However, there are some challenges that go along with owning a 45-foot motorhome. Maneuvering such a large vehicle takes some practice and getting fuel is one area where space can be a challenge. We have found that using a truck stop makes getting our diesel fuel a much easier task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Convenience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Truck stops are conveniently located along all major highways in the US. Being able to exit right to a truck stop allows for a quicker stop and means you don\u2019t have to get into busy city traffic or worry about low bridges or tight streets. We like to plan for our next fill up when we get down to half a tank of fuel, just to be safe. Using truck stop apps like TA, Love\u2019s or Pilot will not only help you locate stations along your route but can also let you compare prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-676x380.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1.jpg 1118w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have noticed that many big stations are now called travel plazas or travel centers. That\u2019s because they have a lot more conveniences all in one place. Many offer restaurants, convenience stores, truck scales, dump stations, propane refill, dog parks, truck washes, and repair service centers. In addition to truck parking, Love\u2019s Travel Centers now offer reservable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camplife.com\/campground\/Loves%20RV%20Stops\">Love\u2019s RV Stop<\/a> camp spots in over 78 locations. With everything right there in one place, you can\u2019t beat a truck stop for convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2-1080x607.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2-676x380.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture2.jpg 1147w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We learned early on in our RV ownership that big rigs need lots of room to maneuver. While it might look like a regular gas station has enough space, it only takes one tight turn and crunching a side cargo door to let you know you were wrong! Even so-called RV lanes can be too tight for a big rig. It is easier to get into and out of truck stops because they are designed for the big size of 18-wheeler semi-trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3-676x380.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture3.jpg 1150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit is that truck stops have one way entrances and exits. We just look for the big signs directing the trucks or, even easier, follow the trucks heading in. Once you go in the truck entrance there is room for sweeping turns as you head into the long straight fuel lanes. You also have high overhead clearances under the canopy unlike many regular gas stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quality Diesel Fuel and DEF<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An advantage of large volume truck stops is that they move a LOT of fuel. Thousands of trucks using the stations each week means your fuel here will be fresher than at a station with a lower volume of business. Most truck lane pumps also offer DEF and the same goes here for freshness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4-676x381.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, truck stop diesel pumps have a larger diameter hose and nozzle than standard car fuel pumps. This gives the fuel a faster flow rate and lets you fill your large RV tank in a much shorter time. There is also no transaction limit as there often can be at regular gas stations. With tanks that can hold 100 to 200 gallons of diesel, RVers will have no trouble filling their tanks here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discount Fuel Prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the truck stop chains offer loyalty cards that will give you a set discount per gallon of fuel at their stations. They also have apps that list their locations and prices. If you don\u2019t want to be tied to one brand, you can use apps like Open Roads, Trucker Path, or Mud Flap that will let you see and compare fuel prices at all their participating truck stop brands at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5-676x381.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture5.jpg 1153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have tried several of those methods over the past few years and found that using the Open Roads app in conjunction with our <a href=\"https:\/\/myopenroads.com\/\">Open Roads EFS card<\/a> gives us the best price. This card, similar to a trucker\u2019s fuel card, allows RVers to pay at the pump like commercial truckers do. The program requires that the card be linked to a bank account as a fuel debit card but has been worth it for us to save up to 80 cents per gallon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Easy to Learn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a truck stop fuel station for the first time can be intimidating. Most truckers don\u2019t have a problem with RVers who use truck stops for fueling, but it\u2019s nice to continue that goodwill by following the proper etiquette. We try to refuel during the slower periods (mid-morning\/early afternoon). Once there, here are some tips to help you fit in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6-676x381.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture6.jpg 1151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you arrive, it is helpful to review the overhead satellite image of the truck stop to get familiar with the flow into\/out of the station. When you are entering the truck stop, follow the signs for trucks and get into an open lane. Make sure you don\u2019t overshoot the pump because you can\u2019t back up if you are towing a vehicle. Most people prefer to wear gloves, so they don\u2019t get smelly diesel fuel on their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7-676x381.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture7.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you select the correct fuel before you begin pumping. There are usually diesel and DEF pumps available, and you don\u2019t want to put either into the wrong tank! There is no regular gasoline in the truck lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should always stay with your rig while fueling, but you can take the opportunity to use the long-handled window washer poles to clean your windshield while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8-676x381.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture8.jpg 1245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important rules is to pull your RV forward to the exit line as soon as you fill up so the next truck can begin pumping. Do this before you go in to pay or buy anything at the store! If you are going to be doing any extended activity like having lunch, you should pull into a parking spot and not sit in the gas lanes. Truckers have a schedule to keep and need to get in and out quickly so they can get back on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Try a Truck Stop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting familiar with truck stops makes life with a big rig so much easier. You can readily find them along your travel route. They are easily accessible, offer plenty of room to get around, and have many conveniences all in one spot. The stations offer high quality fuel and DEF plus their discount programs can even save you money. Next time you need to fill your RV with diesel fuel, give a truck stop a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NIRVC-Robin-Blog-Bio-RVing-with-Robin-1024x475.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NIRVC-Robin-Blog-Bio-RVing-with-Robin-1024x475.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NIRVC-Robin-Blog-Bio-RVing-with-Robin-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NIRVC-Robin-Blog-Bio-RVing-with-Robin-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NIRVC-Robin-Blog-Bio-RVing-with-Robin-676x314.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.nirvc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/NIRVC-Robin-Blog-Bio-RVing-with-Robin.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Robin and her husband, Mike, are Air Force veterans and empty nesters who have been traveling full-time in their Entegra Anthem motorhome for 5 years.
