Thousand Trails “resorts” are so varied in accoutrements- sometimes it’s pure lux, other times it’s a “pick your spider “situation. My favorite one had good showers and a “Don’t poop in the shower” sign. Sometimes people will “resort” to anything I guess.
For me, a shower-less van life gives me the simplicity I want (no tanks to fill or empty, no maintenance, no need to worry about math -- bacteria dividing and multiplying in there...) and more opportunities to feel gratitude. After a few days of sponge baths, a long, hot shower at Planet Fitness or in a campground feels heavenly! But I know what you mean about the sticky mess a body becomes in humidity. Yuck. That's why I stay away from East Texas. Yay for dry heat!
The shower was one of my favorite things about our r-pod. I used campground showers when available (and when not gross) but when they weren't, the in-unit shower & potty were the ultimate luxuries.

A shower would be a necessity for me too! “…which keeps everybody else safe from what they don’t need: my bare ass prancing around”— LOL. 😂
I originally misspelled that as “prouncing,” a portmanteau word I’m happy to claim. Proud prancing.
😂
