Gas station help!
We recently purchased a 30' TT. After only camping seasonally we are planning on traveling extensively around the country. I was curious how you experienced RVers plan ahead on gas purchases so you do...

We had a whole debate about this topic on another thread. Most gas stations you'll be able to get in and out of, but sometimes you have to pull out your driving skills to maneuver through properly. Some stations don't make it easy, but you can always make it happen. We have the same size trailer and many times we pull in to a spot and then just back out of that spot instead of trying to make a loop.
The 1/2 tank rule is a good time to look for gas. Don't push it past 3/4 of a tank cause that last bit will seem to drop way faster than you expect. Running out of gas is no fun.
We've just starting pulling our car on a dolly, so backing up is not an option. We do have a 55-gallon tank, so we can wait 'til we're down to a quarter and still have enough fuel to give us some options.
Like others have said, we plan our fuel stops to avoid stopping in busy metropolitan areas; we'll stop early so we can go on through.
We also try to stop where there are multiple stations. Having two or three to choose from sometimes helps.
