Fuel like a PRO in the truck lanes and save BIG $$!!!
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click Show More ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
One of our fears of the unknown before we started RVing was how to fuel the rig. Can we use those big truck lanes that the tractor-trailers use? Will the truckers be angry that we're using "their" lanes? Do they work like a regular pump? Can we pay at the pump? Is the price the same?
We answer all of those questions and more in this video!

Chad, love you guys but I’ll give you a DEF tip, or two. The rubber flap door is more common in the colder states because DEF will freeze and the little rubber flap door helps keep the heat in when the temp drops. 2nd, the OPW DEF nozzle has a “hold open” feature that most folks, even professional drivers don’t know is there. It on the very back of the nozzle at the hose end where a little lever holds the handle in the on position. 3rd, did you know that Pilot Flying J (Now know as the PILOT Co) makes its own DEF and has a whole fleet of DEF semi’s and drivers as well as wholesale customers that is branded under the Saratoga name? How do I know?? I am a fuel driver for Pilot and deliver to multiple stores in a tri-state area. Great company to work for....BTW, some Pilot stores have propane & Dump Stations for RV’s...

I'm a trucker and I'll get behind the RV in the fuel line all the time they are quicker. Just hate when they go inside for a long time and come outside with 20 bags of stuff. The only thing about campers and rv's that drive me nuts. That's parking in the truck stop or rest areas and fully setting up there slide outs takes 3 spots.

I'm a professional driver, and personally. I'd rather see an r.v. than most trucks fuelling. Just be respectful.. fuel and go.. or pull forward. So the next guy can fuel. Understand your out there for fun.. truckers have a job to do. So just don't be like most OTR driver's.. do what you gotta do.. and get moving.. if you wanna shop, or need more time.. pull out, and find a parking spot. Again, be respectful.

Def covers are because it can freeze up in winter, and thus it helps Keep it warm, and some colder places you will see an insulation blanket on it. 2. join the rewards card, and you get from 1 to 4 cents on every gallion rewards(at Loves) 50 gals gets free shower, up to 5 days, to spend inside, depending on how many gallons you bought last month, which dont expire for 1 year. 3. Refer is for the refrigerated units, which doesnt pay highway taxes on those gallios, i have only ever seen 2 separate pumps, which put red dye in the gas, hugh fine if you try to cheat. 4. when you pull up, the truck fueling expects that you will be back out in 15 minutes, which is how long it usually takes to fuel, be sure to pull all the way up to the line in front, so he can pull up to fuel hiss refer if needed.. I am an OTR truck driver/ Trainer, this is what i teach my new student drivers.

Great video. Another option we use is an additional gravity fed, in bed 91 gallon tank. We can travel for days without refilling, take advantage of good fuel prices when available, and travel completely through states with higher taxes/prices. We also are more likely to fill up while we are unhooked instead of at higher priced interstate stations.

Great video - thanks. Not an RVer yet and this was really helpful, especially the tip on the TSD card. DEF is a solution of urea in water (why it smells like cat pee) and is highly corrosive. The white crystalline stuff around your fill point is dried DEF. You might want to rinse any spilled solution off with a bottle of water after filling. Stay safe.

Great Tip and Video. I followed your instructions, gave them your name and received the card a week ago. I also set up a separate checking account just for fuel and travel needs as a safety net against fraud if my card "goes missing". It feels weird saying that I can't wait to buy fuel. The people at TSD were very kind on the phone and made the process extremely easy. My wife and I usually use the truck lanes and in our experience, I have never met anyone who thought we shouldn't be there. In fact, we blew a radiator on our 250 in NY state and I had to replace it in the truck lot. Every trucker who passed offered to help me wrench on the thing. I also have noticed that there are lots of Veterans who drive and, also in my experience, Veterans look out for each other and for everyone else. My Brothers and Sisters also usually have some great stories. Thanks for putting yourselves out there for the rest of us and for saving us money on fuel. Fair Winds and Following Seas to you both.

It is just in the refrigerator, reefer unit, on a trailer to keep it cold. Some companies want the driver to fuel separate so they can keep up with this reefer amount since it doesn't go in the truck. Keep the video's coming. New RV'er and these help so much..

Not sure on the price breaks. I had heard about them but consistently found way cheaper diesel at the smaller no name shops than the flying J or pilot or TA. Just got back from traveling between Chicago and Cheyenne WY via I80. Routinely there was a 30-40 cent different per gallon on diesel. While the large truck stops charge way more but may have some discounts of 10-20 cents per gallon, they were still way above the Kum-n-Go and other smaller ones. Just keep an eye out for the smaller ones as you travel and your tank is relatively full. You should also see a pattern. My set up was about 50 feet long in total. While not the largest, I had no issues maneuvering in those stations. Many of them had several trucks also. And I could use my credit card at the pump, with no issues of having to go into the store. While I’m sure there are good discounts, I had better luck at the small places.

So is there any repercussions to using the "reefer" fuel if you are not driving a reefer? For instance red diesel for AG is supposed to be illegal to use in your personal vehicle because you do not pay taxes on it. wouldn't the reefer fuel be the same thing?

@@tonyduran4764 Yes, at some stations, reefer fuel is coolered red. This is to aid the inspectors at commercial truck inspection sites to know if drivers are trying to cheat the system by putting non taxed fuel into their fuel tanks. However, the red coloring is just a dye some companies put into their off road diesel fuel to aid in determining the difference. The bigger truck stop stations such as the big five ( Loves, Pilot, Flying J, TA & Petro) don't put any dyes at most of their stations. It's just green like the regular diesel fuel. What it boils down to is, let your conscience be your guide.

I realize this is an old video... “Reefer” stands for refrigeration unit on the front of a trailer on a semi. They have a separate tank under the belly of the trailer. If you click both, it will let you get your diesel, then get your def. once done you can pull forward and fill the tanks on the RV for your generator. You don’t have to reset the pump again to fill them. Hope this helps y’all. Love the videos, especially Chad’s how to videos on maintenance. 👍🏻

I carry 2 of the blue DEF containers in the back of our truck that I fill at the trucking lane. It's 1/2 the price as buying it at stores. I bought 2 and just refill them. About $6 savings.
