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 : )

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
