THIS^^^^^^^^
Works this way on the FR app also.
Very easy to determine which Forum section the thread is in.

But why does it matter in this...

The Costco I am talking about a Sunseeker won't fit in that gas station either...

If we are gonna nitpick about this, then why do motorhome owners post in the TT and 5'ver topic threads?

Probably the same reasons is my guess, because in the end...an RV is an RV!

Shouldn't it work both ways?

Anywayz...back to the gas station discussion...

Assume you are looking for Diesel fuel? Here near the Dayton Mall(South Sam's)
there are pump's 1-4 that have diesel in addition to Lo\Hi test "gas". I just checked this last week after talking to the attendant and since my fuel door is beside the driver's door I have to use pump #1. Have to make a left-hand turn out of the pump area and think I can do...or...I'll back out...beep beep? The price is always lower there by 15 cents, or so... ;]

PS: By the same token...the North Dayton Sam's has easy pull through's unlike the S. Sam's and a layout that even a deranged monkey could negotiate, in-and-out. You just have to either call ahead or go see with your own eyes to make a decision. Good luck...you know the drill!

I'm going to say that trying to find a Sam's or Costco that can handle any larger towable or motorhome while traveling will probably generate the same kinds of results as using Gas Buddy or Google on the road to find the cheapest gas, only to find that you either couldn't get into the station with the lowest price and had to turn around and go back to that giant truck stop just off of the interstate anywayz...

Or at best maybe you might get in that station and fill up, but by the time you get back on the highway any price savings were probably lost by the lost gas/diesel driving there and back, plus maybe the lost time involved just getting there or waiting in line.

When I'm towing my 5'ver, I generally do the EZ ON/EZ OFF...

I'll fill up at the cheapest price when unhitched, but when I need gas hitched up I'll stick to within sight of the highway if at all possible.

So if you have it set for 10 posts per page, you'll see it above post 1, 11, 21, 31, etc...

I tow a 43 foot fifth wheel with a 3500 crew cab dually with a 8 foot bed... all told I am just shy of 59 feet in length!!! So yeah some people will have a problem getting in some gas stations. By the way I will put my towing skills up against anybody. Just sayin!!

From what Ive seen the newer Costco are RV friendly lots of room as we have a new one here and no problems. We have several Sams but no fuel stations. Later RJD

[emm-dee]

I’ve used the outside lanes at this Walmart many times with my previous Ram/30 ft TT combo and the current 32 ft Forester pulling a 14 ft utility trailer. Never had a problem.



Same no problem fueling at this station near the Bristol Nascar track.

Costco Mobile al is a yes for us w/toad, Costco Montgomery al is a no. Mostly flying J.

[camper70]

I traveled all over the southwest last winter and used Sam's Club every time I could find one that was easy on/off the highway. I never had trouble getting in or out any of them. I just usually waited to get an outside pump. I don't backup well so I avoid those situations. I'm towing with a crew cab F-150 with a 156 in. wheelbase and a 29 ft. coachman travel trailer.

Get the app Park adviser. It will show you the gas stations in the area and you can switch to satalite view to see if you can get in and out of the facility.
I attached images of our Sam's and Costco.

That's a great idea about the app. Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.

I use Tapatalk. In the "Timeline" on my phone, each thread header has the title at the top... followed by a pic if one was added to the thread... followed by how long ago the last post was made, how many replies exist at the moment and the name of the sub-forum.


For this thread, that information is currently:
10m ------ 51 replies ----- Sunseeker.

My post will change the time interval and the reply count but not the sub-forum name.


If it doesn't show the sub-forum on every thread header (not every post), you might change Tapatalk settings.

I'm not talking about in the thread. I'm talking about a thread in the list of threads... in the "Timeline" of Tapatalk. Do you ever see the headers "Unread", "Timeline", "Subscribed", "Participated"?
It's past my bedtime! Good night.

OTKISS,
The Sam's Club off I-12, just west of Slidell,La. has 4 rows of pump islands running perpendicular to the approach lanes. When towing my 33.5ft. TT, I have no issues in accessing the pumps from any position. Just swing wide before you turn to approach and swing wide after the TT axles are clear of the last bollard to exit. Sometimes it is a bit tight on exit due to cars being parked out of the marked areas which limits the wide swing to the wrong direction before cutting back. All Sam's may not be the same, but likely all will have the canopy high enough to clear your RV ... perhaps by a few feet.

I use Sam’s Club gas station including my 32’ motor home. I have used both outside and inside pumps as long as I can get in and out safely. I also tow my Jeep with the motor home

[snoopy1]

Costco is great, just gotta get there early in the Am when they open for gas, around 6:00Am. But they do make it hard to get around, Hmmm even for cars when its busy. Well its always busy!

We use Sam's all over the country and we drive a 2018 Georgetown 369DSXL. We always drive to the outside lane and never have a problem getting filled up and on our way. The best part is the $$ is usually lower than anyone else around. hope this helps.

I have a 40 foot motorhome and tow a 20 foot car carrier and I can get into Sams in McAllen, Tx.

[Elcheapo]

I use the Sams club in Cocoa, FL all the time when I gas up my 32' Class C. Plenty of room.
