If you are ferrying out of Portsmouth for eg. theres a big Sainsburys petrol station at Fareham just off the M27, which is about 3 miles from the port. I always fill up there after also travelling from Yorkshire.
That must be Sainsbury's Broadcut. I would be reticent to recommend that one as only one lane is viable with a reasonably sized caravan.
Using Google Maps, Street View check it for yourself at these coordinates; 50.857584, -1.174276
An alternative with a couple more viable lanes to choose, and very little of a detour is Tesco's North Harbour at 50.845437, -1.096759
Of all the easiest, lowest detour option is to just overshoot the port turn off and use the Shell service station along side the port at coodinates 50.809552, -1.086967.
Simply don't use the run-off signed to the port but run off the end of the M275 onto the dual carriageway, pulling to the right to do a U turn on the quickly reached roundabout. Then up the return leg left lane turn into the Shell station; several lanes are viable and exiting and going into the port is easy and only a few 100 metres.
I cannot argue with your local knowledge, but the station doesnt strike me as 'awkward' in any way. My outfit is 13 metres, and i've never struggled.

) so what (at least very roughly) should I expect when towing with a lot of motorway miles?
