Do the Truck Gas pumps have unleaded gas for motorhomes. I was not sure if they only had diesel. I plan on staying overnight and wanted to fill up when leaving and it does not appear that you can get to the regular gas pumps at Bray's Leap Service Plaza.
Thank you

Yes, on the Ohio Turnpike Service Plazas we have stopped at, (not all but many) there is at least one truck island (and sometimes two) that have gasoline. They are pretty well marked as you approach the islands.
We've used them a bunch. When stopping for fuel, I've scoped out the "auto" pumps and the canopy is no where near high enough to get a 5th wheel under. Maybe a small TT or smaller MH.
 
You can access the plebeian gasoline pumps from the Brady's Leap RV overnight lot with some care. If there's a "gasoline truck" fuel area the service plaza folks will be glad to show you where they are. It's not like you won't be able to find fuel on the Ohio Turnpike at every exit and with E-ZPass you can get off and back on quickly.

Thank you for letting me know.
 
Fwiw, we have overnighted many times right on the Ohio turnpike in their designated camping area never had an issue getting gasoline for our Class C

All interstates or Turnpikes should have such facilities! So convenient
 
Just so I understand, the gas pumps are in the same location as the truck diesel pumps as I have not seen that.
See post #3 from 5Picker.

Tbh, it's been a few years since I've stopped on the turnpike but have never had a problem getting to the gas pumps.

I have seen gas pumps at diesel fueling islands. Not uncommon, some straight trucks had or have gas engines

Yes
On the Ohio Turnpike, on the truck side, there are typically 4-6 islands. Usually at least 2 have gas nozzles on the pumps along with diesel nozzles.
As you approach the islands, there is signage saying which have gas.
 
Ohio really has there stuff together on the Turnpike. When we visit relatives out east we overnite halfway there at one of their hookup sites at a service plaza. So convenient

Agreed!
They are a great resource for R/Vers.
The R/V Plazas are every other Service Plaza going both directions.

At $20 a night for electric (water and dump available) and with the Service Plaza facilities, we stay there often for an overnight.

Right! We aren't regular fast food people but when staying overnite it's kind of nice to just walk over to the food court and get something to eat and drink after driving a few hundred miles
