Hi

We use the shower in the van more than we throught we would only your germs.

Most of the time we use site facilities, but if there is a queue for the showers or they aren't very good then we use our own.

The only stipulation i have is the roof vent is left open and all walls are wiped down. We have a seperate shower cubicle but in the old van it was part of the toilet, same principle applied.

Nope don't use ours as the site has A1 showers and loos.  We use the loo at night only.  I would be scared of water ingress and damp to be honest.

We always use ours.  No athletes foot or veruccas in our "on board" bathroom.

I found out that MRSA is carried by 30% of the population too.  They may never get it themselves, but can pass it on to the unsuspecting....

I always use our shower since I learned that.  In fact we bought the new van simply for the bathroom in it!

We wanted a shower and loo in our van because we intend to stay on site without facilities.  Only used the van once since we got and tried out the shower, I was most impressed.  There is only the two of us so room was not an issue but a bit of "luxury" was important.

If you use CC or C&CC sites you should get a much better standard of cleanliness, we have always found the CC ones really clean. And they have individual basin cubicles too.

We use our shower frequently, it is a separate one but not one of the "one piece" compartments.  The walls are plastic covered and all the joins neatly sealed and we have had no problems.  We always dry down after use, open the window, and use our Omnivent extractor, which we find excellent.

As long as the walls are waterproof, any joins well sealed (check carefully and frequently), you should be fine

As long as you get it checked out (or take the word of the previous owner as I did - I am SO gullible!) age shouldn't be a problem. Our van is a 1990 Swift Challenger that I paid £2400 for early last year (methinks I paid too much on hindsight), and I use the shower every day when I'm there.

we have never used the shower in ours just the onsite facilities,mostly all have been OK,I always use the Domestos sterilising spray £2.75 a can,just pray it in the shower and on the controls wait thirty seconds and its germ free.Not caught anything grisly so far.
