Why do so many posts refer to damp when using shower. I can understand if you have an older van that has perhaps got cracks in the shower compartment that it not worth spending money repairing but if you have a new, or relatively new van with a full shower cubicle surely it was designed to be used, and if fit for purpose, will not lead to damp?

my van is now 10 years old, it is our 3rd year with it and I always use the shower. Have had to have one small damp repair this year, but that was due to the front awning rail needing re-sealing.

I don't understand that either, our van has a dedicated circular shower cubicle. I think that damp has a lot more to do with the continual use of an awning.

  We havnt got our van yet not till tusday but theres no no 2 going anywere in my van lol.  I didn notice some tenters saying  they had to use sit showers.  I found on some sits I couldnt. Being unablle to satn any lenght of time I cannot shower on my own. On alot of sites the are disbeld showers in both mens and womans shower blocks  but its a problme when your a woman and your hubby is the one to asist you. men dont wnat me in there and woman dont wnat hubby in theres so we made our own disabeld shower. all you have to take extra is a swimming cossy  and a watering can the biger the better we packed thinsg actuly in ours travling

    most people have wind breaks set them in a cercule the taller they are the better and then get a bucket or somthing you can sit on.  boile the kettle and make up the watering can and a bowl bucket of water. one can full to wash one to rinse but use a 2 in one shampo much less water and you can shower outside with  the birds and if its raining you get an extra rince lol

   I think when we go to sites with no showers even with the caravan the watreing cans going to have to come along as there no room for hubby to help me shower in our little 2 birth and i dont know if teh shower head will fit out the window.

   were theres a will there a way i allways fined solutions lol
