 😰 Why It Feels Stressful: • Tight turning space and low clearance • Other drivers being impatient or in your blind spots • Not knowing if you’ll be able to get out once you’re in • Feeling pressure from people waiting behind you • Fuel pumps being in awkward locations or too close together ⸻ ✅ Tips to Reduce RV Fuel Stop Stress: 1. Plan Fuel Stops in Advance Use apps like: • GasBuddy – to compare prices • RV Life, Togo RV, or iExit – to find RV-friendly stops with room to maneuver • TruckMap – helpful if you use diesel and want large pull-through bays Look for truck stops (like Pilot, Love’s, TA, Buc-ee’s)—they often have more space, higher clearances, and easier entry/exit. ⸻ 2. Aim for Pull-Through Pumps • Look for pumps parallel to the store (not perpendicular) or on outer lanes. • Avoid older gas stations in town centers—they’re often too tight. ⸻ 3. Fuel When It’s Less Busy • Early mornings or late evenings are quieter • Weekdays are usually better than weekends or holidays ⸻ 4. Do a Visual Check Before Pulling In If you’re unsure: • Park nearby and walk the layout before committing. • Check for clear exit paths, pole placement, and ceiling overhangs. ⸻ 5. Use a Spotter if Needed If you’re traveling with someone, have them hop out and guide you in tight spots. ⸻ 6. Practice Backing and Turning (When toad is uphooked) Confidence comes with familiarity. Practice in an empty parking lot or use cones to get used to your turning radius and length. ⸻ 7. Give Yourself Grace Everyone who drives a big rig or RV has had an awkward gas stop. Most people around you are more curious than annoyed—and the impatient ones? You’ll never see them again. ⸻ 🧠 Mindset Shift: Think of fuel stops as part of the adventure, not a test. You’re piloting a mobile house—respect! You’re allowed to take your time, breathe, and move at your pace.
