Plan and hopefully have a great navigator. We have an ACE 27.1 and tow a Jeep Wrangler. Only once our first trip did I have to unhook Jeep. 1. If is doubt, don't do it! If it looks sketchy it probably is. 2. Find a place to stop and check it out. I have been in some tight spots in some gas stations because someone gets in the way but people for the most part are cool and will spot you or if you ask, they will move their cars. ( or just wait until they move). Remember you are on a journey. If you rush or have to rush, it will come back an bite you. If you are where semi's are, you are ok for the most part. If you don't see one, there may be a reason. 3. My wife found a book that is for truckers that details what's coming up called Next Exit. They list truck friendly stops. 4. Be careful of any residential areas. The big problem is overhead, trees and wires! Good planning and stopping where you are safe and checking it out will save lots of headaches. If you pull a toad and get quick at unhooking Like we have, park in a mall or Walmart and do a precheck run where you are going if unknown. We have done it more than a few times and for a few of them, we lucked out and found another way. ( Also we found a couple really good local restaurants and talked to locals. I know some of this is a pain but getting stuck or worse would be way more difficult of an issue than what we have done. Any way less stress!
