I did something similar with my 'diy turban'.. I cut off the sleeve of an unused long-sleeve cotton Tee shirt. Sew the wide shoulder edge (not cuff). After shampoo, I condition my hair with a gazillion products, and wraps my super-curly hair for 10-20 minutes in my 'diy turban' - usually while trimming fingernails, plucking chin hairs, removing moustache with Nair facial creme (I'm a hairy lady) or checking email.

Thank you for this information! I've also noticed that the wooden bath mats actually come with a few of the better RV's. As for the puddle, I assume it goes down the drain as you drive, BUT you didn't mention that, when wiping down the walls, you should also check the drain for hair clogs. Nothing worse than taking that nice warm shower, only to find all the water going out onto the RV floor.

One plus to a wet bath is regular use will keep any Lily dew rinsed off the walls if you have a guy using the head as well.

That sink was the main reason I traded out of my WGO ERA 70a an into my Travato 59k which has the fold up sink (out of the way!) Also I now have twice the floor area to stand in. That ERA side bathroom was tiny!!!!!!! I know some folks didn’t like the rear bathroom (I think you didn’t particularly like the 59k layout). But to each his own and a large bathroom area for shower was high on my list. I also like the rest of the k model. (Thumbs up)! Also my curtain drapes around and over toilet so there is almost no wet area needing wiping after. My tip is I actually remove the wood mat during shower. Then replace it after. My pan drains well and drys quite fast after. You didn’t mention using an exhaust fan (maybe you don’t have one?) anyway I always run my fan during shower and for an hour or less after (helps dry everything) including my damp towel that I hang across the entrance to bath. All in all thanks for sharing your video, few people have done vids related to wet baths.

THE NEW BOLDT IS BAD DESIGN Unfortunately, Winnebago took the positive design aspects of the Travato 59K and made them worse! Not only did they add a hefty 1ft 8in to the original 21ft chassis, but they incomprehensibly moved the 2 twin-beds appart to make it nearly impossible to make a normal double-bed. Were the designers on drugs when they created this "new" layout? Even the new front lounge could have been done more simply with a round swivel table in the middle, like Pleasure Way has done with the Lexor. All in all, the new Winnebago Boldt looks like Picasso's "Guernica" painting after the town was bombed...

This is a great video and somewhat sad at the same time. Until your video, I have been hard pressed to see such a comprehensive video explaining how to effectively use a wet bath in a Class B RV. Water and space constraints mandate rethinking bathing compared to what all of us do at home. This should be included in every RV delivery package @4:32 It never came to my mind to do this. That truly is a welcome luxury. You my friend are not planning to accept half-measures while RVing. Maybe PleasureWay can add this module to their Alde system in 2020?

One suggestion is to use a squeegee to get the water to the drain. I use one in my glass door shower at home and it keeps it clean. Regarding towels, personally, I do not like the feel of microfiber. I use the cloths to dust, but do not find them to be absorbent to use for wet cleaning. I am a 100% cotton girl...clothing, towels, sheets, cleaning cloths, etc. Do you have a recommendation on how to dry a cotton towel in an RV?

jMon it dries quickly or you can wipe it down with one of the quick dry towels. I find shaking mine off and then leaving it loose allows it to dry faster. if the bottom is still wet after a few hours then i'll dry it off and then pull it back and strap it.

How do I get that window cover...mine didn't come with one???

Nice video but after watching I have to agree with my wife - no wet bath for us. But that's why they make different RVs.

Hello- where can I order a sink and faucet like that?

I want a sit down shower with a hole at the lowest spot for best drainage. That way, I can empty the portable compost toilet in with garbage and not have to wipe down all the time.

Question regarding heater. I am looking for a small heater I can use with solar system. Do you need to be on shore power for the heater in video? Thanks for all your wonderful videos and information. I ended up buying a PW Lexor last year after watching your comparison video,

@Ultramobility

hi laura - nope on the lexor you can run it off battery power but not for long. on the low setting maybe 3 hours continuously. the low setting is 750w or 750wh. your battery bank is 2500wh. i just use mine for short bursts like when i get out of the shower or maybe use it in conjunction with my main heater to augment it at night if it's really cold.

How much water do you typically use to shower? Excellent and useful video. Thanks.

i'd say around 4 gallons. it's a 2 gpm shower head and all in i'm probably using it around 2 minutes or so. maybe less. depends on how dirty I am.

Very informative video! Learned a lot. Here's a stupid question. Can you stand up comfortably while taking a shower in your Ascent or is sitting really the only way? Still love the Ascent.

@Ultramobility

you have to sit in the ascent. the sink is in the way. some coaches have more room like the lexor and the travato 59kl. they both have enough room to stand up if you like. the tradeoff is that that you pay for the extra space in some way. in both cases of the travato and the lexor the rig is longer by 1.5 feet. you would have to determine that being able to stand is more important than say maneuverability and parking ease.

Great video as usual Neil. On an unrelated note I am curious if you have any perspective on planned 2020 model year upgrades by PW. I heard that they are exploring a new Truma heater as a potential replacement to their current furnace but I have not heard of any thing else they may be working on like flexible solar panels, high efficiency ac to run off batteries or potentially the watt unit as a replacement for the generator. Also it would be helpful if you could provide some perspective on when they typically implement the upgrades as well as start building on new model year chassis like the 2020 promaster. As always thanks for the excellent perspective.

I'll try to find out more but I can tell you some things: they will not likely move to flexible panels on all their models. they are trying them out on their new Tofino model but the jury is out on long term durability of flexible panels. water/heat can build under the panel since there is no gap between them and the roof of the van and we need to see how that affects things. they won't be moving to anything like the watt system any time soon. that is also unproven technology. they won't likely be moving to larger battery banks that can power the a/c any time soon. not sure about the new rooftop ac units like pro air and the new coleman quiet rooftop a/c. will have to check. they are already building on the new mb 2019 chassis. should see those hitting dealer lots by end of april or so. changes for this year were already announced by them and include: new deep sink, new galley faucet, new interior décor, new paneling in the bathrooms, bose sound bar, new lg smart tv, new fiamma awning, new lagun table system. 2020 model year changes will be announced in the fall I believe or maybe winter.

@@Ultramobility Hey Neil... not to continue the off topic thread... uhhhhhh ..but to continue the off-topic thread; I'd have to disagree that watt is an "unproven technology". The first concept for a fuel cell is well over one hundred years old - yes I spelled that out on purpose, so nobody thought it was a typo. What watt has done, it appears, is help it work effectively with less pure gasses. I, for one, want to see this take hold, as it is a perfect use case for this technology. I desperately want this to become mainstream before I purchase my RV in just a few years ,as I will always be concerned about the noise of my generator - I hate to irritate others. Given that RoadTrek is now out, I would think another progressive manufacturer like Pleasure Way should be open to WATT's products and research - I understand that WATT were looking to deliver an 1100W unit - which would start to be seriously meaningful in potentially replacing a generator (and no, IMHO the wimpy 500w unit RoadTrek was using wouldn't really be valuable in my opinion.)

What system do you use for hot water?

Great in detail tips - never before seen by any other van dweller, thank you. To quickly and efficiently remove soap scum or residue a rinse of vinegar water will do. I also rinse my hair to make it soft with baking soda water. Refined baking soda (purchased on Amazon) also makes a good skin scrub.... all great tips to save on water and still get squeaky clean and hair clean and soft. If I shower sitting on the toilet I think I would want to put something soft on the toilet lid - any suggestions?

really great tips! I also keep a bottle of vinegar water in my galley. I use it to wipe down dishes so that food scraps don't go down the drain into the grey tank and start to smell.

It kills all molds and fungus and denatures protein based food particles; plus there's the buzz about Dawn and H2O2 for stain removal, which I find to be true.

Any tips for carrying a 30” wide x 15.6” solo canoe in/on a class B or B+ Rv? The canoe is really light, only 30 lbs (Kevlar). I’ve seen kayaks and bikes transported vertically on the back of an rv, but not a canoe. Is is possible to have a roof rack on a class b or b+ for the canoe and a bike carrier on the back?

@Ultramobility

yes, certain rvs like the Tofino I believe have a roofrack that is designed to carry something like a canoe. you have to make sure that there aren't components like a rooftop air conditioner in the way.

well i'm hoping that my channel is helping to move the industry along. I noticed that winnebago announced no stick framing and staples in their newest class B, the boldt. they also upped the warranty to 3 years! both things that I continue to push for. I noticed on some rv lifestyle channels that they are now trying to be more up front with their "reviews" by mentioning things they don't like but still are missing the mark in terms of complete honesty there. we'll see if they do the right thing and clearly state on every video what is sponsored. onward and upward! thanks for the comment!

yep that price tag is outrageous considering the fit and finish. it looks exactly like their inexpensive travato line or worse some of their earlier models circa 2014. I think winnebago needs to think carefully where it is playing: premium or affordable. very few companies are able to play in both successfully and the boldt seems to be a product that is stuck in both worlds. the benefit that airstream has is that they don't pretend to be inexpensive. but that also gives they the freedom to have a higher fit and finish and quality of materials and then charge for them. same with pleaure-way. those companies are not setup to make inexpensive models but their whole production technique is set up to create premium products. just my 2 cents.

agree on the 4 season comment. the rvia needs to define that across the industry with ratings. does it mean -10 below freezing? -30? what about tank dumping. I've lived in Quebec so without some kind of warmers on the valves they are going to freeze even with tank warmers on. it's a shame that no one is really thinking about the customer experience in all this. it's like it's all just marketing hype. what are the practical realities of rving in cold weather?

How many gallons of water do you typically need for each shower?

A Military Shower is the best way to save WATER! Here is how; 1. Fill the Sink. 2. Put a Rubber Stopper over the Floor Drain, to keep the water inside the Floor Pan. 3. Sit on the Toilet and use a Wash Cloth, to put water over you head and drain over your body. 4. Now repeat, using Soap/Water. 5. Wash yourself, standing where necessary. 6. Reuse the water that has accumulated in the Shower Pan to finish the job, remove Stopper to drain. 7. Stand up and use a small cup to pour the water in the sink over your body to rise. Finish rising using the Shower Head. I think we can Shower using around 1 Gallon of Water. Note, you don't have to drain the Water in the Shower Pan, save it for the next guy initial Wet Down.

The wooden mat looks nice as well, and ads a nit of warmth to the decor.

it's true. I like the look of it especially in my bathroom which is all white and a bit... sterile. the bathrooms in the new model pleasureways have wood paneling in them that match the rest of the coach and tend to look less sterile. in any case, you can't go wrong with a bamboo mat!

ok ok ... mea culpa. I initially thought: "Really?!? a 'How to take a shower' video? How desperate for content can Neil be!? " Annnnd I was wrong.
