Petrol station fill up

It helps if you remember which side your filler cap is.  Just take it easy

Try to use the pumps that do not have any others near .ie at the outer edges of the fuel station,and remember which side the filler is (normally a icon on your dash board screen will also remind you) its a pain if wrong side and having to clamber over C/van A frame with pump hose  (its happened)

At smaller stations,  be wary of blocking the entrance/exit if you use the first pump in line. 

Remember to allow for width and tail swing as you would when carrying out any manoeuvre.

Oh, and don’t put petrol in your diesel tank 😀

Don't go for small stations unless you can see you can get in and out easily.

If your  to vehicle is diesel see if it will accept the HGV pump hose ,lots more room normally if you can use those pumps

You shouldn't have any problems.  Best advice is try to pick a pump that allows easy egress, normally the pump nearest the road.  If you get stuck you can always unhitch.  Most cars show on the fuel gauge which side the filler is but most hoses are long enough to reach over the car,

Timwheeler.  Are you speaking from experience?

I can understand your concerns but in now over 20 years of towing, not that I've actually towed for 20 years straight you understand, I can remember only twice having to fill up with the caravan on tow.

I always fill up before leaving and (if necessary) fill up in the evening before towing again the next day. Also means you can usually get cheaper fuel from a local supermarket. 

But on the two occasions I have the advice above is all good. I would choose a large petrol station and when I did it was at the services.

I have no intention of ever having to fill up with the caravan on the back.  My car has a range of just over 400 miles when towing and that's more than enough for a day's driving with the van on the back! If doing a long trip, I always plan stop-overs after about 200 - 250 miles - park the van on site and then nip out to fill up the car ready for the next day. My thinking is that it's meant to be a holiday, not an endurance test but I appreciate some might be more pushed for time than we are.
