An RV shower typically uses 1.5 to 3 gallons of water per minute (GPM), depending on the showerhead and water pressure. Here’s a breakdown of how much water an RV shower might use:
- Quick 5-minute shower: 7.5 to 15 gallons
- Longer 10-minute shower: 15 to 30 gallons
- Water-saving showerhead (1.5 GPM): 7.5 gallons in 5 minutes
Most RVs have freshwater tanks ranging from 20 to 100 gallons, so conserving water is important, especially when boondocking (camping without hookups). Using a low-flow showerhead and turning off water while lathering can help reduce water usage significantly. 🚿💦
