- WalabyExplorer IIHave an acquaintance that refuses to use his toilet/black tank. Claims it will increase his resale value! Im like 'how will you prove you didn't use it?'
I use everything in my RV as much as I can. That's what it was designed for.
Mike - pnicholsExplorer III guess we don't understand folks who buy stuff they can't use much.
We use everything in our RV, whether it be in a commercial campground or out in in the middle of nowhere in a natural spot. The shower comes in real handy for washing the dog, washing us, and storing clothes in between. The last time I checked, RV's cost a bit of money. Small but fully loaded is what a self-contained RV is supposed to be about. We actually consider it somewhat of a challenge to live camping like we do at home ... except for not having to do stick-house chores every morning when we get up. - mdcampingExplorer

I don't understand why anyone with an RV would shower in the CG showers.
Why pay for something and not use all of it?
We mostly camp at state parks with only electric hookups, and we still shower in our rig. That's what hoses, fresh water canisters, and gray water totes are for.
Holy moly, my campground shower days ended when I stopped tent camping.
19 yrs camping and we have hardly ever used our rv shower, its juse to small. At this point in our lives we camp based on value & experience and not material. Also I keep a low overhead which I can get out of camping quickly/cheaply if I were to choose so.
Life is a 2 way street, we try to plan for both directions, just my viewpoint. :)

We'll only use our RV shower when we have to. And it's so small that we practically have to grease the walls to use. Glad I'm not a germaphobe or have a problem with needing 100% privacy, because we look forward to hot showers with a little elbow room in the CG showers.
Agreed! When we DID have a Class C with a shower, it was tiny (impossible to shave my legs) and served us better as a closet. - Deb_and_Ed_MExplorer IINeither my current van conversion, nor our previous truck camper included a shower. I have showered in some pretty "interesting" places including a converted semi trailer with a massive spider for a showermate....lol! All I ask for is a bit of warm water and a smidge of privacy. I'm kind of a low-maintenance woman....
- larry_barnhartExplorerNever used a shower in any campground including the resort we have wintered in for 14 winters for a total of 8.08 years sleeping in our 2001 alpenlite. Always felt sorry for others that need to shower in a public place.
chevman - LexxExplorerThis is the reason I'm looking at toy haulers. The Grand Design Momentums carry 140+ gals of water.
No way am I using campground showers. I'll haul extra water with us if I need to. That's why I got the F450. - obgrahamExplorerSince we're in a cozy little B now, the answer is "it depends". Like some others, I'll go in and have a look at the showers. If they're very clean I'll use them and stay in that hot water a loooong time. If they're more typical, then it's back to the navy shower in the rig. Either way, I've got a clean place.
- camper19709ExplorerI shower in my own bathroom which just happens to be in my motorhome which is my home.
- Pop-Pop_CExplorerWe paid for the RV so we use it.
