  Shower in a Vanagon?  Hmmm, I'd say "wrong vehicle".  If showering while
traveling in a vehicle is your "thing" you may need a big RV or a trailer.

  You can only fit so much into any given space and our Vanagons are small.
That is why they can drive around on city streets, get into gas stations,
access small roads and driveways, etc.
   I met a lady once while I was in a laundromat (traveling in my Vanagon)
She  was loudly  complaining about her RV...She said the washer/drier was
too small and she hated it that she had to come to the laundromat to keep up
with her washing--her auxiliary vehicle was a large SUV of some generic
make.....the washing machine in her Prevost would only do small loads...She
said her dishwasher sucked, too.  And the bedroom TV was pretty small..And
her sewing room was tiny...She didn't complain about her shower, though, so
that musta been OK..So even the rolling houses have space
considerations...big shower..small washer drier tvs sewing machines etc
etc.  Poor gal!  Wonder how big her main dwelling is?

  Sunshower works for me when there is no place to bath.  Cloudy days we
just heat some water on the stove and pour it into the sun shower.
