Fueling up on trips

[_tiredTeacher]

We tow a 30 foot TT and always face the issue of finding a filling station where we can get in, fill up and get out. So many places have pumps close to their buildings with access to all but maybe one outside pump impossible to use. Flying Js are the worst offenders in my area.
So ... we were thinking of going to a diesel pusher so we could use the truck lanes. But that got me to thinking.
What do gasoline powered Class As and larger Class Cs do about this problem of pump access?

Have had several different RV's over the years including 30ft+ TT's and Fivers, never thought of it as an issue. Always found a way through most stops regardless. Just need to be creative, and willing to take up more than one lane if necessary.

Common sense helps.

I've had 3 5ers, 1 class C, 1 class A gasser, and the current class A DP. I've never had a problem finding or getting into a station to fill up.

You just have to plan ahead. Not saying pre-trip plan. Just look over the station you're about to, or want to pull into and make sure you can get out BEFORE you get into a situation you can't get out of.

30' class A gas with toad. Just pull into about any Walmart or Sams and fill up, then drive out. Or most any modern quick mart. We avoid FJs and Pilots whenever possible. Just watch tail swing with the toad. Avoid stations that have big name food service(chicken, pizza, tacos), people block pumps while they go in and eat lunch

I use a copy of The Next Exit which highlights the RV friendly stops in red. also when passing exits we try to see if the stations there appear to be usable and note them down in the book.
