I was wondering how to prolong an hot shower in our caravan. I seem to remember seeing on the tv Caravan show - Caravanfinder TV -recently about a device /boiler modification that can prolong the hot water consumtion to the shower. I also am aware of the Ecocamel shower head attachment that mixes air and water to the shower head, are they any good? and roughly how long does an hot water tank last using an Ecocamel head?

I have a Lunar Ariva GT (1998) and regularly use the shower! Find it a lot better than many boat showers I have used over the years...!

A bucket in the cockpit, do you mean? Cold at beginning and end of season and embarrassing in a marina. Wink

Lol! I had a Sealine 285 and remember the the wife holding a watering can of warm water as a shower while I stood on the bathing platform in the marina... It was a good way of saying "good morning" to the other boat owners (wearing shorts) who were doing the same thing!!! Sealed

just had a few days where we were handy to the shower block so decided to use these in lieu of the van shower which we normally use....however o do find it a bind to get out of bed, het dressed, walk to the shower, get washed and then get dressed again before strolling back to the van...

much prefer just falling out of bed, straight into the shower without the hassle of 'clothes'....

of course, i could do what many others seem to do.....walk around the site in pyjamas, dressing gown or a leopard print onesie.....Undecided

I much prefer to shower in the motorhome, it's so much more convenient.  I think the cost of having showers on site is extortionate to say the least.   You wouldn't catch me walking round a site in my jim jams, no way.

What are jim jams, pyjamas, onesies? Eu Naturel in our caravan Tongue Out

Could be worse, in my days of river racing when camped out overnight the first thing in the morning was to wee on your wetsuit to defrost it, how things have changed with bathrooms in caravans
