Hi All,
Our van is due in 7 weeks and I guess I'm having a wobble!!
What are your thoughts on the lack of a toilet and shower? Feels like it pretty much ties you to camp sites, this worries me a bit!!

I frequently disappear for days and weeks on end away from full facility campsites. There are plenty of alternatives to having a plumbed in shower and toilet. The portapotty, especially 335 thetford, is excellent but for days away from toilet dumps can be a worry regarding disposing of accumulated contents. The bog-in-a-bag Genre, for there are plenty of alternatives to the original expensive bag model, is hugely compact and the waste material, being nicely sanitised and packaged, more easy to dispose of but it does have a rather rustic quality to it. Failing everything else, if wild camping and caught short do as bears do, and remember to pack a shovel.
As for showers, wet wipes weren't just invented for babies
You can get a whole variety of wipes, face wipes, body wipes, hand wipes, antiseptic wipes, .... the list is endless. Compact, easily stowed and with good attention to detail a human body can go weeks living off wipes and not be offensive.
Neither does the planet have to suffer. Everything I use is compostable. A bit more expensive but it saves oceans and landfills.
