    Is it your truck or a company truck?
    I built a shower in my truck

    not hard to do

    might could make
    A portable one depending on how big the sleeper is

    when I go car camping I use a camp
    Shower ,
    Small propane water heater with a little pump and I use a plastic storage tub with about three gallons of water , let it circulate for a few minutes to heat up and then stand in the plastic tub and shower off

    I’ve never been so busy that I couldn’t stop once a day for a shower. Even hauling livestock. Middle of the day there’s usually not a line. Poop, shower, back on the road in less than 30.

    I currently haul livestock, and most washouts will give you a free shower while they wash your trailer. The place I wash at most often does not have a public shower, but I’m pretty good friends with the One Mexican anymore, so I can shower there :)

    Poop and shower in less than 30 minutes? ####... It usually takes me about 2hr and half to that, that's why I usually take a shower at night lmao!!

    I’ve never been a big junk food person so I’m pretty regular in that department. It doesn’t sound like I’m spackling the walls of the toilet like some of the dudes you hear in the bathroom. The longer you have to sit and push just increases your change of developing hemmies.

    ####... Yeah, you're right, but it's just how I like to do things, I like to watch YouTube when I'm doing #2 which is why it takes me that long overall lol.
