ramp angle, which must be taken diagonally or the hitch will drag.
When our dash board readout says about 100 miles to empty, we start looking for gas. That gives us the option to pass up a few stations. Out West this was not always a option, so we would top off the tank before we left any bigger town.
We also carry an extra five gallons of stabilized gasoline, just in case.
Like many TT issues fill-ups get easier over time.
Good luck
