TRUCK STOP SHOWERS WHAT ARE THEY REALLY LIKE? RV Teardrop trailer Vistabule Nomad overland

[@evonnewhalen9794]

I use to drive a truck 12 years ago. I always use flip flops in the shower and I never had any feet issues

[@CosmoWeems]

I agree flip flops are a point I missed in the video. Thank You! 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos kzbin.infovideos SUBSCRIBE kzbin.info =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

Truck stops are great places to get supplies, fuel, food, weather information. Traffic and road construction ahead. Maps, cb radio install or repair. Minor vehicle repair.

[@CosmoWeems]

Hi Wes. My first truck stop visit. Great to have such comprehensive facilities for travelers. I think most car drivers are unaware of the excellent accommodations truck stops offer. Hopefully this video will help with awareness. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos kzbin.infovideos SUBSCRIBE kzbin.info =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

I always wear flipflops (shower shoes) in Trucker showers.... Same with campgrounds for that matter. LOL, The water slide was great! Your 'living on the road' tips will come in handy when I get to that point... Wife has horses that she can't be separate from so I camp by myself mostly

[@CosmoWeems]

Ya sandals are critical on the road. I primarily travel alone for similar reasons. I had so many comments on traveling alone I did a video on it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaXXq4ilZqqBmMU When I think about dying, my most satisfying life experiences have been my retirement travels in my teardrop. I am glad I am doing it on my own. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

I love that they have a fan in the vanity for those people like me who sweat after they shower.

[@CosmoWeems]

Thanks Kellie, I was pleasantly surprised by the shower facilities. So nice to have options available while on the road! 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos kzbin.infovideos SUBSCRIBE kzbin.info =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

[@herrbrahms]

I'm in the market for a teardrop now, but in the past I used to rent a U Haul 5x8 trailer on the local daily rate, throw a twin bed in it, and drive thousands of miles. I could sleep where and when I wanted in addition to taking more stuff with me. Trucker showers are one of those road secrets that I felt like only a few people knew. They're largely as you described, which is much better than most people probably imagine them to be. Some are nicer still, like Little America and at Sapp Bros truck stops, but they're the exception. My MO was to enjoy a trucker shower every other day, and on off days I'd freshen up in a hotel lobby bathroom. Why a hotel? Well, the lobby bathroom is cleaned by the same housekeeping staff that cleans the rooms, so you're likely to have a very pleasant experience. Try it and you'll never freshen up in a McDonalds again.

[@duanerichardson1669]

As always Cosmo you put out another informative video, I can't wait to hear all about the new trailer ,until then safe travels .

[@CosmoWeems]

Duane, Thank You for your help. This provides an insight into great services available to all travelers. Regards =Cosmo

Hi Brian, Ya truck stops are great for all travelers. Lots of other facilities available in the truck stops. New rig is AMAZING. More on that once I clear the video backlog. Regards =Cosmo

[@danlien9153]

Wow, very surprised you bought a new trailer! Looking forward to hearing your story.

[@CosmoWeems]

Ha ya lots more as soon as I clear the queue. Its all good news. Thanks Dan = Cosmo

[@parnold-mora8924]

Happy 4th Cosmo! Great info, I always learn something new especially with your gadget reviews. But huh, wait, you have a second Vestibule? How wonderful is that.

[@CosmoWeems]

Thank you! More later. Regards =Cosmo

[@herblapp6134]

I saw you use and refer to the collapsible bowl n drinking cup. This go round you sold me. I have 2 traditional plastic bowls that are a pain because of their shape. Stay safe. Oh don't know if you did this intentionally but your presentation and delivery were the best. You spoke at a more comfortable rate as opposed to running at nervous hi speed. You also didn't interrupt when you asked a question. You were an exec in ur working career so this isn't new. The power of interviews you include is you make that individual the 'expert.' If you always finish their thoughts then what's the purpose of including them. Doing these greatly improves your effectiveness. Thanks

[@CosmoWeems]

Ha, Ya this is all done on the fly without a script with real people having fun. Nothing is impossible for the man who does not have to do it himself! Regards =Cosmo

[@herblapp6134]

Hey Cosmo....l have done these for part of my careerm. It wasn't meant as criticism....just cared enough to provide some feedback. Guess that didn't fly 😪😣😢

[@CosmoWeems]

Not so. I appreciate your feedback but strive for independent thinking. KZbin is rife with copy cats and advice for molding yourself into success... I "be" me and I enjoy it free from influence. =Cosmo

[@DouglasBarnum]

Looking forward to hearing about the camper upgrade. I recently ordered a camp-inn 550. Probably would not have known about them without your videos on them. Thanks. 😀

[@CosmoWeems]

Hi Doug. Congrats on the 550. Hope delivery is fast. I shot more video at Camp-Inn on this trip (great people). I am agnostic on campers. I love them all but Vistabule and Camp-Inn are the tops!!! Will release it once the video backlog is cleared. New camper is a dream. More on that too later. Looking forward to more info on your rig.

Nice one Cosmo love hearing your voice here in South Africa. Love hearing what's new for tear drop camping? On the line of Gadgets. My partner is going to New York in August to visit her daughter. So I ordered some of your suggestions, like the magnetic ties and those electrical connectors👍👍 The Rand Dollar is hectic at the moment. So I'll save some money get it N Y

[@CosmoWeems]

Hi Dave. Greetings from New Jersey USA. Thank you for dropping in. Life is good, loving the fun the trailer is helping me have. If I can help your partner with anything while here have them email me. [e-mail] =Cosmo

[@JohnC88lvb]

OK Cosmo, you passed over the most important information you could have provided! What's the secret for not having to use the "bathroom" in the middle of the night? LoL! BTW, I try to overnight in places like Love's that are open 24/7. Works great!

[@CosmoWeems]

I agree. Duane is right Loves seem to be the best truck stops of the ones I have visited. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYfQl2enrKyneaM Enjoy! 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅

[@catherinerague1190]

I love the views of nature in-between the gear info! Question: what upgrades did you do to your Outback in order to tow your trailers? Transmission cooler? Electric brakes?

[@CosmoWeems]

Hello Catherine. I did not do much. I added spring helpers which add a bit of help when the car is loaded to capacity. Nothing to fluids and and brakes. I have not driven over the Rocky mountains yet. Outback has adequate brakes for towing within specifications. Electrical was easy. In addition to the brake controller I had the harness wired to charge the trailer when I drive. More on the suspension here. I am working on an update to this video. I found a model I like better. Regards =Cosmo kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3PLaKKbjtOesNk

[@barryread3672]

Hey Cosmo. Hope all is well with you. Just wondering what you're up to. You haven't posted a video in several weeks. I'm pretty sure I've watched all your videos and some of them multiple times. Love Vistabule and Camp Inn factory tours. Hope you're out in the boonies somewhere enjoying life.

@@CosmoWeems Don't work too hard. It can be hazardous to your health, lol! Ever since I got my teardrop, I've been reevaluating my retirement plan. Have only made 1 trip and had to cancel a trip 2 weekends ago. My Mom passed away and it really made me wonder if I wanted to go back to work. We only have so much time on this planet and we should enjoy every second that we have. Thanks for all your posts!

[@Jax4umalta]

When did you get a second trailer? How exciting. Are you selling your first one? Damn I wish I could afford one of these so much. Good for you my friend.

UK truck stop showers are proper dives normally

[@CosmoWeems]

Truck stops are variable here in USA. Best to stick with the big names on well traveled routes. Great to have traveler services available when I need them! I will use them more frequently now that I tried a hot shower there (when pools are not available ha ha).

[@RoughRide]

Tip, most drivers have a bunch of free shower credits built up and are willing to give you a free shower ticket. 2nd and most importantly, don't park your rigs in our parking spaces, park with the rest of the 4 wheelers....we have a parking shortage and don't need the rest of the motoring public making it even harder 😉

[@CosmoWeems]

Thanks OL I hope most people respect the parking or the big rigs, I know I do. If I do another video about this I will include the very real shortage for overnight parking. As I approach hug cities in the evening you can see the overcrowded conditions. Thank you for your comments.
