Be Free of Truck Stop Showers

1. I see lots of motels with truck parking. Almost daily.
2. Rarely. I ran out Fri night at a shipper and after tarping I simply pc'ed to the truck stop.
3. Absolutely. Texas in the summer makes for a sweaty mess.
4. Nope. I fuel pretty much every day, at wherever my fuel card gives me the cheapest price and I always fuel 75-100 gallons.
5. Wat?
6. Nope, flip flops are your friend.
7. Nope. Never waited more than 20min that I can remember.
8. No, my skin isn't fragile.
9. All the time.
10. I try to always be prepared for the unexpected, no I dont sit for days anywhere in a truck. I know how to unhook and secure my trailer and drive myself to somewhere that has facilities.

Bottom line, I have a 5 gallon jug of water with a spout in my truck. I can sit it on the trailer and soak down a wash rag, wipe myself down and use a cheap body wasy. If I dont feel like doing all that, I have Dude wipes that'll clean me enough that I can sleep and get showered the next day. Im not out there to impress anyone with how clean I am or how good I smell when Im working.

 

I’ve done some improvements on the bucket method by creating a small structure out of PVC pipe to hang the curtains on. I saw some old YouTube video about some portable shower. I’ll be using mine inside my truck. I had to do some calculations to find out the dimensions of the structure.
