For smaller stations, RVs make up less than 1% of buisness. Therefore you get less than 1% of consideration in the design.
There is a reason they won't pester people about parking and going in. The real money is made in the convienence store where profit margins are huge. The people parking at the pump and going in result in more profit. It is a buisness and buisness is about profit first and foremost.
Two simple things will address your issues 95% of the time:
- Plan ahead. Truck stops and rural gas stations often have much more room. Plan your stops ahead of time and check them out with google earth.
- Unless you are doing 500mile days, just fill up before you hook up. Without the trailer, I can get into the tightest gas stations.
