Try Flying J.  We just came across country and I cannot say enough good
things about that chain.  Good coffee, great showers and a safe place to
sleep at night. (Stealth camping. If in Westy, don't pop the top.) The
one in Davenport, IA was especially good.  Good enough that the
corporation is going to get a nice letter. Because of their attitude, we
fueled there exclusively. Their deal is $6.50 for a shower.  After 3
days in 90/90 weather, $6.50 was a bargain. If the clerk is feelin
especially benevolent, the shower is $5.00 refundable towel deposit.
(Flying J issues long-haul drivers coupons for showers and other perks
when buying fuel.  Often the truckers don't bother to use them. If the
clerk 'likes' you and your attitude, you get to use them.)  Be sure to
pick up a "Frequent Fueler" card. Using it almost always ensured
'prefered' attention. And buy your fuel first.  Procedure was fuel using
card. Pull off island and go to pay.  Tell cherk, "We need a shower,
please."  Pay whatever they ask.  (Note: seperate showers for you and
yours....) Thank the clerk.
