Re: [RC] Trailer Question - Barbara McCraryIn our trailer, I have installed an oval "Muck Bucket". I found it somewhere and recognized its possibilities as a bath tub. One can stand in it and take a sponge bath. I can either kneel in it and take a sponge bath, or if I pull my knees up under my chin :-)), I can take a sitz bath. We just heat a kettle full of water to boiling, add cool water to the correct temp, and bathe away! It's not luxury, but it works. Anything is almost luxury after one has done high Sierra backpacking for many years, and the only bath you get is in 40 degree (or colder) water. And we don't spill water on the floor...just drag it outside and empty on the ground.

What I have seen used are a few different methods for cowboy showers, and the water in the back of the trailer. A) Let it hit the floor, and just run off as is will B) Install a drain hole, and stand over it. (I have seen this in one trailer) C) Stand in a small kids swimming pool to catch the water, then drag it out of the trailer to dump it. D) have the hubby buy you a great big fancy LQ trailer, camper, or motorhome.
