FAQ

How do you shower while living in a van?

Most van lifers use a portable pressurised shower. You fill it from your onboard water tank, pump to build pressure, and shower anywhere — no hook-ups, electricity or campsite facilities required.

What is the best portable shower for van life in the UK?

The best van life shower for UK conditions is a pressurised portable shower. Unlike solar shower bags, it doesn’t rely on sunshine, and unlike built-in systems, it doesn’t require plumbing or permanent installation. It works year-round — even in colder weather.

Is 8 litres enough water for a van life shower?

Yes. An 8 litre portable shower is enough for:

One full efficient shower
Two quick rinse-offs
Washing hair and body using a wet–soap–rinse method

Because the spray is controlled, you don’t waste water.

Can you heat water in a portable van shower?

Yes. You can:

Leave it in the sun in summer
Mix kettle water with cold water
Heat water on a camping stove

The neoprene thermal sleeve helps retain warmth for longer.

Where do you empty grey water when van camping?

Always dispose of water responsibly:

Away from rivers, lakes and streams
Use biodegradable soap
Follow Leave No Trace principles

Many van lifers use designated grey water disposal points at campsites or service areas.

Can you shower inside a campervan?

You can, but you must manage condensation. Most van lifers shower outside the van or use a pop-up privacy tent to avoid excess moisture inside.

Is a pressurised shower better than a solar shower bag?

For UK van life, yes. Solar bags depend on warm sunshine and gravity. A pressurised shower gives you consistent water pressure in any location, regardless of weather or hanging points.

Is it better than a solar camping shower?

For many campers, yes.

Solar showers rely on gravity and often produce a weak trickle of water. They also require somewhere to hang the bag.

The NewFlow pressurised system creates real spray pressure, allowing you to rinse properly without needing a tree or frame.

Can it be used for other outdoor activities?
