The advice about scouting out your stops ahead of time with Google Maps or Google Earth is very sound. You can get the satellite view then zoom down to street level to assess you entry and exit strategy. There are several apps that have maps of RV friendly stations. Many are free.
I set the target maximum distance between fuel stops, then use Google and an app to set exactly where I will stop before heading out. It removes a degree of stress from the trip.
Good luck and safe travels.
I think I paid $10 for Allstays in the App Store. It's a slick app that's well worth the small expense - it has a ton of pertinent information in it and is very easy to use.
There are actually several AllStays travel apps. I believe you are referring to the "Truck Stops & Travel Plaza" app. There are other AllStays apps for campgrounds, rest stops, Walmart overnight parking, etc.
Others I use include "RV Parks & Campgrounds" (free version, includes RV fuel stops, rest stops and chain stores & restaurants. There is a Pro version to buy) and "Trucker Path" (free and pay versions). I like the ability to consult multiple sources if need be.
I am sure the AllStays truck stop app is very good, considering their other products. $10 is really not much considering the problems you are trying to avoid. Some may wish to try a free version first to determine if they like the features and to see if the methodology of using such a tool fits into their way of doing things.
