How do you keep clean in your motorhome?

Top & Tail, or shower.

I use a watering can to top up our fresh, and sometimes wonder whether it would be quicker to simply tip it over myself nearer the tap. :) :) :)
 
We use the shower in the van every day if water is available, otherwise we have a good wash in the sink on alternate days.
 
The washroom in our van is tiny, so we've never used the shower. For us, it's top 'n tail or a strip wash unless we're on a campsite, which we do every three or four days to pump and dump, when we use the campsite's facilities.
 
We prefer not to use campsites any longer, our MH has a good washbasin and shower - sorted. I’m always surprised how little water a MH shower uses.

Strip wash and wet wipes plus occasional shower.

Yep same here, except for the shower I call into a campsite as my small van doesn't have one. I also use a couple of flannels for the all over body wash, one loaded with soap/body wash and the other just with water to remove said soap. May seem somewhat basic but it's surprising how well you can have a strip all over wash with a few bowls of hot water and some flannels.
 
Rarely on a site, where we could use their showers. So mostly use our shower cubicle. During warmer months, when we don’t have the boiler on we use a Hozelock portable shower with cold water topped up with a kettle (or two, if necessary) of hot water. This way we can both shower using only a total of 5ltrs of water thereby saving on water usage and emptying. Have been showering this way for years. In cooler weather we will use the normal inbuilt shower, again, being careful not to use too much water.
 
I have two showers in my campervan. One the built in, gas water heater powered one and the second a nifty little USB chsrgeable shower head/pump affair. This i use with kettle (240v from solar) boiled water (no gas, so more sustatinable)

I also interspace either of these with the Wonder of Wet Wipes

A Citroen Berlingo micro camper here. I hike from mine and have Sea to Summit shower bag, warmed up by the sun or kettle which I can hang from a branch or a bar fixed to the roof rack. I get NHS body wipes for most of the time-probably more hygienic than a shower.
 
I do much the same as at home - but I have to make do with a shower - either in my van or somewhere else - as baths are pretty non-existant other than in houses. I do prefer a bath, don't have a shower at home

I stayed in a hotel a few years ago and was horrified to find there was no bath - only a shower room. I had been looking forward to a nice soak in a bath after a hard day at a work conference. Humph.
 
I shower in the van every 3/4 days and strip wash in the sink in between and maybe every 7/8 days book onto a site and have a long hot soak shower.
 
On board shower, fill water every 3 days, shower, water tank down to 60%, 3 days refill and repeat.
 
We have a van conversion so can open the back doors.
When it's wash day I reverse the van close to a wall/fence/tree anything to not be overlooked.
Even better when you have an isolated place to your self.
Then I open the back doors, stand in the space created and have a strip wash with a bowl of hot water.
 
Shower in the motorhome!! Its pretty good since I fitted a Surflo pump which is probably too powerful for the Kontikis ageing plumbing so no doubt one day it will all explode. I tend not to worry too much about conserving water as Mrs D is obsessed with collecting it. Even if we are on the top of an Alp she will send me off on the scooter to find water somewhere. Im brilliant at it! :LOL: Churches, garages, Aires, fountains, peoples houses, grave yards there is always a tap somewhere and I can get forty litres on the bike.
