    We do use the truck stops squeegees but its hundreds of miles between fill ups. With this if we stop to load/unload or at a rest area we can clean up the view.

    The pole is retractable and fits in the side compartment. The squeegee spins off and stays in the water tub. The water and soap is only 2” deep so that it doesn’t slosh too much. We haven’t seen any water in the side compartment after two months of doing this.

    Buckets also can have diesel or DEF in them. It’s a crapshoot.

    Grab windex bottle, spray windshield, turn wipers on, spray again.
