Extended Sleepers

My initial knee jerk thoughts are. That’s just too nice for a trucker. Lol

 

I'll have what he's having.

 

That is SLICK

 

TMI time.

Number 'Ones' go into a Tide bottle - I had to cut the opening spout out with a razor, because, well - you know, Thunder from Down Under and all that. It's my cross to bear. This gets responsibly returned to the earth, and , although there's a few freakishly well hung ants roaming around in various states, no penguins have been harmed thus far. This method greatly reduces the frequency of dumping the black water tank.

Number 'Twos' can go about 5-7 days depending on the burrito intake, and Flying J's have the best deal on disposal at $3 a dump with your rewards card. Some rest areas have them but many shut off during winter time. Worst case, you can wheel the little tank into any place with a toilet and dump responsibly.

My truck did have a grey water catch tank under the shower, but previous owner let it freeze and crack and it caused me problems. It could be shut off with a valve - I guess if you were inside an auto show or something where you couldn't drain to ground. I bypassed it. As @86scotty said, grey water gets stinky.

I save the water in a container if I'm waiting a few seconds for hot water to flow, to use as toilet flush water.

 

Well thank you there sir. It's an old photo. Truck was well maintained and had relatively little use for its age at a 1995 model.

 

Ooooh -it was yummy. Lasted 3 nights. Lasagna just gets better each day. Some olive oil brushed sliced and toasted French loaf with butter/garlic/parmesan to aid in sauce reclamation - all good in the Missouri hood.

 

Though I haul heavy specialized trailers (just extendable, but they're 17K trailers) - I scaled out with a van trailer and if I recall, I could still have a 42,000lb payload.

Obviously reefer would be less, RGN less etc - depending on trailer type. I think mine is 20,500 lbs full of fuel, tractor only - I've met guys with Western Stars and heavier specced tractors that are about the same with a regular sleeper.

 

Here's your hook up, my brother. It was the only thing I could find that would 'measure up'.
Kept a spray bottle of bleach water, sprayed that rascal down every day, and my potty was cleaner than any in America.
Look, you only have to get up at 2 am when it's 20 below and slog your way to the truckstop potty just so many times to realize, there's got to be a better way.

 

So long as I can take that cap off, looks to be good. How much can that puppy hold?

 

Cap is cool, about the size of a beer can or better......therefore, the hole is about the same.
About a gallon.

But, no man, it works well. Get up, take a pee, go back to bed. In the morning, dump it in the grass, spray about 3 or 5 times of the bleach water in it, add a couple of cups or so of just regular water, swish it around and pour it out, and you're done.
Like I said, it's way better than trying to find a potty at 2am......regardless of the weather.
