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...

Never gave it a thought in the pop-up we towed but with this new camper, I will start to pay a bit more attention. I downloaded the iExit app just now and pinned the findfuelstops.com site to use on our trip to Colorado next month.
Funny story about running out of fuel. We were going out to Colorado several years ago in the pop-up. This was before the age of "cell phone apps" but I had planned the trip on our home computer. We were in eastern Colorado headed west and the winds were coming out of the west at about 30 mph. I was not prepared for how much it affected our fuel mileage. I was busy just keeping us in the road and was not really watching the gas gauge. We had a planned fuel stop about 16 miles ahead of us, but going up a long grade I was horrified when the truck started sputtering! I coasted to the side of the road and that was when I noticed the BIG YELLOW FLASHING gas light on the dash. DOH! We had cell phones but of course no service. I also had no gas can. Or did I?
What I did have was a gallon can of Coleman Fuel for our lantern! I dumped it in the tank and away we went! 16 miles later and there was a small gas station where I filled up the tank AND the Coleman can!
