Since this is so consistent and involves electrical issues that I summarized below, perhaps could you please provide that gas station cross streets and city? We can use google maps etc. to see if there are any obvious transmitters or if you prefer not to provide location, perhaps look around the area for obvious electrical interference sources (maybe 5G towers? Satellite dish farm? Etc.).

Edit: as mentioned earlier, your 12V battery might be a cause so may as well rule that out by getting a thorough battery test including a load test. There is much posted on this forum regarding the proper tests to have run (not the simple voltage check).

One more question: did you install any added accessories (electrical or mechanical)?

radio will be dead,
car will start with the message that car needs to restart,
remote and easy access on the door handle won't work and has to be open with the key.

Looks like a fairly sparsely populated area, just north of Clear Lake. Possible high voltage towers not far away (see pic). Not far from the coast and possible nearby mountains not too far away but I cannot tell if those are tall with any transmitter sites.

Perhaps some sort of electrical interference is affecting the electrical systems on your BS.

You may want to do some 360° looking around that gas station. And ask others that you know who frequent that location.

Let us know if you get any more clues.
