How often do you use your shower | Poll

[Barretta2]

I voted "never" for a few reasons. First, I most often camp in places that have very nice facilities. Some of the public showers there would rival my home shower for comfort and cleanliness (but yes, I do wear flip-flops while using them). Second, I use my shower space as a bonus storage room. I mounted a hanging rack and added a "table" inside. Very handy. Third, I used to tent camp, back in my younger days. So, if and when I do boondock, I'm just fine with slightly scratchy legs for a couple of days. I can easily do a "cat bath", and I'm ready for adventure.
Caveat: my husband usually does not camp with me. If he did, the shower would once again become a shower.

We shower every day; I Have installed a little SOV between the shower head and pipe to control water flow. (Easier to use than little supplied SOVS in the head.)
Navy style shower works weĺl.
Then some under arm 'Raid" to keep the ' bugs' in check.

To the op. I guess you got your answer. Omit the shower from your remodel and you'll have a hard time selling the trailer.

I never use my shower. I keep the litter box in it, so it is easier just to use the facilities in the campgrounds when I feel the need to take a full shower. I usually take sponge baths and then take showers when I feel they are necessary.

I take minimum of 2 a day, I can't imagine not taking one. Even if I go camping I will go bath in the river, freeze but twice a day.

It seems to me that using the things in a trailer is the reason they are put in the trailer to begin with.

I probably take about .9 showers a day whether at home or staying in my Airstream.

I might be out of touch, but I find myself surprised at the numbers of folks who seldom or never use their showers in their trailers.

I spent about 180 days in mine in 2015, I showered in it just the same Had I been at home... For me, this is a big part of the reason for going through the trouble of dragging the thing half way across the country.


Brevi tempore!

I prefer to shower in the trailer. Privacy is golden!

I have used a campground shower once, and it was OK, just not as good as my own. BTW, I voted 100% in spite of this one time use, because there wasn't a 99% option.

[Bhkh226]

Never. We are planning to install "spring secured" shelves for storage. Right now it's home to vacuum and broom!

We went through an involved process to have a shower built in our classic that would accommodate my 6'4" linebacker husband. You better believe we use it every time we camp. The Interstate is another answer. I use it every day we camp; my husband uses the CG facilities.

[AWCHIEF]

No known percentage. I use my shower when the campground showers do not meet my standards or boondocking.

I carry a two piece dirty floor solution to the public shower: an absorbent dish drying mat and a cut up folding windshield reflector to go under the mat to keep it clean. I rinse off the down side of the reflector before departing.

To solve the problem of not enough hooks in the shower area, I bring a few Ikea Grundtal "S" hooks with me.

Good info here. A shower is needed but for us at least, a tub is not needed.

For those of you who have tubs, do you use them as a tub? In other words do you sit down in them, or put your kids or pets in them?

If you don't have a tub currently do you wish you did?

[Lily&Me]

There are times.....I have actually considered checking into a motel, just to have a soak in a tub, scrub my feet, etc.

If you have options, I would have a tub.

It only takes up vertical space, so why not.

We do the every day due to water usage. We have run out of water a number of times. We use the wet ones on alternate days. We get the "large "ones at Wally.
If hooked to water, than almost every day.

Not opposed to nice clean cg showers but seldom use them. Our classic shower is roomy and just more convenient so shower almost 100% in the AS. Have had many rv's over 40+ years and our AS classic has the best bath. Even better than the 5th wheels we had. But then we think almost everything is better in the AS.

We both use the shower every day. Using a quick wet-down, then wash with the shower set to drip mode, then rinse, we can get three days use before the grey tank is full. On the last morning out, I wipe down the entire shower with a used towel. Only need to use a cleaner at the end of the season.
On the rare occasion that we are staying at a really nice campground with a high end bath house (like Yellowstone's Edge) , we'll use it to take a long hot shower.

In one of my prior trailers with a rear bath there was a 4' tub. It was very difficult for me to set down in it since I am taller than average (I was 6'4" but I'm more than 1" shorter now). 99% of the time the tub was used as a shower.

Now, we live in our 34' around 5-6 months per year. It only has a shower. My wife would like to have a tub, though I prefer the shower. A 4' would be fine for her since she is only 5' tall. A tub will not fit where the shower is now so I've been considering adding a custom made tub under the rear queen bed, which would be in the inside the storage area but accessible from the bedroom by raising the mattress/bed platform.

Hi, our shower has a small tub area maybe 3' by 3' and about 6"s deep. [just guessing at the size] We use this as a bath tub for Dusty.

[mimiandrews]

I have used the tub for a bath instead of a shower when camped with full hookups. Also bathed grandkids in the tub when they were small.

I've done 2 things to provide for smooth stable shower water pressure:
1 - I installed an accumulator tank http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...eel-tank/14747
2 - I use an Oxygenics shower head http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...d-nickel/68323
