ive tramped for last 2o odd years , showers in services are a bit hit and miss but generally not bad , as some one said , take flip flops , some of the older truckstops have showers that are best described as well used ,
best bit of advice i could give you is try to shower in the morning , there is usually a humungus queue at night .
the showers in uk are now on a par with france and spain , dont know about germany havent done it for a few years now likewise italy .

after seeing the bad hygene requime of some uk drivers it makes me wonder if they wash at home some times , like free showers in most truckstops if you pay for parking and still they wash with a flannel and a bit of old soap and think theyre clean ,

This, also stop when passing truckstops and pay a couple of quid for showers, use talcum powder, shower when you can, cook your own food, save a fortune, i do the slimfast diet, shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, alpen bars and fruit for snacking, cook something at night, buy a fridge, although with a low cab unit probably best getting a decent coolbox, staying clean and eating healthy is the trick.

Thanks for your advice, most welcomedI don't want to fall into the trap of eating fry ups everyday.
