Raton NM gas stations for 45' total RV?

Google says there are two truck stops, but both show out of business, anyone know gas stations who can fit RVs? Thanks

There are four gas stations, 2 east and 2 west, at the junction of I-25 and US-87 - Exit 451 that might be usable. Each of those has the pumps parallel to the highway. You should fit in any of them. Personally, I would try the 87 Express at 901 Clayton Rd. first.

A possibly better option is the Exxon in south Trinidad, CO (9960 Santa Fe Trail). I was at that location in August, not in the RV, and noticed it was suitable for my RV. I think, could be wrong - that the Trinidad, CO fuel was cheaper than Raton, NM.

Sometimes I wonder what happened to folks after I give them directions.

The Raton Truck stop in Raton appears to be open for business.

What used to be the Russel's (now TA?) on 25 north of Springer (not far south of Raton) has easy peasy pull through for any rig you can name. I generally make Trinidad my other stop, not much in Raton to take the exit for.

This is my preferred stop when in that area. Have spent the night there as well.

Raton is really just a wide spot in the road. The truck stop on 64 & I-25 is dumpy IMO.
Walsenburg up north has a few good spots up north. There is a place to the south in Springer which was pretty cool it's name was Russell's, sounds like it's a TA now.

You don't say which direction you're going, that would help.
