Fuel the rig.
Feed the weekend.
Tow rigs are thirsty, the western dunes are a long ride from town, and there is no fuel on the sand. Check the live Idaho benchmark, compare nearby stations, and calculate the complete trip before turning onto Red Road.
WHERE TO FILL UP
Two supply towns.
One rule: fill first.
Station prices and trailer access change. Compare current listings before departure, then finish fuel, groceries, ice, and water in the same stop.
Rexburg
A larger choice of fuel, groceries, parts, lodging, and meals for groups arriving on US-20 from the south.

No fuel is sold on the dunes. A preventable return to town costs daylight and can split a group before the ride begins.

FUEL FIELD NOTES
Save the detour.
Carry it safely.
Fuel is ordinary until a group needs it miles from pavement. Plan the supply stop with the same care as permits, weather, and the closure map.
Fill before staging
Combine fuel, groceries, ice, and potable water before turning west. Confirm room to maneuver a long trailer.
Use approved containers
Secure fuel upright, protect it from heat, and keep it outside passenger compartments.
Match every machine
Verify octane and fuel requirements for each OHV and generator. Label cans when the group carries more than one fuel type.
Keep a return reserve
Soft sand, wind, recovery work, and route changes can all increase consumption. Do not plan to reach camp empty.
