      Truck stop showers exist m8. Even if you're flat broke, a lot of places will give out a shower voucher when a certain threshold of fuel is purchased. So basically, a lot of guys that fill up their big rig are just passing through, and will just give it to you because they're not planning on using it anyway ~ I can't imagine it taking longer than 30 minutes to get a free shower by just talking to the guys at the fuel island in the morning when it's busiest.

      if you want to shower while homeless pay got a gym membership, goodlife has membership for all locations, i think its roughly $100/m (and much cheaper if you stick to local area or just one gym location), its where i went for showers while homeless, no need for not taking a shower

    get a used ford transit van from a automotive auction and put a mattress in it with foam soundproofing and build a hinged plywood door between the back and the drivers seat. You can get used 2011-2015 ford transit vans for around $1500-3000 You can get a camping shower and attach a magnet to it and take quick showers outside

    Be weary of these people talking about buying a van, they are cheap for a reason. They are costly to repair and they WILL break. Take it from someone who knows. If you are making due with a car, I'd keep to it and focus on saving money. Buy a couple layers of thermal for the winter, you'll be fine. Wish you the best my brother.

    Run the A.C with the heat , the A.C usually removes the condensation. A sleeping bag from bass pro and a thermo rest is good for cold weather . You can get moisture absorbing gizmos then put them on the car heater to dry them every day for the night .
    Run the A.C even with the heat on to remove the moisture in the car .
    Get some insulation covers for the windows
    I hope this helps

    Planet Fitness is $10 but it limits you to just one gym. You have to upgrade to $25 for the Black Card membership to go to any location. Also add in taxes to the fee. Still $25 is not bad ...
    My gym is $19 but they don't have showers and no swiming pool or bball court ...

    This is your first try sleeping in ur car. I have experience doing it and make it look easy. Get screen nets for your side mirrors.. 2. Two small traveling bags one for your clothes and shoes one for your blanket and sleeping bag. Sleep at hotel areas under trees at a good vantage point. Turn on your engine to warm up your car for 30mins then go back to sleep. Register with planet fitness gym to shower every evening. Go to a laundry mart to wash your clothes to keep them fresh and clean. Throw away all trash at dumpsters near gas stations or commercial buildings. Wash and vacuum your car once every 2 weeks. Remember keep it inconspicuous no one has to know you sleep in your car. Less is more. Throw out your food items from your car first thing upon arriving to school.

    Dude stop using a bottle🤣 find a public toilet (shopping malls, grocery stores, gas station etc), get a commercial gym membership so you can shower and clean up properly. If you keep yourself dirty you'll keep getting sick.
