    The people asking if being able to bath while traveling is worth it probably don't have the best hygiene. Being able to shower in the comfort of your own space whenever you want and not have to pay and/or risk an infection will always be worth it. I understand how privileged I am to have a safe secluded shower that always has hot water at my disposal, but even last year when I was homeless at 18 showering was non negotiable and always worth it.

    • @TexasDevin

Even flushing the dam toilet I pull the handle 30 times, Showering 2-3 times per day. Coworkers laugh at my toilet habit, but it’s been habits I have never forgot. This women and man in this video to go 1 day without washing your stuff is disgusting.

      I think the worth isn't about whether they shower or not but about the convenience of showering when and where they want vs having to go to a truck stop or something. Even if you only use it once per week it'll be worth it because you can shower at your convenience.

      Thank you for sharing your opinion. I am currently refitting my 30 foot sailboat and can't decide if I want a shower or not. On the one hand I love to start the day fresh and clean, on the other hand I will have most overnight stays in marinas with infrastructure. Then I reconsider and want to have a shower if I'm anchored in a remote bay. A shower is a bit of a waste of space, but I'm usually on my own so it's not so bad.

      @@norrinradd2364 The boat I was referring to in my comment was a 42' LOD wood cruising ketch that had hot and cold running everything.
      When we had our 30' Yankee we had a Sun Shower, one of those 5 gal solar heated vinyl bags that came equipped with a hose and nozzle (I did a quick search and there's something similar called a Camp Shower on Amazon). It was good for those days when we were anchored in a cove that didn't have shore amenities and we needed a quick "hot spot" cleaning (I'll let you use your imagination for that 🙂); we used it hung from the boom over the cockpit. We didn't have a lot of water tankage on the Yankee, and we reserved what we had for drinking and cooking.

Another option would be to install an outdoor shower in the cockpit that is connected to the hot water system.

    I would not live in a van without a shower, period. I'm one of those people who sweats just thinking about exertion and basically never go a day without a shower, and sometimes twice a day if it's especially muggy or I had a long day working up a nice sweat.
    The main issues are of course how much valuable space it takes up, how much water it uses, heating that water, and the potential for mold and mildew. Makes building and maintaining a van that much more complicated and expensive.
    I've been toying with this idea of a convertible shower to save on space. Not the kind that you put together and tear down, but a fixed, built-in shower that when it's not in use is taken up with some sort of storage unit or closet that either rolls or swings in and out into the open space of a van, and also doubles as the toilet. Love the skylight btw!

    There are out side units that are self contained used the small propane tank and heat 5 gallons of water. It is way easier to shower out side and use a chemical toilet. Way less problems with leaking gray water tanks. The all leak not if but when .plus run your lighting on a 12 volt solar system. That way you just need a inverter to run the refrigerator or AC.

      It’s actually not good for your skin or your hair to shower too much. Every other day is fine, as long as you use wipes or other things on the off days. It definitely depends on how physically active you are as well. You should change undergarments every day though.

    One way to help your van not get stuck in the sand is to air down the tires to about 15 psi just make sure that you don't go below that PSI rating otherwise your tires will be beat from the rim and you will have to contact the tow truck to get them back on hope this helps 👍🏿

    Once, being around 20 yo, I had two weeks in wild camping. The tent was by the sea in an island, there was no fresh water, so I needed to carry it in two 15 L jerrycans, for cooking and whatsoever. It was so arduous the long job of going to mainland by ferry and carrying the water for more than one km, that its use for hygiene was severely restricted. If one could wash the hair, rinsing included, with two liters, it was ok, once a week.
    It was a fabulous time, but when, completely exhausted and quite dark, I put myself under the shower for half an hour, I changed colour.
    We can improvise almost everything, even a shower.
    We just need fresh water, what is not always very accessible...
    Ah, and soap.

    In reference to getting stuck in the sand. Next time let some of the air out of the tires. This will allow your vehicle tire to spread the surface area of the tire across a larger area.
    Yes, letting air out of your tires can help in sand and snow, but it can be dangerous in some situations:
    Sand
    Lowering your tire pressure can increase the surface area of the tire that touches the sand, which can help prevent the tire from sinking in. This can be especially useful for softer sands. Some recommend reducing the pressure by 50% or more, or as low as 12-15 PSI. You should reinflate your tires to normal pressure as soon as you return to pavement.
    Snow
    Similar to sand, lowering your tire pressure can help your vehicle "float" in snow and prevent it from sinking. However, some experts say that deflating tires for driving on snow can be dangerous. CT.gov says that reducing air pressure can also seriously underinflate your tires, which can affect your steering.
