If you are a couple, it is easier for.one to drive while the other plays look out. This leads to the "couple of what?" jokes, because the lookout has to prepare - gas stations especially. There are certain brands like Wawa which are known for having 15 or more islands, plenty of room to circle the station, and diesel on the outside two or three pumps. Google earth is your friend when scouting ahead.
Likewise most truck stops are good for trailers but not knowing can lead to real problems. Never need gas anywhere near Aspen Colorado is all I can say about that.
Having a fuel can may be your best fallback. It is no fun to hump a six gallon gerry can of diesel uphill half a block to a church parking lot (times 3!) but it beats not having a can in the first place. Sometimes people will jump in and be very helpful, but also carry a siphon with a pump just in case. I have 2, one for fuel, one for DEF.
Your worst day camping can make the funniest story... a few days after the fact. (No water on board + a very rich potluck dinner and 200 miles down the road... cheap box-o-wine is good for more than braising chicken!)
