Fit a lever action shower head, that you only squirt to wet down, turn off, soap up, then rinse off. Standing under a continuously running shower every day for several minutes is silly. Never mind heating all that water. Do you really need a shower every day ?
You can pay silly prices from caravan shops, or just search for a Shattaf. Same thing.
Use a flannel.
Brush your teeth with a mugful of water, not under a running tap.
Carry baby wipes for if you are getting low, or a wipe over before bed.
Don't flush the loo. a small pump up garden sprayer with a few drops of e.g Zooflora does a better job with a few squirts, then a proper clean with a Dettol Wipe (or spray with the Shattaf) only when required.
Use eco chemicals in the cassette so that you can be certain you won't poison septic tanks, treatment works, or aquatic lifeforms.
In suitable places, just pee outside and even line your loo with a "large dog" poo bag, then put them in public poo bins, it's the same stuff.
The Fiamma bidet is also good, wash and shave with a couple of mugs of hot water from the kettle having put it in the basin, then place into the loo to wash nether regions, feet etc.
Underwear, shirts, other clothes get chucked into a plastic tub with a screw on lid (the sort canoeists use) filled with a capful of bio detergent and water then accumulate until wash day (actually rinsing out day), if travelling along they slosh about and just need a couple of rinses, otherwise a good shake each time you add something. Even do the rinsing and wringing out in a public loo basin (take you're own plug).
You don't need to fill your washing up bowl full, wipe off the worst with kitchen towel then use a little water and detergent to sponge over, then some fresh to rinse off.
I no longer usually fill my 100 litre tank full, that's 1/10 tonne of water to lug about, half that is usually sufficient for two plus dog, for several days.
