    I usually stop every two or three hours. I don't give a #### if I'm running late or not.

    There is usually room in the grommet where the air line comes through the floor for the seat. Run the hose all the way back to the end of the frame rail. I've had drivers and 4 wheelers point to something back there and I think I read their lips saying something about a leak, I just smile and wave.

    You guys are going about this all wrong. You need to go to Costco and buy you a big box of Depends and kill 2 birds with one stone. Always a clean pair of underwear everyday and no pesky pee breaks, lol

    When I first got on the truck a year ago I was always anxious to stop. Now having to stop for fuel annoys me.

    I decide on stops during trip planning, then stop whenever road conditions demand. Sometimes I'll run the 1st 8hrs straight thru, 500 miles, and don't want to stop then. Hit the groove, roll on, you know it.

    The head on that little snake fits right in a gatorade bottle at 65mph just fine.
