Showers while OTR

Impractical.
Water hook-up and water disposal?
Water inside the cab/sleeper?
I've seen pics of showers in high-end rigs.
I think you can buy portable showers -- Google it
You mean something like this? (Model not included)

You'd still need a hookup and a drain; can't just dump the water anywhere.

50 gallons of fuel normally gets you a free shower at a truck stop. I cant imagine not using 50 gallons a day and I don't think there are too many TS showers that would be worse than hanging a bag on the side of your truck, plus the trouble of refilling the water supply. I do carry some camping equipment tho. I have a 0 gravity chair and hibachi and if I were out more than 4 days at a time- I would find a place for a smokey joe

 

You are going to feel icky,

on occasion.

 

If you get caught somewhere without a shower credit, have to stay overnight at a shipper/receiver, rest stop, etc - baby wipes work for some folks. Others do a quick GI bath... all you need is a gallon of water and a small plastic tub.

 

ALLOT of baby wipes can get you by when you find yourself 'non shower situation'. Buy 2 or three big tubs to keep in reserve.

 

Yes, please don't traumatize me like the 60 year old 250 lb butt naked man I seen behind his truck taking a jug bath.

The image is burned in there forever!

 

Stay away from shiny trucks.

 

Walmart sells wet wypes for adults....as in elderly. They are extra large, extra strong and extra soft, so says the packaging. But seriously, they are and they work great in a bind when you can't properly clean your 2,000 parts, at least you can clean what needs cleanin! There are 48 wash clothes in a package for around 2 bucks if I remember correctly.

 

cool. have to get some.
