    When I take a shower, I wash them. I have a Walmart reusable bag that I put them in with a towel on the bottom and I have a small bottle of dish soap and a scrubber as well...

    We had some missionaries in our church that went off into Nepal on various missions...Where they went there where no roads or utilites...Just dirt paths bascially connecting villages...He said when they were done eating they licked their plates cleaned...So he was given a plate that someone had licked clean for him, lol

    Croc pot bags, Saran Wrap inside of Tupperware when you need to store stuff,Plastic ware and Paper plates. If your really need to clean something bring it inside to a truck stop they usually have a sink by the fountain Drinks.

    I fling mine out the window like a Frizzbee -

    But seriously, when I was living in the truck I dint use plates, just Tupperware type containers and plastic silverware. Wash em at home - I aint washing dishes in a truck stop shower - :biggrin_25513:

    I put 'em in the sink and the wife takes care of them from there.

    The only dishes she won't touch are my cast iron pans. I won't cook in anything else, and she won't cook or clean them. They're perfect with a camp stove OTR, too...just heat 'em up, use a stainless steel scrubby to knock out any stuck-on leftovers, wipe it out, oil it up, and put it away. Water never touches my cast iron.
