It would absolutely work in the back of a pickup truck; try putting a
open barrel
of water there and after 5 miles there will be very little water left
in it. The sloshing around agitation
should get the dirt out of a load of clothes in a 20 mile round trip
or so. Make sure there's plenty of
open space inside for maximum water movement. Good idea, Linda, I
think I will try this sometime soon.
