That's something I've wondered about - if you want to do some urban camping
how can you shower in the van? (without making a mess, or attracting the
police) - does this LT he's refering offer any possibilities for dreaming up
an installed compact shower thing or mechanism that could fit into the van
and tuck out of the way the rest of the time??? I know you can rough it -
but how can you smooth it? Isn't this vehicle supposed to be a compact, land
loving yacht?
