Is it possible to shower or flush the toilet while your RV is in motion?
ANSWER: Hi Heather, the answer to both of your questions is yes. To use the toilet in your RV while going down the road all you have to do is make sure that the RV's water pump is turned on. Just a note here: The water pump in the RV runs on 12 volts DC so there is no need to turn on the generator.
You would just use the toilet normally and flush. If you are not planning to use any more water you can then turn off the water pump. All of the waste will be safely stored in your RV's black water holding tank.
Taking a shower while going down the road is going to take a little more preparation on your part.
First: you are going to have to make sure that the fresh water holding tank on your RV has enough water in it for your shower.
Second: you need to make sure that your grey water holding tank is empty. You do not want the grey water tank to get full and start overflowing through the shower drain in the middle of your shower.
Third: if you want to take a warm shower you are going to have to make sure that your RV's Water Heater is on and that it has had enough time to sufficiently heat the water. Depending on the type of water heater you have you may have the choice of heating it using either Propane or 120 volt electric. If you choose electric you will have to keep the RV's generator running.
