I just found a cool thing in the baby aisle of
the grocery store. They are portable, disposable washcloths. They are dry and
you get them wet and they have soap in them. The cool thing is you can THROW
them away. No more wet wash cloths hanging in your camper to dry. Wet wipes are
also a great thing to have around. Great for a quick clean up on face and neck
and for adding to your vet box for outchecks. Feels really great and cools you
off on a hot day to wash the grime off your face and neck at vet
checks.
In 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.
