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?

We use mainly our van shower, it's one of the large walk in types. If near the facilities, and it's not cold or wet, I sometimes go the the block, but only if it has really nice, clean showers.
Aways go in my dressing gown, nobody seems bothered, but I generally go last thing at night anyway.
We use the wet/lather/rinse method and can get 2 showers from 1 Aquaroll, but I usually shower first, then empty and refill for OH while the water is re-heating.
We leave the shower to dry naturally, but do have an Omnivent in the bathroom ceiling to remove the steam.

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.
A bucket was a luxury

Lunar give you a decent size shower and we now use that rather than any shower block. We have not tried getting two out of the aquaroll bit feel it would do it. The warm carpeted floor beats any cold concrete or tiled shower block for us.

We have a on board water storage in our caravan which holds 40 litres plus the roll.. but we only use the shower for my 4 year old if we need to as we use on site facilities.. tbh I have found most of them to b excellent standard.. due to me being a long distance hgv away for 3 or 4 weeks at a time.. i use motorway services for showers but they are not very good at all some are good and alot are total rubbish dirty moldy smelly so I try to use truck stops as they are looked after and clean..
