    easy solution...

    DO NOT shower every day.>??

    shower once every 3 months.

    like many others do

    don't believe me..??

    stand behind a trucker at the fuel desk........

    you'll get a "whiff" you ain't never had before in your life.

    then you'll save...$ 360.00 per month..!!!!!

    I managed to shower almost everyday in the 34 years out on the road. My wife works for a carrier dealer. The filth that walks thru the door at the service dept is disgusting. You can smell some of the ####ing pigs before they appear

    I've never paid , thanks to my rewards card at loves. Got a gps with points too. Also used it to get 20 cents off gas while on vacation.

    When I bought my second rig , that wasn’t a cabover with a single bunk ,
    A hood (literally the biggest hood in the industry, a Ford LTL 9000, sometimes if the weather was nice I’d take naps on the hood) with a huge 36 inch flat top sleeper ,
    I built a shower in it .
    Modified the plywood under the mattress to fold up , had an auto upholstery place make a three piece mattress , and cut a hole in the floor and dropped in a 17x16 laundry sink , to just above the drive shaft .
    So even though it was a flat top sleeper you could now stand up if you stood in the sink .

    I had two 7 gallon tanks , each with a 12 volt pump , one cold and one hot , heated with a heater core installed in it using the engine coolant ,

    also had a nice camping toilet .

    and I paid big money for the first available electric coolers , a Kool-a-tron .

    nothing beats being able to take a shower in your own rig , while waiting to get unloaded .

    man if I had one of the rigs available now with the 72 inch long stand up sleepers , I could have an entire apartment in there .

    Gave a driver a shower credit in Ogallala, NE yesterday when I saw him go to pay the $16.00.

    Sadly, I didn’t even get a thank you, kiss my caboose or goodbye.

    Maybe he was just left speechless by my kindness, lol
