    I have seen truckers cooking with hot plates, crock pots etc. I plan to try to cook some of my meals when I get out there. My question is where do you wash these pots and pans

    I keep a six gallon water jug on the floor in front of the passenger seat. When it's time to clean up, I go around to the passenger door and pull the jug out so the spigot hangs out the door.

    Dish water gets sloshed onto the pavement, thereby doing my part to keep the parking lot fresh and clean. :biggrin_2559:

    If you have one of those 10' sleepers you need "stuff" to put in it to go along with the stand up shower, the potty, and the 48" wide screen. Not to mention the 50 gal pressurized water tank on the back. That way you are set up for when you wait 5 days for a load.

    I used a gallon jug to wash. I don't dare use the bathrooms sinks like some do. That's germ central. Some truckstops have a sink by the coffee makers. I'd trust that one before the bathroom.

    But you would be amazed what you can do with a half gallon and some dawn.

    I don't mean to be insensitive, but, if you can't figure out how to wash a dish, how do you get a load down the road?
