Interesting. I have never used a campsite shower or toilet and always use my on-board facilities.
I will probably go round and strip / reseal everything 1st to be fair and then do some sort of trial at home.
We did the same on a Lidl Car Park 2 years ago - 2 Packs of 2 litre bottles, took ages as you say, but we were able to dispose of the plastic waste by filling the store's public plastic waste bin ...Discovered a very slow way to fill the water tank in the Motorhome on Thursday evening....

Took ages to get 48 Litres of bottled water in there with a funnel! (lots of the bottles not in the photo!)
But needs must and I managed to get a shower that night
I would guess that you have a Truma Ultrastore in your Swift? that would have a 10L tank within the Boiler. It is very important to ascertain this and if you do have hot water storage as come winter, if you don't drain it down (seperate drain for fresh and hot) you could end up with a major issue if the water freezes!I will probably go round and strip / reseal everything 1st to be fair and then do some sort of trial at home.
Mine does the 25% steps water measurement aswell, although I think the hot water is on demand as I can only remember seeing 1 freshwater tank which is the ambient supply for everything. It's quite old - 2007 Swift / Ace Airstream.
I've also found some sort of hatch from underneath of vehicle which is directly under the shower so I will investigate this aswell as I supect It's an access to the drain hole assy in shower tray.
When I inspected what I could see of shower last year it looks like someone has gone over all the joins and original sealer with a thin layer of silicone, its very tidy and could be factory, neither can I see any previous evidence of damp but I would rather strip it all and reseal it properly just to be on the safe side due to its age as silicone does break down and like I say this 2nd layer could be there as a botch over.
The other thing with the shower is I dont think the bird could do a five minute shower, She has about 5 different bottles of potions that she HAS to use apparently, and her showers can last upto half an hour so She definitely will run the moho dry.
I do like to wildcamp although the council is making this difficult but every other night we have to site up just so the GF can use facilities.
I soap the shower walls and rotate slowly; saves water for just rinsing and keeps the shower wall clean ... Of course, *when* I lose weight, I will have to resort to traditional methods of showering ...I would guess that you have a Truma Ultrastore in your Swift? that would have a 10L tank within the Boiler.

It is very unlikely any motorhomes except possibly very high end ones have a true "hot water on demand" system as the amount of power required to instantly heat cold water to be hot enough for washing is extremely high and beyond the capability of the supplies in a standard Motorhome.
Even the domestic "on demand" hot water systems have a small storage tank as a buffer. On my last camper conversion, I fitted a domestic "on demand" Ariston Hot Water Heater - the type that you might find in a workshop or industrial facility to give you local hot water where there is no plumbed hot water and no storage - but even that "on demand" system had a 10L tank within it
Most people seem to like to do the "navy wash" where you only turn the water on to wet and rinse yourself, and off while soaping and actual washing to save water. I personally usually have a normal shower
