Simple answer – no.
What determines this is the Make and Model of Campervan.
Depending on the size of the camper, some will have room to contain a shower and toilet and others won’t. Typically, the larger the camper, the more likely it will be to have a toilet and shower, in smaller campers there just isn’t the space or practicality to have a shower and toilet.
For you to be sure, you need to check photo’s of the inside of the Campervan your looking to hire, because as with Volkswagen Transporter models they advertise a shower and sometimes a toilet, but the reality is that the shower is just a hose and tap which connects to the back of the van and supplies you with – basically a outdoor tap. In the summer months this is obviously more practical (maybe even cool and fun), but in the winter it’s a big no.
Something else you’ll need to consider is what type of toilet your camper has (if it has one). Again as a example, Volkswagen Transporters can be marketed with a toilet, but it’s usually just a ‘porta-Potti’. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with this, as long as your aware of the difference.
Some campers will have neither a toilet or shower, as I said above it’s because of the practicality of the layout and design of the Campervan. This is both good and bad. All toilets need emptied, unfortunately there’s no mains sewer pipe underground like you find at home, so every now and then you’ll have to empty the waste at an appropriate site (usually permitted on campsites with waste facilities). But on the other side, it provides you with a means to relieve yourself wherever and whenever.
As far as shower – what is there to say? Who doesn’t love an evening shower before settling down, or a quick wash off after a day at a beach. They’re great and very useful, but they do need refilled with fresh water, they’re typically not as powerful as the one at home, and you need to keep an eye on the time because the water wont last forever (especially if your sharing).
