Trans Am Still

Just like in trucking, there's also a boatload of classless people driving around the country in million dollar motorhomes.

 

Exactly! That's why he's not allowed to help plan any entertainment!

Hmmph! You think I'm a little stir crazy? Have you seen the conversation on the last couple of pages?????

I will give you my opinion ....much as I do not want to participate in this conversation!

For the most part, jdmredneck, you will be parked at places that will have adequate facilities for your needs. As dennisroc points out, there are times that will be an emergency type situation and though it gripes me to say this, there are those shippers and receivers that will not allow a driver to use their facilities. My advice would be to carry what you need for those emergency situations .....portable and disposable.

There are other places that your money can be better spent. Some basic tools that would allow you to do minor repairs, bolt cutters, etc..(You probably already have those, put together a small kit.) You will put in long hard days and you will be tired. You will either sleep like a rock or not be able to sleep until 2 hours before you have to get up and go again. The King has an alarm, a Screaming Eagle .....it's basically a timer, no clock you just set the hours....they are available at the truck stops. They are around $25. If you are a coffee drinker it's nice to be able to make your own at times. The King has had a couple of different coffee pots but his favorite is the 4 cup Mister Coffee. Again in the $20-$25 range. A small microwave, around $50 at WalMart.

Oh, I almost forgot ....a truck stop guide. It will help you to plan ahead.

 

HTQ, time to rescue the thread from the potty take over. It's beginning to stink! Leave it to a bunch of men to talk about bathroom stuff so long!
Did your youngest daughter and the King go hunting? Bowling with oldest?
