We are the opposite why walk across a campsite to a shower that you might have to queue for hang up all your stuff try to get dry without getting anything wet etc when you have your own? If there was an option to have cheaper sites with no shower or electric we would take it every time. As it is we only use them if visiting our son in Edinburgh or whwere there are no c/lsThere is another side to this, hot water volume, your heater will heat it's smallish tank up but relatively slowly so you will run out of hot water before you run out of water. You'll have to suck it and see. I laugh, quietly to myself, when I hear people say "I would not use a campsite shower, our MH shower is good for us". They obviously don't know what a real shower is like. Many of us describe a campsite by the quality of their showers.
We have just come back from 5 nights away ,we have a 200ltr fresh water tank and we lasted the 5nights with a cup full to spare both showering every night and all the other stuff the water is used for so I guess that works out at about 40ltrs a day for both of us

Some will convince you they only need fill up just once a week. I would suggest that it would be the amount of shows they take not the water used for each show.Hmmm - I'm a pensioner who thinks he's a teenager! Lot's of good feedback here - thanks guys
Oooooo-errrr ... and what shows do you put on dear?Some will convince you they only need fill up just once a week. I would suggest that it would be the amount of shows they take not the water used for each show.

Oh heck @Spriddler do you want this job as my scribe or not.Oooooo-errrr ... and what shows do you put on dear?
Funny you mention that as was thinking of fitting one on the RVAgree with most, wet down soap up and rinse off, 8-10Ltrs. At home running measured at 18-20Ltrs - know this because I measured before having a water meter fitted!

God we have gone soft .We lived in a2up2 down 10 kids. Tinbath under stairs.copper boiler I corner all lined up. Smallest in frontoldest at end. Thank God for our motorhome with all mod cons.MH Showers, what luxury!
When I were a lad, no one had a shower in their home, most used to have to have a strip wash at the sink with a flannel, then cue up for the Sunday night bath before school on Monday. The house had no central heating either, only a coal fire in the living room (to dry off in front of), and another coal boiler in the kitchen which warmed the water tank.
I cannot tell you how many times my mum would blame me for ruining her wall paper in the bathroom as it was soaked with steam, hardly surprising really as the bathroom was so cold in winter as soon as you ran the hot water tap the room steamed up so much you
couldn't see your toes!
Sounds crazy these days, but we were happy enough, it was usual for mums to come in the bedroom and fling open the windows, even mid winter, "to let the fresh air in".(she was of Scottish decent)
Now I am a big southern softie,I cant stand cold weather, cant afford to open the windows at home as it takes long enough for the house to get to 24 degrees
PS: and I only visit my Scottish relatives mid summer, I would have to hibernate if I lived up there full time! The winter Wind would blow me over at times.

The hungriest for water on mine is the washer/dryer 54litresI appreciate that the OP was relating to the shower time in terms of the water content from the tank and not the duration of the shower in terms of hot water supply.
Anyone with concerns/issues around hot water supply who has Alde Heating may consider fitting Alde Flow. I have it in my van and we have a continues flow of hot water (tank content dependant) If the fresh tank has water, we will have a continues flow of hot water until the tank runs dry. I like a long shower in the morning!
I posted a post on the topic when I first collected my van asking if anyone else had experience of the system. If anyone wants more info it would be worth searching for that topic.
The dishwasher uses 9 Litres per wash

I find it wastes a lot of water getting the temperature stable. I am going to try taking my watering can in the shower and running the shower in that till the temperature stabilises. That water can be put back in the tank.
It seems a particular problem in my mh as the water pipes run in the same spaces as the heating ducts, fine for winterising but leads to sections of the cold water pipes getting very warm.
Depends who's askingHow dirty are you really??

I would think that you both had a shower, there would be no space left for water. Then a rub down with a damp flannel afterwards would use very little waterDon't know about an individual shower but with both of us having a shower, & everything else water is used for our daily useage is around 35Lt.
?? not sure how to interpret that.I would think that you both had a shower, there would be no space left for water. Then a rub down with a damp flannel afterwards would use very little water
