That means I have to be 36' past the pump in order to fuel, which can put my RV at the store's front sidewalk. I have found if a station has double stack pumps I can fuel from the pump furthest from the store front and still be able to swing out and around to get out. I always pull in to the outside pumps on the right...this allows me to either choose that side or loop around to the other side facing out. If I can't get to either side I simply pull on out and try another station. I have never had to disconnect to toad to get out by using this system and looking ahead. Good luck!
Even with our seemingly short 24 footer we'll still block both pumps when we're pulling a toad. The fuel filler is right behind the rear wheels on the driver's side which means if I pull forward enough to the 2nd pump the toad is blocking the first set and if I try to use the 1st pump the RV will block the 2nd pump. Just no way around it at a standard gas station.
