The realities of an outdoor shower >

The positives: 
*The views can be epic 
*So much space is saved in the van 
*Makes washing the dog very easy 
*No need to clean an outdoor shower 
*No one will want to tell you this but I don’t know many van lifers who shower everyday 🤫 it’s more of a wet wipe situation - Water tanks in vans aren’t huge so I’m not wasting space for a minimal occasion 

The negatives: 
~It’s not often I’m parked in a place where there isn’t an audience 
~There’s often times where it’s not appropriate to shower outside 
~I need to wear a swimming costume which means I need somewhere to dry it, and if it’s not a hot day this can take days 
~The outdoor shower is pointless if it’s raining 
~This one’s on me: but I can’t normally be bothered to wait for the water to heat up in the tank so it’s normally cold- and being outside is an extra challenge of resilience 

What are your thoughts? Indoor shower or outdoor shower in your van conversion?
