Showering At Paid Hostels or Campsites

If you want to recharge and reset, we discovered that paid hostels and campsites are great options to fresh up. This could be an expensive alternative than gym membership showers, but it a choice whenever there options are limited. Remember that many campsites close their operation during the off-season. If your budget is not tight, then you can take and spend the night in these campsites and enjoy the shower facilities. In other campsites and hostels, showering is free. You might be lucky!

Roadshower

We’ve seen this as an awesome option. You can mount your showerhead to the roof rack on top-side of the van. With a metal tank that contains water, this is possible. The tank usually has a hose where you can connect a showerhead and pressure the water using a 12v electrical pump or a bicycle pump. This choice is incredible because it’s a free plus, it’s solar heated. However, you must control the water flow to ensure water conservation. You’ll need this water in the coming weeks as you continue enjoying your adventure.

Conclusion

The above tips are great, but it all depends on your budget. When planning a van life, keep in mind that you’ll need a shower. Whether you use a luxurious way or a cheap way to the shower, cleanliness will come on your way. You find some areas, including recreation centers, public community centers, and pools, where showering is free.
