Room at the inn?

TLDR: Room at the inn?
In the forum thread, a new user named Steve, who identifies as a trucker, introduces himself and expresses a desire for friendly chats, mentioning that he spends many nights in motels. He receives a warm welcome from various forum members, including Ozzy47, safeinsanity, Foxy, and others, who greet him enthusiastically. Steve, also known by his username madcap, shares that he is a former Navy submariner, which explains his use of the term "head" for bathroom. This prompts a brief exchange about his military background and the challenges of submarine service. Another user, Lunacie, introduces herself, mentioning she will be staying in a hotel due to home renovations. She seeks advice on hotel stays, to which Steve responds by describing his routine of relaxing and unwinding during his short hotel stays. Lunacie relates this to her family's needs, mentioning her son-in-law, a former trucker. The conversation also touches on personal challenges and family dynamics, particularly relating to Lunacie's son-in-law's issues and his impact on the family. Throughout the thread, users continue to welcome Steve and engage in light conversation, including discussing amenities in Steve's truck like a sleeper, fridge, and microwave, which make his stays in the cab comfortable. The thread closes with more welcomes from users like lavalamp, Pinky, and Butterfly88, and Steve shares his excitement about picking up a new truck from his company.

Roger that. Scary stuff to me, sealed in basically a tin can going deep under water.
 
Hi, I'm new here. I'll be spending at least 2 weeks in a hotel with my daughter and granddaughter this month. We are having our old single wide manufactured home moved out and bringing in a brand new double wide. Have any tips for spending time in a hotel?
 
The time i spend is just one or maybe two nights at a time and its just me nobody else. For me its all about relaxing unwinding and resting and getting ready to go back out on the road. Its about quiet

My granddaughter and I both need it quiet too. That's what I'm hoping for. My son-in-law was a trucker too, he slept in his cab a lot of the time.
 
I wind up in the cab quite a bit too but I have a nice sleeper and a fridge and an air fryer, microwave, 5g tv and web. It's not a problem.

Do you have family off the road? My son-in-law would get home every other weekend and spend some time with his daughters. Then he got a job driving a front loader but he moved an hour away so we had to meet in the middle for pick up and drop off.
