Comment on Hope I won't regret this: Does anyone here live in a van?
guismo@aussie.zone 4 weeks agoKind of… It’s kind of like being in a hotel for a week and considering that you lived in one. Though you did have the actual experience then of not always having a bathroom or shower around

It’s funny - the trip in question was five years ago, and you’re right in that the van had neither toilet nor shower. But, I don’t remember either of those being an issue to me. I remember showering at a friend’s place, I must have showered other places. I honestly don’t remember.
How do you do showers? Membership at one of the gym chains? Ad-hoc community pool visits? One of those solar camping showers? All of the above?

Ehehehe, you guessed well. All of the above, plus beach showers when it’s not too cold. Camping showers for when I’m in the outback. It’s not usually a problem, and certainly wouldn’t be in just 1 week, but it’s a defining part of it.
I say having to find toilet is a much bigger issue, but even then rarely really a problem.

Isn’t there literally an app for that?
I’ve never needed to download it, personally - but you are probably the perfect target audience for it if you don’t have it already.

I use open street map which is very good. And I can add things when they are not there so other people can see it. But some times it’s closed in the morning, or I’m parked too far away.
