How the RV gas station finder works
Most gas station finders show every pump in town, including the tight corner stations where a motorhome or a truck and trailer can get stuck under a low canopy or boxed in by a curb. This RV gas station finder starts from the other end: it looks only for places built for big vehicles.
- Search near you or anywhere: use your phone's location, or type a city, address, or ZIP code to check ahead before you get there.
- Checked against your rig: we compare each station's posted clearance, where we have one, with your height plus a 6-inch safety margin, and leave out stations that don't sell the fuel you need.
- Major truck stops first: results focus on the big travel center chains, Pilot, Flying J, Love's, TA, Petro, and One9, because they are designed for large vehicles. You can also choose to see other RV-friendly stations where we have them.
- Stations we're confident about: we show the stations we're most confident about. If there are none nearby, we show less certain ones and say so.
Each result has an RV fit rating. Confirmed means an RVer has reported that it fits, within the last two years. Likely means the station has an RV or oversize lane, is a confirmed truck stop, or its layout looks roomy from above. Unknown means we don't have enough to say yet. Stations with a "did not fit" report are never shown.
What makes a gas station RV friendly?
An RV friendly gas station is one you can drive into, fuel up at, and drive out of without backing up, scraping your roof, or clipping a curb. These are the things that matter most:
- Canopy clearance: the roof over the pumps has to clear your rig, including the air conditioner, satellite dish, and anything else on top. Truck stop diesel islands are built for tractor-trailers, so they usually have the most headroom.
- Room to turn and pull through: a pull-through lane lets you drive straight out after fueling instead of backing up with a trailer or toad behind you.
- RV or oversize lanes: some travel centers have dedicated RV lanes with both gasoline and diesel, set apart from the busy truck islands.
- The right fuel at the right island: diesel RVs can often use either car or truck islands, though truck nozzles are larger and may not fit every filler neck; gas RVs need the car islands, which are usually tighter.
- Extras that save a stop: propane, an RV dump station, big parking areas, and easy access back to the highway.
Truck stops that welcome RVs
The major travel center chains are the most dependable places to fuel an RV on an interstate trip. They sit right off the highway and are designed for vehicles far bigger than yours.
- Pilot and Flying J: one of the largest truck stop networks in the US. Many locations have RV lanes, and some offer propane and RV dump stations.
- Love's: a large family-owned chain across most of the country, with RV-friendly fuel lanes and, at some stops, RV hookups, dog parks, and propane.
- TA and Petro: TravelCenters of America's two big brands, with large fueling areas and full-service restaurants at many locations.
- One9: Pilot's fuel network, a mix of Pilot-run travel centers and independently owned truck stops. Some locations sell mainly diesel.
Services differ from one location to the next, so check what a particular stop offers before you count on propane, a dump station, or an RV lane. Good Sam members get fuel discounts at participating Pilot and Flying J locations, and the big chains have their own rewards programs.
Tips for fueling an RV at a truck stop
- Read the clearance sign every time: even at a truck stop, check the posted height before you drive under the canopy.
- Pick your lane before you pull in: look for signs pointing RVs or cars to the right islands, and avoid squeezing between trucks if there's an RV lane.
- Be ready to pay inside: some truck diesel pumps are set up for commercial fueling cards, so you may need to pay or prepay at the counter.
- Expect a fast nozzle: truck diesel pumps fill much faster than car pumps. Stay with the nozzle and fill gently near the top.
- Pull forward when you're done: move away from the pump before you go inside for coffee, so trucks and RVs behind you can fuel.
- Plan your next stop early: out West and in the mountains, truck stops can be far apart, sometimes 100 miles or more. Fill up when you have the chance.
Where we have station data
The finder covers the major truck stop chains across most of the lower 48 states. In Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, our list also includes every confirmed fuel station, so you can choose to see other RV-friendly stations there too. We add more states and stations as our data grows. If a search finds nothing nearby, try a wider distance or a town along your route.
