Perhaps a different perspective... but for my traveling I've been fine with Google Maps on my phone - rather than a dedicated GPS...
Certainly doesn't let me specify RV heights, etc - but hasn't caused any issues... No maps to maintain - no extra device to carry/power.

For gas stations, I take a close look before pulling in - especially when towing - and have driven past some - but many I can swing my 33 foot Hurricane around even the car pumps... I tend to use outside pumps... park a little further away from pumps to give me room to swing/turn...
Also found truck islands typically only have diesel - so end up in car area.
Have not yet (knocking wood) had the occasion to unhook/rehook to get out of anyplace. Doesn't take long with my setup to do so if needed.

As for non-hard surface - haven't done much 'off-road'...
One concert weekend we went to had us pull into a grass hilly area as part of the entrance - walked a bit of it first and watched others pulling in before picking the line I wanted to drive...

Taking some time to look - and not pulling in if you think there will be an issue is probably the best advice.

Everyone's situation is different - its finding what works for you.
