you can have packages sent to any UPS store, then just pick them up.

...or just cough up $5 for a KOA shower, heaven forbid.

yeah you can get a foot long Subway sandwich for that! :) Who needs a shower anyway if you're always in the river?

In California they have free showers on the beaches!

Or you could just do it like a few paddlers that I know who use the sinks in rest stations to take morning sponge baths. Ask a truck driver to hold your soap and towel then when your done enjoy a nice cup of coffee and cookie before hitting the road again.

Don't let that little sprinter fool ya shes a capable work horse but tippsy as a drunk sailor.

Don't confuse gatorade bottles with clear liquid vs. Those containing more... yellowish fluid. For more information consult The Trailer Park Boys.

Life in a van is not complete without a dedicated "Van Groover", to be sure.

A simple rectangular brown wastebasket like those traditionally found in offices works well. You don't need any expensive "wag bags", that is hogwash, and not sensible for the frugal drybag. Safeway grocery bags.

Use of the van groover is a technical process not without its perils, so listen up. All you squeamish bourgeoisie and urbanites with flush toilets: find another thread 'cause Yall ain't never gonna qualify as dirtbags anyhow. Stop Front'n!

Ok-
1.) CAREFULLY fasten the handles of the safeway bag(s) to the sides of the waste can's short axis.
2.) Open rear van doors. Hang a tarp if you may be seen. Many dirt bag practices should remain invisible to the non-dirt bag. They are fearful people.
3.) Place the groover against the rear bumper, centered, with the long axis out away from trailer hitch. What? Your van ain't got a hitch?
4.) Stand on your bumper, grab onto the underside of your bed assemblage, and squat.
5.) Accuracy is key.
6.) CAREFULLY twist up the bag(s). Wash your hands like mama taught ya.
7.) Be sure to return your "deposit" to where it came from: the nearest safeway garbage can. If this is not possible within an immediate timeframe, any garbage can will do. Further protection from offensive odors can be achieved with an empty Juanitas chip bag. Add some Orange peels.

For tips on how to maintain a complete "vanhold" as a couple with two cats, you'll have to consult Washington's hardest hitting rafters. Next time you see them ask them how they manage the litterbox, or how they manage to shuttle an entire drunken posse of rafters and Kayakers, gear included, without removing a single item from their van or compromising their dry bedroom.

This couple has swank accommodations even an FBI van would envy...
