Hi, we are planning a trip to myrtle beach from Hudson Valley NY in about a week. Probably be taking NJ Turnpike I 95 down.

I have a Newmar 3710 , gas, about 38ft long towing a 2dr jeep. Up till now i only towed short distances. Looking for suggestion for fuel stops that are easy in and out. Looking for places that have plenty of room yo maneuver.

Thanks

Some Flying Js, now Pilot Truck Stops have RV gas pumps out front near the auto pumps. One station on your route is in Dillon SC at I-95 Exit 181. I use Walmart Murphy USA gas a lot because room to get around the pumps. You will need to plan your approach and departure to the pumps so you have a clear exit.
Satellite view on google maps will help a lot in deciding where to stop for gas.

We have stopped many times in Ashland, VA. There are a lot of fueling stations and other amenities there.

For future trips we use a trucking software app called TruckMaster. It lays out all the truck fueling stops on your route.

I would first determine how far you are comfortable driving between fuel stops. Then when you determine where you will be (or a general area) I would go to either the Pilot, Loves, or TA-Petro web sites. They have very good fuel locator maps, you can drill down to look at the station in satellite view (very similar to Google Maps). I plan all my stops during my journeys but since I have diesel I use the truck lanes, much easier than gas so I know you have more of a challenge. Good luck and enjoy Myrtle Beach, we have been there at least ten times over the past 15 years or so.
