Based on wiki, a standard ten minute bathe makes use of as a lot as 60 gallons of water. Which means the water tank of an boat or an RV(*) can be exhausted after a single bathe. Due to this fact we’ll need to undertake to some form of Navy bathe.
The factor I don’t like about Navy showers is having to show the water off once more to cleaning soap up. I’m simply not prepared for that form of self-imposed discomfort within the morning. Thus I’ve devised a distinct form of system.
(*) DW has been fairly resistive in regards to the Tumbleweed houses however surprisingly accepting of the RV concept and on condition that we don’t reside subsequent to a big physique of water, the RV appears to be the higher choice, so now we’re RVs.
I took an empty shampoo bottle and stuffed it with water. Earlier than I flip the water on, that is used to make my hair moist after which I can use the shampoo. Then I flip the water on. In comparison with a Navy bathe this implies I solely flip the water on as soon as (filling the shampoo bottle doesn’t depend 
). This works as a result of being an workplace dweeb I don’t get soiled and thus there’s no want for large scrubbing/use of cleaning soap.
For now I’m concerned with seeing whether or not this really saves us any water. I’m additionally concerned with seeing whether or not DW will show resistive, take it as a problem, or simply ignore my heroism 
Bathe “fascism” appears to be a well-liked alternative for folks saving cash and it often ends with large disagreements regardless of not likely saving a lot cash (**). One factor I’ve discovered is that in order for you it, you will discover options to make it work. In case you don’t need it, you’ll discover excuses why it wouldn’t work. This leaves you with out options and failure outcomes as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
(**) It saves non-renewable floor water assets greater than 15,000 gallons a 12 months, however we’re a few many years away from “peak water”, so water continues to be low cost. Due to this fact to economize it makes much more sense to give attention to the dimensions of the home and the dimensions of the automotive first.
