And, I truly thank the ghods I am no longer in Uncle Sam's Navy, and can take a nice long hot Hotel shower anytime I want to!
No more water hours, no mor drinking water that smells of jet fuel, no more freeze and scald out of control water heaters, either.
I love having a tankless water heater and a wet bath (Any bath style for that matter) that is clean, convenient and all ours!
I no longer have the patience to schlep over to the campground showers, tent camp, or not have a clean toilet just 25 feet behind me.
Besides, DW loves her hot showers, and with the AS in tow, she is happy.

Exactly! When we decided to move up from tent camping, the shower and campground toilets were two of the reasons. Love the shower in our A/S and use it exclusively.

Wife wouldn't get in the truck if there wasn't a shower in the trailer.

We tried using the shower in the AS when we first got it, didn't like it. It fills up the gray tank too fast and not enough water for the wife to wash her long hair. We both use the campground facilities and have no complaints. We've tried flip-flops, Teva sandals and have settled on Crocs to get you there and shower with. We haven't caught any creepy crud yet. If I didn't catch it in 3 years of military service I figure I know how to care for my feet.
We still use the shower every day: plant keeper, spare carpet storage, laundry hamper and miscellaneous storage.

It's our luxury home. Both of us every morning. Important enough to put an RV550 (constant hot water) in before our first use.

My trailer was GOING to have a full size shower period. (32" x 32")
A nice hot shower is one of the great comforts of a modern society that I will not forgo by choice.
Brevi tempore!

Voted 100%
I call it my Norman Bates Syndrome - am nervous about using public/hotel/motel showers.

Or....have luxury accommodations in a small space, and choose public showers over your wet bath in exchange for the convenience that the small footprint brings.

I started out camping in a pop-up with no bath or hot water. Had bag "sun" shower....and tent for a quick rinse or used bath house. Now I use the shower in the Bambi, pure luxury. 😀 It is the convenience of not lugging the stuff back and forth as much as anything else for me. The hubby likes the extra space in the campground showers....guess that extra foot of height is reason enough for him to feel crapped in the smaller shower. But if not at full hookup site....or dry camping ....the plan changes a bit.

We've always used the showers in our campers. Even our pop up had a shower. Although the boys and I would use the outside one. The girls never went for that. Ha
Now with the AS we both use the indoor one. Maybe not every day, depends on activity levels. Long hike, fishing all day, kayak all day, shower that evening. Lay around in the hammock all day reading, I may just wear a hat the next day.
But we've never had a problem using the trailer shower. I'll haul water if needed, but we are pretty careful about using much water for anything when we aren't hooked up, which is the usual case.

Another daily x2. We'd stop camping if we would depend on camp ground facilities. It should be like at home, shouldn't it? :-)

No!
If it was home, you would be there.
All a matter of personal preference, and the size of your grey tank.

In our 25' 2004 Safari we have the dry shower. The shower is big enough, but the dressing area is just to small to deal with. I like to use the CG facilities because it affords lots of room.
When traveling with our two grand daughters it is much more convenient to leave the trailer and to up to the shower facilities and use it, then the girls and wife can have privacy and I can have a shower with decent water pressure.
Water pressure: Does anybody else have a lack luster water pressure in the shower or is it just mine? or is this just what we must deal with while camping.

As time goes on, I use it more and more.
Usage may be somewhere between 50% and 100%.
I use campground showers when they are nice and clean.
Otherwise, take a shower in the trailer.
Take a shower in the trailer when it is cold or raining.
Slowly transitioning from 100% campground showers during tent camping days to 100% trailer shower usage in my 6th year of trailering.

To my knowledge, exactly the opposite has been Wallys ambition. ;-)
But you are right, it is a question of personal preference.

2 persons every day. We filter our incoming water and the only shortcoming is we cannot shower together.

My hubby is 6'4" and rarely uses it. When we have full hook up, I do, otherwise, I use the facilities with flip flops and a shower bag in tow. Trying to dry and balance while getting underwear and flip flops back on, I came up with a solution of using small hand towels, bought at a thrift shop, to stand on while doing the above. It has worked really well for both of us. They just get tossed into the dirty laundry and washed when the laundry bags are full.

We shower just as often as we would at home if we are hooked up. Wet bath? I would never do that. We keep much stuff on the counter that doesn't fit under the sink. When you live in your Airstream half the year you are carrying a lot of stuff.
