There's nowt so queer as folk as they say....we prefer quiet, non facilitated sites and are more than happy to shower in the van even if on a Club site. Climb out of bed, kettle on, shower and back out to make the tea.
We have of course used the facilities on site and they are great but at the mo I'm quite happy to fetch and carry the water.

If its the latter then there have been numerous reasons quoted including by myself as to why we dont use it but its obviously a personal decision governed to some extent by where you will be camping and your willingness to get the water. In my view carting water about a CMC site that has first class facilities is baffling but in a farm field having ones own is obviously very useful.

agree fully. I like to shower for as a) as long as necessary b) as long I as feel like it, unless there's a queue of course. I'm on holiday and I don't want to start worrying about the hot water running out or even the water running out. Also like I said we use it as storage which suits us better,

There is no need for gentlemen to appear in "onesies" on the way to and from the ablutions block. For many decades it has been possible for the public to purchase a set of "overalls" as worn by engineers, mechanics and similar trades. I have in fact two sets - one with a nice quilted lining for use in the winter months. One can also obtain a toolbox in a small size to carry soap, towel and other accoutrements to complete the illusion of not being a caravan dweller at all.
The method of preference, of course, is for both partners to shower together as less water is consumed and a decent wash of the back can be obtained on a reciprocal basis. Problem though is there is no-one to pass in the warm towels.

In my shower room { ?? } I store my laundry in laundry bags all kept neat & removable in one of these modern oval plasticy hold-all Thingumy bobs - easy to remove as and when required -- it also holds any spray bottles for 'Toilet pink' , midge repellent, etc etc
