Best app I have found is Truckers Path it has ratings, prices and other helpful data. Better than the other apps mentioned.

Truckers side is diesel and DEF only but a lot of Fly J's have a RV lane out by the regular pumps that have gas and diesel and are easier to use then regular car lanes. Some of them have dump station for you gray and black tanks and propane.

I had a lot of Truck Stop experience in my former life as a long haul trucker. The truck side of Truck Stops handle only diesel. That is true for parking too; only 18 wheelers unless specifically posted otherwise.

Sorry, but the ruck lanes at these stations usually only have diesel.
I'm a truck driver by trade and use these places as often as I can.

Been there, could we at least get one of the 12 pumps over there for gas?

I'm in the habit now of plotting my route in the Good Sam atlas then tracing it on Google Maps to see what kind of room is at the gas stops before I travel. Had a bad experience or two with tight station layouts.

Lately Iv'e been using Costco Or Murphy USA. The latter is tough to get in with a 43' and a toad, but Costco is big and cheaper than anyone in my part of the country !

I do the same. Takes maybe an evening finding stations along the route for a two week vacation. Use Google street view and satellite to ensure an easy in and out. Also use Gas Buddy as a starting point for pricing. Flying J. or Pilot if the station has the RV lanes. I'll drop into a Sam's Club if there's room. Same for a Loves and T/A.

I truck stops are not available we use publication "Next Exit." It lists everything at upcoming exits and it even has a notation in it for fueling stations that are RV friendly. It is much more than that by the way.
The Next Exit 2018 book - the most complete interstate and highway services guide for travelers
It's also available as an app.
