Not enough room

When traveling is there any way to know ahead of time if a gas station off an exit has enough space to maneuver a travel trailer into in order to get gas? Been in some there is barely enough room without taking out pumps, canopies. other cars, etc. Even in truck stop gas stations.

When I'm driving in unfamiliar territory, I start days or weeks ahead planning my fuel stops. I've found that Google Earth is a very good tool to use.

I use the RV Pumps at FlyingJ whenever possible. I know they may not be the lowest price but I have rarely been trapped. It makes finding gas less stressful for me.

Because we have a Dually pulling 20K of 43' Fifth Wheel, only fuel up at the Truck Pumps.
In our TT days got stuck in a few Gas stations, between close pumps and cars parked everywhere. You can use Google Maps and zoom into Street view on some, but that means planning ahead, not just stopping when low on fuel.
