Best VAN LIFE SHOWER Ever!! (Halo Shower by Storyteller Overland)

[@AZRockRunner]

I took Navy bath in a outdoor popup tent many times. Didn't need the shower (wasted too much water), just use a table top, a pan, and a scoop. Put the hot water pan on the table, wash the head first and let the water drip back to the pan, then reuse the water for the body. After washing, rinse the whole body with fresh water, done. Used only 2 gallons.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

20 years in the Navy here....so I get that for sure.

[@letmebereal]

Your fortunate to live in such a free country. I live in New Zealand where everything is highly restricted and corralled.

[@pamelag.6664]

I love that shower! The design gives you so much more space than a fixed shower!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, it is so nice. Love it! :)

[@jameshambrick7918]

Awesome SHOWERR, thanks for inviting us along 🚿

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Any time! Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚍

[@kazoolibra7322]

Wowwee!! You are looking terrific with that rag on your head. Very fashionable

[@30AndAWakeUp]

haha...i like the look too! Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚍

[@bambihargrove6499]

Exactly its so awesome to shower inside your van. I Love your shower 👍

[@30AndAWakeUp]

It really is! Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚍

[@Bearsuitguy]

I've been thinking a lot about my ideal van layout. I like the shorter vans for ease of travel and parking, but I really want a shower and bathroom. It seems like the halo shower concept works really well.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, I really like the halo system. It’s a pretty ingenious design. If you can make the toilet work it’s an ideal set up

[@southpadreq7317]

Halo shower and the dry flush toilet would be a must in my van layout. If I ever get a van.

[@phoeniciangemini]

I love that shower setup!! It works, it's hidden it's perfect!!!!... Amazing!...

[@30AndAWakeUp]

yeah it is great

[@CellasChariot]

FINALLY the shower review! Thanks for sharing Kev!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Hope you like it!

[@CellasChariot]

@@30AndAWakeUp YES! Easy to set up and put away...plenty of room and love that the hot water is available immediately...as a life long camper, i'm used to "military" showers and that wouldn't bother me a single bit! :-)

[@30AndAWakeUp]

@@CellasChariot Yeah, it really is great!

You are proof (washcloth on your head) that necessity is the mother of invention! Great demonstration, safe travels!

[@billbeyatte]

It's been a while, but perfect timing. I just got my Storyteller and haven't used the shower. Great to see another first time user. Thanks Master Chief. LCDR Bill Beyatte, Navy Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA

Very cool! I love that version of the STO. Congrats.

Looked very convenient. Nice to clean up after hiking in warmer climates.

Nice! Ive been to Ocean Shores...love that area. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚍

[@dianafoot]

This might just win the prize for the best van shower design ever! I lived in a school bus for a year with my husband in 1971-72 (we had our first baby in said bus) and I would have loved to have such a shower. I learned to take a pretty thorough bath and head wash with a couple of gallons of water I heated up on the stove, though!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

it is great

[@MichaelWhite-mi4dk]

I’m impressed with the shower. I like that it “stows and goes”. I don’t want a “permanent shower”, because I’m all about saving space. Although it looks like it’s covered, I like that the mirror is right there. I really like that the water heater is powered by diesel. I would like to stay away from LPG as much as possible. I also like that you can store your toiletries in the cabinet once everything is put away. Cool shower! Being a future travel nurse from Texas, I’m really leaning toward getting a van RV, so I don’t have to worry about another vehicle to get to work.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, I think this is the perfect travel nurse type vehicle. It’s such a great set up. Thanks for watching and commenting on

[@chevromaniaco]

Well, first of all, thank you for sharing your experience with a compact shower for RV, it is fabulous, I am going to use it as a model for my camper van, but here in South America you cannot get that kit, so I am going to manufacture it. Then I'll tell you how it went😂😂👌🤙

[@30AndAWakeUp]

That is awesome! I have a friend that manufactured her own. She has a youtube channel as well…it’s call Johnny’s Journey.

[@RedheadedWritinghood]

No sleep walking Kevin! Be careful!!! I like that shower and I'm thinking of going with a smaller rig. I've used the shower in my rig 3 times now and I've never been disappointed. I have a 30 ft. 2007 Sunseeker by Forester River. I used my shower in Denver when I didn't want to walk through the snow to the coin operated showers. Right now I'm by the Klamath River in California and I used it when I hiked to the beach (5 miles) and when I got back it was dark and started raining.

Very cool. Having a functional shower in your rig makes all the difference for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🚍
