Gas challenged?

[jjjandrbaker]

Knowing that I'm going to get some snarky comments, I'm going to go ahead and ask my stupid question of the month. I am on a 19 day cross country road trip. I have tried to use gas stations that accommodate RVs. So far, I have not been able to figure out where I am supposed to get my gas. I have been to a Flying J, Love's, and TA. The regular pumps are hard to get into. The truck pumps, seem to only have diesel. I haven't seen any pumps designated for RVs. My trailer is a tiny 15 footer. I know you guys with bigger rigs aren't using the regular pumps. Where am I supposed to be going? Remember, I said it was a stupid question. Be gentle!

with two exceptions every Flying J we've been to in the past 30-years has had two separate and distinct RV lanes. They are off to the side of the "regular lanes". the other truckstops...Pilot, TA, Petro, Loves and tge rest...don't have separate RV lanes.

that being said your total combined length can't be more than 35'. our combined length is close to 60' and we can still use the 'regular lanes'; we prefer the FJ RV lanes but we can use the auto lanes if need be. it takes some practice but you can easily do it. you'll block both pumps but that's just the way it is.

Most Flying J stations have two RV pumps off to the side of the regular pumps as well as a dump station and propane filling. If using a regular station you need to find those that have the pump lanes parallel to the road and do not face into the store. Use the outside lane if you can. Most importantly, do not wait until you are down to a quarter-tank before you try to fill up.
