    Good deal. You're going to have a lot of fun in school.

    Are you going to keep working while you're in school?

    Hey Wedge
    So what's up with your trainer? Any word yet? I think you said Thursday?

    As to the bottle thing- okay remember there MAY be time like Katey said you can just not stop ANYWHERE! Keep a big bottle like Gatorade with you. I am not kidding as you won't be laughing if you have no place to go. Also some other ''emergency'' type of sack for other things. Better to be prepared than not and never use the stuff. Keep immodium and Pepto with you too.
    Being with someone who has driven 16 years now I have heard some stories........
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Tomorrow my doctor sign's off on my CPAP, then I'll run the paperwork up to Central. I figure the trainer to show sometime over the weekend. :biggrin_25511: I'll let you know how I make out tomorrow.

    It'll have to be some kind of port-a-john like you'd find on a small boat or camper. No bottles or bags. It would have to be a professionally engineered system. :biggrin_2558:

    I'm in no hurry to make a purchase. I'd rather explode.

    CHECK THIS OUT - and yes it does work!! I got one for Christmas one year and when we go camping it works great. All you would need to do for the truck is rig a reciever hitch somewhere on the inside :biggrin_25523:
     
    Wedge Thanks this.
