Hi All

Been beavering away in the background designing and building this Shower unit for all you little guys with no internal shower. The basics are:

2 tent poles, 6 bungey strap hooks (you dont want the elastic), a length of strong non stretchy rope, some tent material made into one sheet with a split down the middle with press-studs and tubes along the top and bottom for the poles, finally one tent peg and a short length of elastic rope to secure at the base in the middle. Just hang your solar shower above with a strip of plastic carpet protector beneath your feet and off you go - Its amazing how kleen you feel and Debs says your hair will feel great too since you dont get the steam effect as in a room.

Here a few shots of Debs in action....................

Finally some of you may remember my attempts to design a hairdryer based on the blown air system with not very good results (DONT TRY IT IT DOESNT WORK AND COULD BE DANGEROUS!!) Anyway I bit the bullit and installed a 110ah battery and 1000w Sterling Inverter.

The end result of all this is - Debs (and therefore me) is a VERY HAPPY CAMPER Laughing

Pics were taken in a little Municipal campsite in the Cantal Area of France - Thanks to the guys who suggested it - had a BRILLIANT time - same goes for the France Passion THANKS ALL.

If you need any more info on the shower let me know.

Oh and last but not least - she is naked behind the screen - Prooves its safe in company hee hee!! Wink

Hi

In May 1997, I bought a bungalow that had various problems - these were made clear at the time and due to the knock down price, I went ahead.

The bath was badly damaged and unusable. In order to shower, I had to push a towel over the crack in the back and stand at the opposite end. I filled a bucket with water, tipped it over my head and hey presto - a shower!

Stroll on!

I don't like buying property that is "ready to move into" - but that one really took the biscuit. Also had no power for days, no boiler for a week and has to fill me bucket with water boiled on the sotve. Thank god the gas was on!

Call me picky but I favour the first option. Razz

Hi

Cracking idea if there is a grassy bank behind you but watch out if the sun is directly behind, remember the famous pic of Princess Diana Very Happy

Hi Chuggs

that is a great bit of camp engineering....

no not that sort of "camp" Embarassed

I suppose in sunless weather you will have to fill the solar shower from the water heater Rolling Eyes

Good point about the sun stew however it is proper tent material and I havent seen and shadow yet!! Oh and we cheat - we boil the kettle with the water mike Rolling Eyes

Yep Ive seen that Dave Embarassed

One thing you cant see is the ladder on the back makes an excellent vanity bag and cloths hanger while in side and shampoos etc are arranged along the bumper.
