Keeping clean while extended camping has certainly been challenging. Our tent smells bad. Our van smells bad. I'm ignoring that we smell bad. While in Seattle, I did purchase some Mr. Clean so that we could periodically clean the van. Not just clean it out, but clean it. It is amazing how worth it that one purchase was. We've washed it out several times, though I have to admit that Kings Canyon did me in. It's just so dusty there, I gave up on it. I promised myself that when we got to our next location that I would give it a good scrubbing, but I haven't. It has rained several times, so the outside is less yucky than it could be, but it still needs a good scrubbing.
Bill has been a strong proponent for campgrounds with showers. That hasn't always happened, but we have a foot washing tub and a shampooing tub, so we can take care of those two things when we're not near a shower. But in Flagstaff, we celebrated NS's birthday with a trip to the local fitness center (swimming pool), followed by a shower. Such bliss. Now, it had only been a few days since our hotel stay, but we were feeling the grime. Our next campground is an Army Corps of Engineers site, and they have showers, so that will help my parents open their door to us. I hope.
