If you download Google Earth you can enter in the 'Get Directions' box the start and end postcodes and click on search which will then give you the route. All you have to do is zoom in on street view and have a look at where all the fuel stations are on both sides of the road along that specified route and if you tick the appropriate boxes at the bottom left it highlights all the 'A' roads and motorways numbers too which also helps. This way you can decide which is the best place to stop with the caravan in tow to refuel.

Esso at Bangor (just off A5/A55 roundabout) looks OK on Streetview.
This should help with at least one of Irish motorways?
(May be worth filling up before your return sailing if these prices are anything to go by.)

Tesco at Holyhead have a fuel station, follow directions to the retail park before boarding the ferry.
The A55 Bangor services are ok as long as you dont try and enter the main carpark to visit Burger King and the facilites there. HIgh curbs and some very tight turns in a relatively small carpark, that is always parked up with guests staying at the Travelodge, would be very difficult for a larger unit to negociate.
Like all service areas, expect to pay a higher price for your fuel, they also sell basics such as the usual newspapers, bread, milk and snacks, and there is a small lorry park to the far side of the building which is often taken up by coaches waiting to pick up tourists that they have dropped off at the local attractions.

According to the chart diesel is £1.31 per litre and unleaded £1.27. Its been a long time since I have seen those prices.

I'm sure if you fill up before leaving you would get to your destination with some left? I don't know your tank size to be fair
