This is one reason I put the backup lights on the trailer at the beginning. People seem to understand quickly when those lights come on.:E
I would say this issue is one of the most worried about issues with newbies. I admit, it fretted it too, at the beginning. Although I tend to stick to the truck stops for ease and speed of fueling, I have no compunction about pulling into almost any station now. It becomes a non-issue in short order. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff.
It's odd that modern travel trailers don't usually come with backup lights. There's a spot for it on the 7 pin. My horse trailer has them. I do have the luxury of having rear facing bright loading lights, so I've thought about hooking those into the backup circuit, but I'm not sure how to wire it and still have a switch in the trailer for normal use.
