Now that spring has arrived and the days are getting longer, many adventurous people will be thinking about the summer adventures ahead, getting out into the countryside and experiencing the best of the great outdoors.
For some, using a campervan will be the ideal way of doing this. While there will be people who rough it in a tent, others will be tied down to a location (and often set mealtimes, check in and checkouts, and other restrictions) in hotels and B&Bs. Even those hiring a cottage will be restricted to one particular area.
The Flexibility Of Campervans
By contrast, a campervan offers an opportunity to enjoy much greater freedom. It can be parked on laybys or other convenient spots at almost any time, with no check-in or check-out times and meals at any time. You can stop whenever you are tired and change your plans at will whenever you have a new idea or find a different attraction to explore.
They can also be used in remote areas with very little (or no) accommodation available, all while providing some home comforts. This may be especially suitable for areas like the Scottish Highlands, where staying indoors rather than a tent will also protect you from the dreaded midges.
All this is great news for travellers and also for some commercial operations. That could include film crews travelling to rural locations, or traders taking their wares to country shows or music festivals over the summer.
Staying Clean And Fresh
However, ensuring your campervan is well-equipped with all the home comforts means changing some parts from time to time if they become damaged or worn out. That can include getting a new stainless steel shower tray.
Having showers included in camper vans is, of course, one of the great delights of using one. The home comforts are taken to a new level in such instances, not least in comparison with campsites or hostels where shower facilities will often be shared.
The key is to have the right kind of shower tray for this purpose. The creature comforts may be similar to home in many ways, but space is often lacking. That means you need to avoid slippage – as the walls are a lot nearer and thus slips could lead to head collisions – and the consequences of major water leaks will be worse.
Using stainless steel has another basic utility about it, as it is completely rust-proof and, unless there is some accident that causes it to be damaged, the shower tray last for many years.
At the same time, the range we have is made up of one-piece items that are easy to maintain. This is important because it makes hygiene easier to maintain.
That is not just useful when you may be using the shower regularly during hot spells in summer, but also means that it will not start picking up bugs, mould and other forms of plague and pestilence during the months when the camper van is used infrequently or not at all in the colder months.
Good hygiene also means you need less time to spend on cleaning it when the shower is in frequent use, which is invaluable as it enables you to make the most of your time as you spend hours driving to locations and then getting out of the van to enjoy them.
Mobility Matters
Our range even includes shower trays for people who have reduced mobility. This recognises that while camper vans may be used a lot by adventurers who live Instagram-worthy lifestyles, their benefits can be enjoyed by those who are less mobile, the sort of people who would find camping difficult but who can enjoy adapted creature comforts.
This may particularly appeal to some because camper van conversions are highly popular. This enables more flexibility over how such vans are used, enabling them to be more of a lifestyle choice than a simple means to an end for those seeking an easy way to get out into the wilds.
With a wide variety of camper conversions possible, the different shower trays available are one example among many of the way that facilities can be varied to meet differing needs. This will also apply to toilets and sinks as well, making it possible to adapt and provide solutions for every need.
That is, after all, what camper vans are meant to be about: extra mobility, flexibility, lots of choice and making the world your oyster. The fact that all this can be done while staying very clean and feeling fresh adds to the joys of using such a vehicle.
