The Dressing Gown Brigade

[chaser]

Well we are still here and bugger me if they aren't going out in dressing gowns again , must be getting ready to go clubbing.

 

[Nasher]

I bought a dressing gown to go in my motorhome for visits to the shower block, but I've rarely used it

Instead I have a selection of thongs:

A black one for Monday
A blue one for Tuesday
A white one for Wednesday
A red one for Thursday
A gold one for Friday
A silver one for Saturday
And as Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, I don't bother with a thong

Surprisingly, I get more wolf whistles on Sundays

Nah...they’ll be off to the Bingo, you better hurry up.

When I built ours the shower and toilet were the first things in, got to be right, then everything else had to fit round it,

Same here.

I have often thought that the manufacturers should give people a choice, if people have no intention of using the toilet,sink,shower on board then why not offer an option to fit a wardrobe, cupboards, whatever in its place
We have all seen model ranges where they use a full set of interior furniture for the biggest and most expensive one but as they go down the range certain furniture is removed or moved about so surely they could fit something instead of a bathroom
It's not the manufacturers problem if there is a 'resale' issue, although I dont think there would be, so maybe they are missing an opportunity........I'm sure they would charge extra for the option so making more money for fitting less

just a daily spray with Mr Muscle.

Mr Muscle should try aiming a bit better...... or sit down

FYI I have regular bowel movements 6 - 7 am..

When she was alive to save her 'the experience' I would use the site toilet.

Left it a bit late one morning on a site in France - left the underpants in the waste bin.....

Hope you've all eaten....

I have always understood that gypsys don't have toilets in their caravans, don't know about motorhomes.

 

[busbuddy]

You are correct, never thought of that, a hobby caravan can be ordered without a bathroom

 

[OldCodger]

You think ?

I have to say she does not look like the normal Funster demographic. That said Topsie has said she’ll wear it to the loo block if I wear it first. Is this the time to come out about my Tuesday nights?

They are known as “dry caravans”

If ever you are camped near our all female group I'm afraid on a cold morning or night, you may have to tolerate quite a few onesies. Sorry.

Depends how cold it is.

We’re you at the Blenheim Palace last weekend? We may have been in the queue next to you ?

You forgot to mention the Crocs. Dressing gown and crocs. Jeeves would certainly have a word or two to say.

And the rollers

A hobby without a jobby

 

[DuxDeluxe]

And the rollers

That is posh


...oh not the car

 

[Cat53]

I have used on site showers, but it depends on the facilities and the queues. I prefer not to be treading on other people’s suds and stuff. I like the exclusivity of my own shower!

 

[sb1957]

Yes

Absolutely not. No. No. No.
Hey Dude yes. Crocs no.

 

[Jigsaw2]

As a regular user of showers before Covid (not at the moment) I can explain the dressing gown thing. I hate the performance of removing and donning trousers and underwear on soaking wet floors. Wear nothing but a dressing gown, walk in the shower, hang up towel and dressing gown on hook, shower, dry, don dressing gown and walk back. Simples!!

139 replies to a thread on dressing gowns in 19 hours - amazing.

Beats Gassing.

Who mentioned Gassing?????

 

[busby]

I’m a shower in the van man.

some scruffy, filthy **** use site facilities. Don’t want verrucas either.

don’t get me started on people who walk about everywhere bare foot or put their feet up on seats

That's where Crocs are handy.BUSBY.

It's when I see women in the school run or in Tesco in a dressing gown I get annoyed,,lazy buggers.BUSBY.

Posted on another thread, then thought it worthy of its own.

Why is it people with onboard facilities don’t use them. Surely in this day and age 99% of motorhomes and caravans are self contained. Toilet blocks should only be for campers. One of my pet hates people walking about campsites in dressing gowns. Each to there own.

We use our own facilities, especially at present. Having said that, a long hot shower is lovely. I walk about in a dressing gown on these occasions. I have an easy solution for you, don’t look.

When I got gassed they stole my rolex, £1000 cash, my dressing gown & crocs

(OK so I'm fibbing about the crocs - if ever I was tempted to wear crocs, I'd head for Dignitas )

“Why is it that people with on board facilities don’t use them??” to which I reply “Why is it that people who have paid for communal showers and toilets don’t use them??”. I’m in the latter camp preferring to use site facilities thus saving ourselves the trouble of constantly cleaning out onboard shower/toilet areas (ours are still like new) and redoing the cassette every 5 mins. And no, I don’t travel to and emerge from the shower block in my dressing gown (give me some credit!). It is a case of ‘each to their own’ with no rights or wrongs and if you get upset by people in dressing gowns then that’s sad.

 

[nicholsong]

We use dressing gowns when we get up, but only inside the MH, and take them off inside the shower. We use onboard facilities. We do not pay for facilities and not use them.

These activities might seem strange to some on here.

[peterc10]

Why would you go to the bother of having to fill a water tank up and empty it and why wouldn't you use the facilities that you have paid for the luxury of using? Do you use the onsite toilet? I really don't see the difference. I would only use the MH shower if there was not an alternative.

On the other hand why would you bother getting dressed for a cold or wet walk across a field and then get undressed in the usually cold verruca infested shower and get dressed again to walk back in the cold or wet. Much quicker easier and more pleasant to just take off our pyjamas in our warm motorhome, step into our warm clean shower that nobody but us has used, do the business them step out again towel dry and get dressed in your day clothes. And no, we do not use site toilets either.

And all of that is even more important when you consider the times we are living in. I certainly would never use a shower or toilet that I know somebody else who I do not live with has just used. Covid has a 3 day life span outside the body and I do not want to take a lottery as to whether somebody carrying it has used the toilet or shower I chose.

As for cleaning down the shower after use we just spray the walls and door with Mr Muscle Shower Shine and just leave it to do its thing.

 

[TM59]

Why is it that people who have paid for communal showers and toilets don’t use them

The luxury of choice. I have stayed on many sites both good and bad all over Europe. Firstly I like the ability to put my chairs/tables/barbacue out, secondly I like to connect to electric, thirdly I like the security, after that I pick and choose what others facilities I want to use. You don’t have to use every facilty on very site.
