-===== showers =====
+===== Showers =====
-In-vehicle showers require space and water, both of which are in short supply for vandwellers.  Class C and larger vehicles have the space and water tank capacity to make regular showers a reality.
+While //possible//, it is extremely difficult to squeeze a practical in-vehicle shower into a van. The amount of space they take up, along with the very large amounts of water (and wastewater) storage required makes it difficult in even the largest of vans. Dwellers who want regular access to an interior shower are better served by [[rv:class_c|Class C]] and larger vehicles, as they have the space and water tank capacity to make regular showers a reality.

 ===== gym membership =====
-If you are near a city you can get a membership to one of the nationwide 24hr gyms.  Planet Fitness is a popular choice among vandwellers.  Note that PF limits black card visits to the same non-home-gym to 10x/month:
+this section has moved to [[hygiene:gym|its own page]]
->> Reciprocal access is limited to 10 visits per month to a visiting location. Additional fees may apply if you exceed 10 visits to **the same visiting club** in a month. (**emphasis** added)
+====== conservation ======
-One reading of this is if there are ≥3 non-home PF in the area (or 2 non-home + the home gym) one could rotate between them without bumping into the limit.((what happens on 31-day months?))
+  * use sponge-baths instead of shower bags when practical
+  * use non-potable or less-potable water for bathing instead of using your [[water:drinking|drinking water]]
-If one will be in one spot for a long while the home gym can be [transferred from the account page](https://join.planetfitness.com/transfer/Step1.aspx).
+  * use a [[water:spraybottle|spraybottle]] to wet yourself, your toothbrush, etc.
