I am planning my winter trip and I am trying to figure out where to gas up along the way. We own a 28' gasoline powered Winnebago and a toad. Gassing up can be difficult in some gas stations because the aisles are laid out so that you have to turn in front of the store where other customers park. My favorite type of station is the type where the lanes are parallel to the road way and the store so that you drive in and out without that tight corner in front of the store.
To do my planning, I found some useful sites: The planner on the Good Sam site powered by Rand McNally is pretty good at figuring out where the Flying J stops are. However, their Pilot stations have pumps that are not RV Friendly. I double check the layout of the gas station using Google Maps sat view. In areas where Flying J isn't so popular, I switch to Gas Buddy to price my gas but also, where users upload photos of the gas station. Sometimes, they take meaningful photos that show the gas lanes. I enter the address found in Gas Buddy into the Good Sam trip planner and move on to the next destination.
BTW, If you use the Gas Buddy app while you travel: Update the picture of the gas station to make it meaningful for RVs : I know I will for sure because they are very useful.
Has anyone figured out a better work flow? Is there a web site out there that has it all in one place?
