Need some suggestions from the more seasoned drivers. I do a lot of rural deliveries, far from a real truck stop and working showers. I can do maybe two days of driving, but after that, I am miserable.
Those wet wipes just don't cut it. Has anyone tried to do a sponge bath while out and about?
Thanks in advance.
Bathing in the truck? Give me your ideas please.

This is easiest Does not need wiped off. You can bath yourself with a washcloth or 2
It’s what they use to bath patients in hospital. It’s awesome

There are all manner of portable shower systems available, given the prominence of overlanding types. Have a look on AZN.

Yes you can.. me personally i hate being sweaty and dirty after tarping or working in the heat and am not gonna sit my sweaty ### in the seat for hours until i can find a real shower.. all you need is a small rag, a coffee maker and a medium sized bowl. Coffee maker to get hot water, mix it with some cold water in bowl likr half and half, and use a rag to wipe urself off. U can use cold water to. Lay down some towels on the floor so u dont get water everywhere. it aint a shower but its the next best thing.. i always do a wipe. Mix some soap in the water. Wipe again. Then throw soapy water out and put clean water in and clean off again
i always change my clothes after too... One of the worst parts of trucking for me is getting sweaty and dirty then having to sit there and drive in ur mess. Its a disgusting feeling to me. Id never make it in the olden daysRideandrepair, Gearjammin' Penguin, BlackjackCo and 12 others Thank this. -
