Our shower is so full of the DW's clothes, dog food & my rain gear that it is faster to walk to the shower house than to unload & reload them all. Besides, the shower restrictor built into the shower head reduces the pressure so much that it is practically unusable.
Mine is not an expensive motor home but the CG shower is bigger, has more hot water than 6 gals, and the DW does'nt have to clean it all the time. And then agian our shower is so full of stuff it is easier and to faster to walk to the shower house.

I once had an acquaintance that camped pretty often in the summers, at least once a month. He always bragged that his camper bathroom had never been used, still had the plastic sticky thingies on it. The camper was at least three years old, and he said the same thing about the one he traded in on it.
When staying at a campground, the kids and DH usually shower in the shower house (as long as it is clean). I shower in the moho - always (too much stuff for me to haul to the shower house)!!

Why did they even buy one?
Probaby because they couldn't buy one without a shower/bathtub?
We use the "throne" but rarely use the shower/bath. I think the only time we actually used it was when little man was a baby. I keep looking at mine thinking about mods for storage...but we use the outdoor shower all the time so go figure.
We've had the best laughs watching those who don't know how to "dump" dump. The bizarre efforts to stay clean - or those who just don't care - and then of course there are the ones who hook up their drinking water hose to clean the dump hose. And then the absolute newbies who just can't remember how everything goes together - and what to pull when. A rental unit in front of us at the dumping station is the signal to settle back for some great entertainment. I'd pay money to watch some of these guys again.

I was at a flying J last year about this time filling up my rig with fuel when a MH pulled into the next pump over. A man gets out of the rig, and puts the fuel nozzle in the tank, then goes and opens a compartment, noses around inside, closes it and walks back into the MH. The next thing I hear was him fussing at his wive "I didn't pick up the hose, I though you did!" This went back and forth for a little while, then he walks back outside, hangs up the fuel nozzle and gets in the MH. Wife is outside giving hand signals "forward, back back, closer...Perfect!" I then see him come around to the side of the MH with the sewer connection. She opens the dump station, and then he takes off the cap and pulls the handle!!!! Brown water stats spewing all over the place as he tries to modulate the flow out out the valve so it will hit the hole in the ground. One thing was nice is that they thoroughly rise off all the ground where they had spilled sewage all over the ground, but the smell was rather oppressive. By this time, I had driven over to the store to buy a few things, and I could smell the odor all the way over there!

We use the shower in our 5th wheel. Have plenty of hot water for long showers, plenty of room. Our hot water tank is 10 gals and heats water fast.
This is what we bought it for, to use it and we do. Use everything.

I find it amusing when over one of the 3 day holidays (memorial day, labor day, 4th of July when it is near a weekend), how many times I have seen a trailer or 5th wheel pull up on a Friday afternoon. It takes them hours (4 or 5) to get their camp ready....lights over the awnings, little white plastic picket fence around the one side of the trailer, a gazebo tent, a portable grill....then on Sunday morning, around 10 am, they are gone. 5 hours to set up, 5 hours to take down, and 30 hours to enjoy.....seems like a waste of time to me!
Then, you have the once in a lifetime event when a quick T-Storm comes through...blows down the fence, blows down the gazebo, messes up the awning! Ya, I know, shouldn't think it is funny when others are having a hardship...but after all, they brought it on their selves!
In lauglin at the Davis campground by the river we dry camped for a few days along he river. When leaving DW follwed in the toad and we went to the sewer dump to unload the tanks. There was this old class a mh there and this guy was dumping his tank and he had a bout a 3' hose with no end on it and the******was flowing on top of the cement pad into the drain. I said to the guy you should have a hose that reaches the drain and he says "Naw I like to see the******come out in case it plugs. Besides I just rinse the pad off after." Well he has runners on and he is standing in the crap. I walked to the back of the motorhome whe DW was waiting in the toad and said this is the day I teach you how to do the sewer dumping. She stuck her head out of the window and saw this guy what he was doing. When he was finsished he got in his MH dirty shoes and all and drove away. he was just like the guy on National lampoons vaacation with the Mh emptying his into a street storm sewer.
