Since buying The Beast, I must have used a campground's showers maybe twice. I prefer using my own shower in the RV. The only drawback is the limitation of the hot water in the RV and, if I don't have the sewer hose hooked up, the grey water tank.

However, sometimes people would like to take a long hot shower. Many campgrounds will have decent hot water, but the water pressure is sometimes lacking.

Below are a few of our favorite tips for these occasions. Pick and choose what you like and have a splashing good time getting clean during your travel adventures.
