Getting gas with long trailer?

Our trailer is 42’ long and when we go out west we put in 400 mile days. With a 48 gallon tank we will have to get gas along the way, mostly on interstates. The newer stations seem to be set up better for RV’s. But what your saying if I understand you correctly. Even though you’ll block multiple pumps. You can get gas with the trailer attached right?

You mentioned that a 40 foot gas truck can get into the station. But gas trucks don’t go to the pumps.

Don't buy into the fuel tanker gets in there nonsense.
It is much more difficult to get fuel with a gasser vs. diesel.
Gassers have less fuel range which meansthey require more fuel stops.
Truckstops and many large covenience store have seperate diesel islands with lots of access for large vehicles, however dedicated easy big rig access is not gurateed for gassers
Rfeueling a gasser is more difficult but not impossible. Google satelite view is your friend.

You will need to scope out accessible stations along your route and learn to frequent those stations.That works well when traveling to familiar regular places.
However when traveling in unchartered territory you will need to scope out stations. Before pulling in , make sure you see a path out!
Refuel without the trailer as much as possible. Use sattelite view and Next Exit book when possible.
Lastly avoid waiting until you are almost empty. Always give yourself the option to check outthe next exit down the road.
