    Best truck stop shower rewards for a deisel sprinter?

    Thanks guys. I usually use gasbuddy.com for chespest gas when i already have shower credits. But that was gas, truck stops probably mark up diesel since 18 wheelers dont have better options vs what deisel would cost at a regualar gas station.

    "comfort level" of straight truck vs van?

    This is a concern of mine. Its not going to be a problem 99% of the time but when i get those tight right turns in heavy traffic.
