Ultimate solar shower (DIY van conversion and car camping)

This video is about van conversion. I explain how I did my solar shower system, including specific features to be used with a van, a minivan or a car. It includes interesting safety features that I consider a necessity.
This video is related to a previous video about hygiene. I invite you to watch it:

I love your solutions: simple, cheap, comfortable. And most important, you have tried a lot of solution before suggest something

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Effectively! I think that you must have used, tested and improved things before sharing it. When I first published my van tour, I was already using my van for a year. You do not want people to reproduce none tested solutions with errors... Thank you for feedback. It is much appreciated 😃✌️

[@chrisproctor5252]

I am watching your videos from the UK. Having watched quite a few I must congratulate you on the quality of both the information and advice. I have spent a substantial amount of time in my own stealth camper. With many years in different environments and seasons over many many miles and the key is keeping it simple. All your advice and technical approaches are well grounded and work. For all those who aspire to attempt this adventure listen to the words from this man. I promise you he will save you money, time and so much grief. I so often tell people it only looks simple when you see someone doing something they know how to and understand it. Believe me that is not very often. Eric is just such a craftsman.

[@dianac7002]

Hello from the Chicago suburbs! Not only do you explain HOW to do something, but you talk in detail about WHY the solution works best. I really appreciate that. You're a great teacher. Thank you!

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Thank you Diana! I very much appreciate having feedback from the video aspect too 👍 You must have recognized a clip from Chicago in that video...😃✌️

Good morning to you, Eric Enjoys Earth! I come to you from the "thumb" of Washington in the Pacific Northwest area of the United Ststes of America. I am privileged to live near the beautiful Olympic National Forest, which is one of the world's few temperate rain forests. I always derive much good from your videos. First, there is your desire to help people succeed by sharing your experience- tested knowledge. I hope to incorporate much of what you have shared in your videos into a wheel- chair- user- friendly build for my family and me. Second, you share the how and why of each likely solution in such an accessible, respectful manner. Three, because of the first two, your videos remind me of my dear departed father, and the comments about customs officers wanting to open the ends of the tube reminded me of when I took fishing poles to Mexico as gifts to my late husband's relatives. Thank you for bringing good to our lives!

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Thank you Melody for your very nice comment! You made my day! 😃✌️

[@guarionexfloresliranzo7893]

Enjoying all the detailed contributions. I've been born and lived my entire 72 years in a 3rd world country. I want to add to the nice details, a common one that all dominicans would use if you don't have enough water and or pressure in the solar tank: a container of some 3-4 gallons and a jar. Always pleased with the chanel.

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Thank you for your appreciation et sharing your experience. ✌️

[@Trenchant468]

Another deeply practical solution, well thought out, and using actual science. The thing that stands out about your minivan camping is not just experience, but a solid education underlying your choices. Thanks from the Mid-Atlantic.

Hi Eric, My name is Danny Coffey and I live in Visalia California that is by Sequoia national Park. I want to thank you for your van life videos and your wisdom and experience that is awful nice of you to share with the rest of us. I worked hard all my life my wife passed away my kids are grown and I am going to enjoy my van life but I appreciate your wisdom and experience. I'm going to build my solar shower like yours and I thank you so much for all your tips and experiences save me the misery of building my solar shower on my van thank you so much. I especially never thought about launching the torpedo forward and putting the restrictions inside of the tube and I love your shower because it's simple. And I love how you pressurize it again thank you so much for your wisdom and your experience of Van life and willing it to share it with the rest of the world Thanks Danny Coffey 😁 I will be watching more of your videos on the reflectix and everything else that you have to share and offer thank you again

Eric, I just watched your video from Western North Carolina. Anticipation and then excitement when I see you have posted. The solar shower is brilliant. The baffles…sweet. I don’t believe I have seen that in any other DIY project. Also, the simple way you pressurize the system. It is so very obvious how much time and effort you put in to any of your projects before you post them. Thank you for your quality work.

Hi from South Dakota, USA!! I've watched 100's of these videos and yours are by far the best in terms of simplistic innovation that is not over- engineered. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey. I'm currently trying to devise a setup where I can keep one of the second row seats usable for when I'm on the road and then remove it as needed at night to pull out the bed.

Hello from Los Angeles, California. I am born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Enjoyed this informative video because I am not interested in hooking up systems to my engine. My father enjoyed traveling by car and camper and so do I however, I have not invested in a trailer at this time. I work full time so I am a weekend traveler. I had watched your video about your van build and your reasons for building this way. Another great video. Thanks again for taking the time to explain your solutions to common issues DIY travelers come across.

Thank you Karen for sharing and commenting. It is always interesting to read about people perspectives. Thank you for your appreciation ✌️😃

10:37 cheers from Poland! I've seen most of your videos during covid, when the idea planted in my mind. Now that I bought a proper car I've started the process of conversion and I'm watching your videos again for ideas and solutions 💪

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

That's awesome! I am glad to be useful in your project! Enjoy the project! You are going to have so much fun with your van! Poland! Cool! ✌️

[@ziomalZparafii]

@@ericenjoysearth2756 The most challenging part is that we have 186 and 189cm of height so hard to squeeze a proper bed to be able to sit on it while in day mode but I'm trying a few options before finalizing the project. I got Peugeot Rifter long with automatic transmission - very pleasant to drive. The whole process of inventing, creative use of space and planing is a separate hobby I guess 😁 Thanks again, cheers!

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

If you can sit on a seat when it is not converted, than you can sit with enough room! Enjoy your project 😃✌️

[@ziomalZparafii]

Well, not really as when sitting on a regular seat there is a lower floor for legs so that's extra ~20cm. When a seat is flat it goes into that space. But anyway, if the whole conversion was easy, there won't be a place for the creativity ;-)

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Well said! Creativity is the fun part 👍😃

From Arizona, USA. Thanks, Eric. I investigated several of these tanks on the internet and wound up with one similar to yours. But, nowhere did I find anyone installing the baffles in the tube. I intend to modify mine now to include the baffles. If I plan to cross international borders I will also modify the ends to allow access. I was a divemaster for a shop in Tucson, AZ and we made 3 to 4 trips per month to Mexico and the Sea of Cortez. On one of those trips I was hauling 15 scuba tanks for the class in my pickup. Crossing on the return to the USA a new border patrol officer wanted me to dismantle all the tanks, but fortunately an old timer was there who recognized me as a frequent crosser for the shop and let me go. You never know what they will ask you to do.

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

I'm in Hollywood California - but I'm in the Hollywood Hills - in an area called Beachwood Canyon which is part of Griffith Park. Really great hiking up here.

Hello Eric, I'm from Germany. I like this outdoor shower concept! I am still in the progress of finishing my MiniVan, so there is always room for inspiration. You are a talented animation drawer, first the bed, now the water sloshing. Never seen this in other video's - thumbs up! I will use your method of drawing all foldable bed parts and the frame on paper to make sure, my own idea will work and the measures will add up. Thanks for that inspiration also. :-))

Eric, thank you so much! I have used many of your ideas for my Honda Odyssey conversion and the result is that my van is much nicer, simpler and more practical than many others I've seen in my travels. Adding a shower is my next project so this video comes at a perfect time. Well done on adding the baffles in the pipe! I've been watching some ABS shower videos while I do research and you are the first person I've seen address the problem of water sloshing back and forth. I had already planned on adding them but hadn't figured out how yet, this is a great solution.

[@ericenjoysearth2756]

Thank you Eddie for your comment. I am glade that you enjoy your Odyssey conversion! It is a pleasure to have contributed to your project. You will certainly appreciate the shower! 👍
