    I suppose caravan sized jiffy bags are quite expensive.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    That doesn't sound very hygienic.

    The problem with caravan showers is that you've got to clean and dry them once you've finished and they are bound to promote damp which is the killer of any caravan.

    I know quite a few Travellers and they never use the on-board facilities in their Caravans

    Not only that, but we've only done a 'number two' in it a very few times, again preferring to use the site loos. The obvious reason for this is that if you put it in, you've got to get it out, and that's not a pleasant operation.

    The French have their system of Aires de Service and these are geared up for Motorhomes. You can drop Grey water, Black water and also refill the on-board water tank(s). Some Aires are known as Aires Stationment and those are the ones where you can stop over-night-safety in numbers but I usually wild camp EG on our Motorhome we can carry 200L of fresh water and 230L of grey water. We also have a bulk black water tank that can hold some 45L of grimness; emptying that can be hilarious. I have seen some Boxhead catch the lot on his van when the solenoid valve stuck

    There are hardcore Caravanners who use their toilets and showers for what they are intended but I think you're right that there aren't many.

    This seems to be mainly a UK thing according to a couple of dealers that I know quite well

    Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
