I use less than 5L of water to shower in our motorhome and I take a very decent shower. It is all about knowing how to use that water. Likely a shower at home would use over 10 times that. Here is the water consumption in EU on average:
statista.com/chart/19591/avera…
The average human in Spain consumes in a day as much as we two consume in a week in our motorhome.

Tio makes an apple pie in the motorhome (super easy) - videos.trom.tf/w/bPTrNPzGkXgF2…
You only need 5 eggs, 4 apples, a bit of sugar, flour and oil. And you can make a super tasty apple pie. You can use any other fruit so go wild with it! 😃
This is to showcase how with very little ingredients and in such a small space, you can still bake some great sweets 😃

End of Tio's solo adventures - videos.trom.tf/w/krAqhhhwWYeRE…
This is it, my solo adventures have come to an end. It was a very interesting and useful experience to see how it is to live by myself in the motorhome. I saw many cool places but I was also very work-efficient and did a lot of work on our TROM projects. Overall, a great experience!

Costs of traveling alone - videos.trom.tf/w/bNaxS9Knpw7VU…
This is how much it costs me, Tio, to travel by myself. I only need food, fuel, and internet data. I have visited some very nice places in the mountain and spent some quiet time by myself.

Tio Solo and the craziest offroad with the motorhome! - videos.trom.tf/w/35UnP9SG73Z8W…
Tio went for a month solo with the motorhome in the North East of Spain. This is how he coped with it 😃. This is also the craziest road we have taken our motorhome on, some 1KM climb via a 12KM dirt road. But at the end of the road it was Paradise. That was in Queralbs, more specifically the Fontalba parking.

Dying of heat in Spain...and fixing the shower tub - videos.trom.tf/w/1DNNLUCRtsbW7…
This video is to show you how Tio was melting in Spain in July/August in a parking lot. It was so hot, easily over 30 degrees inside the motorhome almost every single day. He had 6-7 fans running almost nonstop. He also fixed our terribly looking shower tub and did other things to the motorhome. Enjoy the pain 😃

Costs of full-time living in a motorhome in Spain - videos.trom.tf/w/upM7VpUx5Nzjn…
This is how much it costs for 2 people living full-time in a motorhome in Spain. From food, fuel, internet, repairs, everything. In short it is a lot cheaper than renting something in Spain.

I calculated my expenses of living full time in the motorhome by myself. Food, Fuel, Internet, gas tanks...and is under 500 Euros which is amazing! Cannot live with less in Spain. I am not missing out on anything I have all I need.
I am still in the mountains :).
Life is good. Working on some scripts for some TROM videos.

Taking a break. - videos.trom.tf/w/e3sKwg2A4E5Vm…
Last stops before we took a break: La Torre de Cabdella and Castellar de n’ Hug. Wonderful places. But we had to then take a break, make some money, so that we can continue our adventures. We were lucky to come across 2 wonderful motorhome parking places right before our adventure ended. See you with new videos soon! 😃

The most alien place we found... - videos.trom.tf/w/2i7qJnNxoU7vp…
Bardenas Reales is a place in the north of Spain. A desert with odd shaped structures. I, Tio, saw these structures in a documentary with Brian Cox called Solar System - you can watch it here videoneat.com/documentaries/26… - so I looked for the place only to find out it is in Spain.
It is one of those unique places that you may never forged 😃.

Started my solo motorhome journey :) . Maybe for a few weeks, maybe for a few months. We will see.
I am attempting to reboot myself and TROM. Let's see...
We still have a few older videos to post before I will start to post videos that are more in sync with our lives in the motorhome :) tromhome.com/ but I will make more and more useful videos about living in this kind of way. I have lots of tips to offer :D

San Salvador de Cantamuda: We found a fossil forest and the weather was cold and rainy. Nothing very eventful. Just a few more days of our motorhome adventures. But super cool to see these imprints that are many millions of years old. A book of earth 😃

Fuente De, Picos de Europa. We took a cable cart to see the top of the mountains. What amazing views! Looked like a volcanic mountain with ice tops 😃. We also hit our motorhome again 😦.
But overall our experience in Picos de Europa was fantastic!

I don't want to know how much water I use to shower 🙈 🥲
I don't think I'd be okay with having to wipe off my utensils instead of washing them, but I guess it makes sense in a motorhome considering limited water storage. Life in the motorhome might be an extreme example but in general I agree that people should be mindful of their resource usage..... I feel like it'd be better to use water from a well or something for our shower if possible, no need to have treated drinking water in our bathrooms at all.
Tio
in reply to Rokosun • •We wipe the dishes and cutlery a little bit before washing them. It is really not a bi deal and many people who use dishwashers do that before putting them in the dishwasher. As someone who always wanted comfort and wants to feel at home wherever I live, I can tell you these different practices like with the dishes or showering with little water are far from extreme :)
But yah water usage at home is insane. Maybe sensors can help, like when you are under the shower to have the water run but not when you are soaping and not directly under idk. But feels insane to consume so much water, like you go pee and flush 4-5L of fresh water for that...wtf....

Oh so you always wash it off after wiping, that makes sense. Anyway good that you feel at home with this lifestyle.....
Wait, do people not turn off their shower when soaping? Why do you need a sensor for this lol 😂 It reminds me of those ads ran by a toothpaste company on world water day showing someone who doesn't turn off his tap when brushing his teeth, it was like a PSA to get people to close their taps when not using water. I never did those things so it sounded a bit crazy to me that someone just wouldn't close their tap like that.....
4-5L of water to flush down your pee is insane man. It reminds me of a little trick I saw on YouTube one day, where you fill a 1L bottle with water and put it in your toilet's flush tank, so that way you'll be saving 1L of water on every flush. This is also why I think you shouldn't use drinkable water in your toilet or bathrooms if possible.... If you can pump ground water from a well or something that could be used instead of using treated drinkable water.
Tio
in reply to Rokosun • •Yah as far as I know people do not turn off the shower or tap while washing or brushing. For shower I also didn't do it....so yah....
And for flushing the toilet I think the best would be to use the sink water to do that. Like store the sink water into the toilet tank basically...
I am sure there are solutions for these if there is an incentive for it.
