I have a 30 footer. And it's never been a problem even in smaller inner city gas stations...the reason? the distance between your hitchpoint and the trailer wheels is the key here. Your trailer like mine will "track" almost exactly along the same line as your rear truck wheels. It will be a few inches wider but not much.
If you take the normal precautions in your approach to the pump so that your rig is pretty straight as you line up your filler to the pump you will have no problems.
I never use Gas Buddy or worry unduly about where to get fuel. Most stations can accommodate you with no problem and with a bit of experience you will be able to look at them from the road and see what the limitations are.
Remember ALL gas stations are able to accommodate their Fuel Trucks to fill their tanks which are much bigger than your rig.
