Here's one of many ways to get clean in a van.
What you need
-way to heat water
-big pot of some type
-soap
-washcloth
-plastic cup
First I heated water using an alcohol stove in a sterno stove frame.
To make alcohol stove,
Take small can...Vienna sausages, or small can from tuna, chicken, ham.
Put a couple of napkins in it, used is fine. Fill with 70% isopropal alcohol.
Set in stove frame, light, put covered pot on it. I used my stovetop percolator.
Fill big soup pot with a couple of inches cold water. Add hot water until it's a comfortable tempature.
Grab plastic cup and wet hair. Use Castile soap to work up lather and wash your hair.
Lean over pot and using a cup, dip water and pour over your head until clean.
Now using washcloth, wet your body. Add a little soap to washcloth and scrub.
Rinse washcloth and use it to rinse your body.
Get dressed.
Disposal of water.
Pour water by tree roots at least 200 ft from any water source. Tree roots and sandy soil help purify the water.
Remember, less is more.
Your body gets clean by brisk scrubbing rather than lots of soap.
Odor is caused by dead skin cells, moisture, oil. Scrubbing will take care of that.
