I can agree that the secondary roads are more accommodating in gas station offerings. I can maneuver my rig just fine too thank you. I just find it irritating that gas stations can't bring themselves to provide just 1 pump to accommodate the RV community no matter what the numbers are.
In the end the numbers pay the bills. Data and demographics matter.
If there were enough RV'ers to generate more profit and warrant a change you would see dedicated pumps. Unfortunately there are not enough RV'ers to pay for that dedicated pump.
Businesses that ignore their own data and make decisions no matter what the numbers say don't last long.
