When taking my week-long camping vacation in the van each September, I generally plan the route to take advantage of Oregon State parks and their most excellent shower facilites, at least every 3 days. Personally, I don't need a shower every single day. I have, on some occasions, camping in summer, in a hot area (Oregon hot area = anything over 80 degrees) heated a pan of water on the stove, and taken a cooling sponge bath in the privacy of my own van. I recently purchased the Outback Porta-privy, for use as a privy, not as a shower enclosure. It folds up into such a compact package. Set up, that thing is huge! I think my granson will want to sleep in it, when we go camping next weekend : ) Ellen Lola, '85 Vanagon ASI
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of autumn. --John Muir _________________________________________________________________ http://newlivehotmail.com |
