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.
