    If you are going to put in a fresh water tank then get a small pump and run some pvc pipe out to the back of your sleeper.
    Then you can attach a shower head and a curtain rigged up if your shy.
    Get a spare mudflap to stand on.
    No drain, muss or fuss.
    Look into camping or marine pumps for the shower.

    Do like that 60 year old fat man I seen in the NH TA.

    I let my dogs out at dark thirty. They run to the back of the truck and started barking, lol.

    I walked back there an there was an old man butt naked taking a bath with a gallon jug of water behind his truck. Not what my tired eyes wanted to see.

    :biggrin_25524:

    Cmon dogs, come over this way. :)

    I was stuck in line delivering show cars at the fall Hershey swap meet in 1990 ... no way to get in or out...got there Tuesday... Wednesday night, in the cold October rain, I showered right next to my truck.

    The gallon milk jug works good, too. Just go into the truck stop (or wherever) and ask for some warm water.... you can do a pretty good job with just a gallon but two is better. If you can't warm water from the faucet, warm it on the engine....

    In the northeast, many drivers overnight at the shipper/reciever....
    great way to still getva guarenteed parking spot (esp if you are driving late) but you end up camping out....so a spongebath or other "improvised" solution the best you can do unless you stop during the day and loose some of you 14....

    Yes, I understand that. I have hauled steel in the past. But a whole week? Thats just being a pig.... There is no excuse for going a whole week without a bath.
