Trailering

Since some don't believe that the layout I don't like can be an issue, I wanted to post a pix of a local station that I don't dare pull a long trailer in, heck even a pickup truck can be a challenge to get out when this station is busy so I avoid it at all costs..



That station I added in green the orientation of the islands under the cover, islands are the full length of the cover, there is less than one car length between the end of the islands and the car parking spaces in front of the building..

You simply cannot make a turn with trailer in tow between the station building when the parking spaces are all filled.

Yup, that station would not be my choice either, because the fuel islands are too close to the convenience store. With the overhead cover between the fuel island and the convenience store you can absolutely tell that their priority was driving traffic to the convenience store (rain/snow/hot sun aren't as much of a deterrent if you cover the walking path) over fueling up as many vehicles as possible or accommodating bigger vehicles. That's fine, but it means I'll skip that station when towing.
