Guys, usually traveling alone can go the entire day without needing to find the a restroom... unless they are filling the gas tank and stretching their legs back into some sensitivity and have a passing thought about a restroom versus being hungry. Maybe due to dehydration, guys also suffer from leg cramps, foot cramps and a voracious appetite while traveling more often. The 44 ounce soda just barely fits into the cup holder's meant for... 12 ounce cans of warm soda, I guess. That tells fellow travelers this driver WILL be catching the next decent rest area, at the worst.
Kids and Wives... are a horse of a different color. They know every clean State Rest Area or Gasoline Station with a restroom that actually cleans them in some timely fashion. Restrooms seem to not generate much money at some busy restrooms by the look at them. If the gasoline pumps look filthy... do not expect the Clean Fairy to have visited their restrooms either.
-Smaller gas stations can be Rat Holes for restroom cleanliness. Even a rat would not spend any time at these places and if you see one, a Rat Hole of a restroom... you will remember to pass this place next time.
-Next. Truck stops. They usually are above average. Especially if they cater to a large number of truck drivers. Restrooms, showers and laundry stops... good indications of what to expect. Truck Drivers judge the cleanliness of the restrooms to the Grill in the food service area / restaurant. Dirt and grime does not say much about the hot dogs that have been turning for a week lacking a customer at the cash register. Does it?
-State Rest Areas... Oasis. Always well cared for and found often where there is nothing else except vacant land. The Highway department when building an Interstate will have, not always but often enough, money left over that needs to be spent... REST AREA PULL OUTS with or without RESTROOMS.
-Fast Food Restaurants are usually up into the Oasis level. Major brand names keep their restrooms clean. Go reread the "hot dog referral" again. I like the double, triple... and larger cheeseburgers with fries. We know where the restrooms are spotless and the food is "spotless" as well. If there is no grease stain in the bottom of the sack... I will take it back.
-For emergencies... find a pullout, pull off... something. Those that found the timing wrong for the Oasis, or the Rat Hole was too disgusting find themselves in tight spots from time to time. Now the driver has to sit along the road and "warn" for any oncoming traffic that might be curious as to what might be going on. For any chance of an embarrassing moment that 1,200 miles from home someone will recognize you behind a bush or rock exposure.
I guess... you could use the restroom in the trailer. That is hard to do if the door is locked and I am moving... Trying to travel, lean and mean.
Now before I have all of the fun, up front... I am sure there are some other opinions and advice made available to those weary travelers, eagerly watching the NEXT REST AREA turn out, or other options that might be on the list.
