That’s the question. I am not very social so I never really talk to other people in their vans, but I get curious about their experience. Here being anonymous seems ok to ask.
I live in one, in case it’s not clear. I know there’s a lot of people who do the same so maybe there’s someone here. Probably not but it’s worth a try. There used to be a van dwellers community on reddit, but mostly americans and instagram people.
It’s funny - the trip in question was five years ago, and you’re right in that the van had neither toilet nor shower. But, I don’t remember either of those being an issue to me. I remember showering at a friend’s place, I must have showered other places. I honestly don’t remember.
How do you do showers? Membership at one of the gym chains? Ad-hoc community pool visits? One of those solar camping showers? All of the above?
Ehehehe, you guessed well. All of the above, plus beach showers when it’s not too cold. Camping showers for when I’m in the outback. It’s not usually a problem, and certainly wouldn’t be in just 1 week, but it’s a defining part of it.
I say having to find toilet is a much bigger issue, but even then rarely really a problem.
