Please forgive my "noviceness" but when we recently acquired our first caravan I was so looking forward to having my own shower rather than tripping off to the sites facilities in the cold.  On our first trip I thought it was great but my husband continued to use the site showers. 

I have been reading some posts and it looks like lots of people actually only use their caravan shower in emergencies.  Why is this?  Is it because of the hot water thing/amount of water?  Am I being extravagent wanting to use my shower and oh, luxury of luxuries, my own toilet! 

So is it caravan shower/toilet or site shower/toilet?

I must admit, I did feel a bit mean sending my husband off to the tap for more water and the waste with my mmmmmm. 

with our loo, we only use it for number 2's if its far to far to walk to the loo, and whi ever does it has to empty the toilet, as for the shower ours isnt that good and i use the site one, if my shower was better id use it all the time.

we change our loo when its about 3/4 full, had a problem on the last trip where it went over the top and i had to drain the bowl as the cassette was full, didnt enjoy that.

We also empty our loo when it is about 3/4 full but we dont use it for number 2s. We do use the shower in the van only if OH is too crook  to walk to the shower block.

I don't use the communal facilities at all - can't bear sharing the whole experience no matter how nice they are. Hubby loves using them especially CC site ones which he says are wonderful. I therefore empty the loo every evening as I'm the one that fills it up mostly ! Hubby uses it for a pee though ! Indeed he accidently peed in it at the weekend while I was emptying it ! I found him mopping out the locker when I got back !       I don't think he'll be forgetting it for a while ! That'll teach us to drink a bottle of wine before doing the chores !!!
