Thanks so much, Shelita!💛 And welcome to my channel! With intermittently stopping the flow rate of shower water, one can take a hot shower for more than five minutes. The hole leading from the canvas bag to the brass shower head is small, so it allows for a long shower at a continuous flow as well (although I’ve not timed this method). I most I’ve put in the canvas bag is two gallons of water, which is sufficient for my shower needs. The traditional shower setup has a flow rate of one gallon per minute with a continuous flow, and longer with the intermittent method. Thanks so much for watching my videos, & commenting!✨

@@lakikaia Nice! You're so welcome!

I totally understand! The cost of everything nowadays is ridiculous!! My friends found me an amazing deal on my Connect, as a used van years ago. It has held up well over the years. I’m praying it’ll last a few more before I have to purchase a new one. Best wishes in finding your perfect van in due time!🙏🏽✨

​@@lakikaia thank you❤

Thanks✨

@@lakikaia WELCOME

I wanted an option that didn’t require any charging. 100% gravity fed. The Wild Republic met this criteria. I too read similar reviews, but opted to give it chance. I’m happy to say that I’ve never experienced any issues with it leaking.

Hi, there! I pray all is well with you, & that you’re in good health! The shower is held by a strong magnet secured to the cross beam of the van.

That’s awesome!✨ Congrats! When I began the search for a van, I had a set budget in mind. I also chose not to compromise on any of my pre-planned needs of my purchase. My van was used and had relatively low mileage, had all of its maintenance records up to date (oil changes, alignments, etc.), and was from a reputable seller. It had a clean title, and was never involved in any major accidents (verified by Car Fax). After having it inspected by a professional mechanic, and test driving it, I decided this van was for me! The most important steps involve vetting whatever vehicle you’re interested in purchasing to ensure you are driving away in a quality vehicle that won’t give you trouble, and won’t put you into debt (or too much debt, if you’re financing). Pay attention to interest rates too, and negotiate. Be willing to walk away if the deal doesn’t meet your pre-determined needs! Lastly, I would recommend a smaller van such as the Ford Transit Connect, or a minivan, due to their fuel economy, and being to able park anywhere a car can (stealthy). Also, by choosing a FTC, or minivan, you’ll save on mechanic bills, as the parts are pretty standard, and relatively available. All the best to you on your search! Super exciting! Feel free to circle back should you have any additional questions!✨

@@lakikaia thanks for the advice! I want to be a “city lifer” in a van, so stealth is a priority. Is there anything I should know about keeping myself safe at night? Also how to you get water if your not at a campsite? Thanks :)

@@kayaissimo Feel free to check out my Vanlife Security video for safety tips. Here’s the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TxfLqItuDec.htmlsi=ZTTSFD51m_uGBTAH For water, I purchase water from refill stations in grocery stores for drinking water, brushing my teeth, and cooking. I use tap water from any available clean source for showering and bathing. Hope this helps!

@@lakikaia thanks ☺️

Thank you so much, Tiffany!🙏🏽 I receive this message in a much needed time to hear it. And thank you for your support of my channel! God makes no mistakes, and I’m glad that he brought our paths together. Stay blessed!💛

Thanks, Judy!✨ I know it’s going to sound counterintuitive, but we used hot glue to secure the hemp twine to the jug… never experienced any leaking from the plastic jug.😊

@@lakikaia thank you. That's what I figured but wanted to be sure. Thanks again.

I have several ways to heat water quickly, in less than 5 minutes. Yes, a sponge bath is easier. I just wanted another option outside of sponge bathing, and going to public showers.

@@lakikaia I understand and admire you girl !

Hi, Rosalyn!👋🏽

Great question!✨ The hole that dispenses water from the canvas bag through the shower head is quite small. It produces a strong yet steady flow; therefore, the water lasts a decent amount of time. I; however, wouldn’t recommend a continuous shower; rather, I turn the water on before lathering up, turn it off, lather up, turn it back on, and so on & so forth. This makes for a more thorough, and water saving shower!🚿🙌🏽 Same concept with the traditional shower head setup. The traditional setup flows at a rate of 1 gallon per minute on a continuous flow. I’ve not tested the time on the canvas bag shower alone though. Thanks for watching!🙏🏽

@Laki Kaia Thanks for replying. Have a great night and week ahead!

@@msleighYou’re welcome!✨ All the same to you!💛

The Amazon link says six minutes. I'm going to use it exactly like she described.

@@ShelbyVanGone Thanks!

I understand that, & I’m happy to hear you’re doing well. Are you familiar with Intermittent Fasting? I’ve been researching intermittent fasting, & I’m considering implementing it into my routine, as a means of supporting my health goals. I’m trusting God to heal me, and I want to take the necessary steps to support my journey of healing. I’ll keep praying for you too! Stay blessed!

Oh my!😳
