Your invention is really clever! I think it will be workable on my Class C motorhome, too. Thanks. Your channel is very informative and entertaining. My Wife and I can hardly wait for you next video! All the best to you and John❤

[@FromShetoMe]

Thank you very much!

[@eliaustin3745]

That last part with the entanglement was adorable. 😆 😂 I actuality had the pvc idea, as well, but different execution. I just saw someone else mention a hula hoop, which was clever, but I like our custom sizing better, personally. Any who, nice idea and nice video. I'll take another. Thanks!

[@noodles806]

So creative! I’m tempted to do this instead of a privacy tent for a portable toilet as well as shower, thank you!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I have updated the shower. You can check out the changes by jumping to the 10:35 mark on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80

[@Steph67ist]

I have watched so many videos on outdoor showers but I have NEVER immediately made a list and the next day gone out and bought the supplies to make it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@FromShetoMe]

FYI, I'll probably make some modifications which you might want to consider. I would make the frame a bit larger as well as the curtain. I will probably sew in some magnets to the curtain so they will connect to the vehicle. Unfortunately, the new shower head that we installed is no longer available on Amazon.

[@davebagley6499]

Exactly what I need! Will also use for occasional potty use when no access to vault toilets. Outtakes at the end are great.

[@gingerhaven2642]

Excellent design and informative and funny! Great combo!

[@drleo2641]

Very helpful. I will probably cut the lenghts a little bigger. Seems crowded. The idea is perfect. Thank you!

[@temjiu9915]

Very ingenious! fantastic and easy way to make an outdoor shower curtain, this video is going onto my list of favorites for sure. And I'll bet you that this is far far cheaper then trying to purchase some commercially made doohicky that probably won't fit your needs. This one you can actually set up with a few different lengths of pipe to make a smaller or larger shower area for just a few more dollars as well. love it!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. Yes, I have made it slightly larger and added an additional leg.

[@vanman7519]

That is a fantastic idea, I've been trying to figure out how to sort one out for my camper van and now I know what I'm going to do 😊

[@dbj1954]

This is brilliant! Quick, easy, cheap and very functional! Thanks so much!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thank you! FYI, I have made a few modifications in the past years. One is to make the area a little larger and use two supporting legs instead of one. I'm sure you will come up with your own improvements.

[@sg7392]

Great idea. Put one extra suction cup on to hang clothing or towels.

[@wanttoplae]

Very creative. Good job, and a great, simple, yet portable solution

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I'm sure I'll be making refinements down the line and will share updates.

[@auroranite]

Neccessity is the mother of invention. Great job Thinking out of the shower box!

[@buggzo]

Very clean and elegant solution. Probably the best one I've seen so far especially the storage bag. Subscribed!!

[@FromShetoMe]

Welcome to the group. I share an update to the shower in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80 Go to about the 10:30 minute mark.

[@pistolpeds]

You are a very smart Lady who thinks outside the box. Some manufacturer is going to copy this and do well.

[@djinkentertainment]

Wow nice. I have a hhr and I'll have to try this. My shower is a hand pump weed killer from home depot that I retrofitted to use a kitchen sink sprayer. So all I have to do is pump and pull the spray trigger.

[@manondesrochers5729]

You are so smart. I love your ingenious ideas.

[@chrisg7891]

Simply Brilliant!!! So few pieces, so light weight, breaks down into almost nothing, and works great.

[@FromShetoMe]

I did update the shower several months ago; you can see the changes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80

[@hammer-r]

Love the simplicity and design. Well done.

[@ellenchaffin4604]

Nice idea, we have a small Class C and this will be great sometimes for boondocking. Thanks for another great idea.

[@noneyea-mh4qr]

Taking fantastic chord the stretches pretty nicely and it's pretty firm running through your pipes and you should bevel take them apart and collapse the brand then when you put it back together shake it in the should go back almost and it's spot where it's supposed to

[@PlayingwithSticks]

Great idea. Small and simple. We use a pop-up shower tent, which is fast and convenient, but if space is an issue our tent does take up a lot of space. People who owns teardrops are always looking for a side entry tent that can be used for changing clothes. I think what you created here would be perfect for the teardrop crowd.

[@FromShetoMe]

I'm sure the pop up is easier and you don't have to worry so much about the wind or making sure the suction cups stay put. BTW, I spent yesterday binge watching your content. Your channel is going to take off in the way that Slim Potatohead did.

[@PlayingwithSticks]

@@FromShetoMe Thank you for the kind compliment. Funny that you mention Slim. We just got Drew's mom hooked on slim's videos yesterday. He is such a joy to watch. When you mentioned our channel having the potential to take off, we both laughed because we said the same thing about your channel. Honestly we have never seen any channel have such consistent views for each video.

[@FromShetoMe]

I sure hope we get to connect on our trip. We have a lot to share as "creators." We ran into Slim on the trail at Glacier National Park last summer. I was gobsmacked. Email me when you have a chance.

[@bork572]

Simple, affordable, effective. Thanks! Will have to try this next time I go car camping

[@micheleb43]

That is ingenius! We're Rvers and have an exterior shower and we were just trying to figure out how to build a shower curtain that's portable. Thanks for posting. 👍🏼

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I made a few changes to the shower that you can check out in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80 It's at about the 10:35 mark in the video.

[@giovannirodgers9254]

[@istp1967]

The Simplest things are often the Best 😁💕👍👍👍

[@buddy8225]

That is an awesome idea. Really helps me with my shower build in my van.

[@FromShetoMe]

I updated the shower in another video. It’s in our recent trip to Florida, I think episode 2 at the 10:35 mark. You might also play around with elastic cord inside tubing, like a tent. And the magnets they use for magnet fishing might be better than suction cups. Good luck, let me know how it goes.

[@toddbartel6300]

That is about the easiest shower set up I have seen thanks

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I did an update and you can see it in this video at about the 10:35 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80

[@DeanMk1]

I like this one. Not too cumbersome, Not too much work to assemble/disassemble...and most important...it works. Good idea! The only changes I might make is to use a simpler hook for the curtain and I'd make it a little bigger (personal preference). ...also makes for a nice privacy space when it comes time to sit on the potty. Thanks for showing this to us. Some real ingenuity going on there. -b

[@mmqqq8246]

Oooohhh i love it ....subscribed asap ....just need another suction cuo for the bathrobe and towel loll

[@justicegusting2476]

I was hoping for an actual-use demo. 😊

[@ATLbench]

I’m 6’5” and I have a teardrop that I can’t stand up in. Changing clothes can often be a challenge laying down. I plan to follow your design but make it a little bigger not only for maybe a potential shower but definitely to change clothes in. Great idea with the suction cup hooks. I will definitely be ordering those.

[@FromShetoMe]

The suction cups stick well on glass. I’ve been thinking about magnets to stick on the rig. But definitely larger size would be nice.

[@ATLbench]

From She to Me I realized my windows are too low! I built my teardrop out of wood so they won’t suction to that. My solution: small squares of sheet metal adhered to the wood using liquid nails and tape to secure for 24 hours. Then I will use the suction cup hooks on those sheet metal squares.

[@emfern2749]

Thank you for this! I have a privacy shower tent but in order to enter it, you need the opening to be slightly towards the side. Then once you are in, you have to turn it back towards the camper, to face the shower so the opening can let the shower hose in. Causing the stakes to lift and become unstable every time. (Not sure if I explained that correctly-lol) But you just saved us bc we love our outdoor showers! This is great! Thank you so much!!!

[@FromShetoMe]

I re-made mine so that it was a little bit bigger and has 2 legs instead of one. Also, there are large magnets that would probably work better than suction cups.

[@usaman7358]

Now you've both got me thinking. When I first watched this, I was feverishly writing notes thinking "AHA, this is the ticket". Then I got to thinking that a quick shower tent is about equally as "difficult" to put up as this, maybe even easier if you buy an "instant pop up" type. But then, the shower tent can hold the TOILET too. AND, can perhaps be a "spot saver" if you need to leave the spot for any reason. I'm just a part time camper so don't know yet but after thinking it through more, I'm thinking the shower tent wins. As for your stakes lifting, I'm guessing just a longer hose would fix the "problem"? That or just shimy youself into the tent shower while its facing the shower without turning it sideways? I'm thinking there is some solution.

[@janetmesserschmidt5888]

That was very inventive!

[@mathalwaysii]

Great idea. Would suggest you add some magnets so the curtain doesn't fly open when it's windy. Magnet the curtain to the side of the van.

[@thetriphome4854]

Hi, thanks very much for the video... I didn't think I'd be able to find those suction cups for sale in the UK but got them for £14.50 for the pair from Amazon. Looking forward to trying them out. I'm setting mine up on a Citroen Berlingo using a Hozelock 7l Portashower.

[@Liz-ww3cm]

Your final product is just great! Looks perfectly functional, and very lightweight and portable also. I have been looking for a way to add an exterior privacy cubical to a minivan, now that using public restrooms is questionable. I like your use of suction hooks. I have also been experimenting with using 75-pound-hold "fishing" magnets (a dozen for 20 bucks on Amazon- some have hooks, some have eyes) for pinning the curtain to the vehicle/holding up a conduit frame/etc. Thanks for posting!

[@FromShetoMe]

I now have some of those magnets and they are great. I also made the opening larger and the curtain longer. Good luck.

[@NorthstarNorthstar]

Brilliant! Do the world a favor & never take this video down. BTW, Hasko also makes a suction cup soap dish. I'm going to do this on my pickup camper (which has no outside water supply). Simply by hanging a Solar Shower bag over the shower curtains. BTW, google "extra wide shower curtain" & you'll find 108 inchers for a larger encloser.

[@FromShetoMe]

Great tips, thanks.

[@mariawinzler]

Love it. I probably would make it bigger my husband is a very tall man that is stocky built. I may sew 2 shower curtains to have more room. Thank you for the video I saw it from Play with Sticks. Thumbs up ma'am.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I have updated the shower (using 2 curtains). You can check out the changes by jumping to the 10:35 mark on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80

[@lisamorand9607]

Super funny. We all go a little crazy once our kids grow up.

[@margaretwilson7659]

So clever! But my 2017 Ascent outside shower only has about a foot long tube. The infomercial said something like you could wash your feet with it. Just a sec...went outside with a flashlight and checked. There was the rest of the hose stuck up in the side! Took some pulling, but now I have a useable outdoor shower. A thousand thank yous.

[@FromShetoMe]

I was going to suggest that the rest of the tube was probably stuck inside. Glad you figured it out. Would love to find a better hose that was more flexible. I have looked but nothing so far.

[@lindioncicerao1247]

Great idea. Perhaps making it a bit wider for an area for undressing and dressing. Been thinking of how to make one for my truck camper cap. The suction cups solved my problem. Thanks for the video.

[@FromShetoMe]

Yes, in a second rendition I made the opening a bit larger.

[@danstafford5977]

For an inside RV shower.... use a hula hoop with a shower curtain and a kiddie blow up swimming pool!

[@sk8ercaligirl]

I love the outdoor shower. Great invention.

[@FromShetoMe]

+sk8ercaligirl Thanks. I should have made it a few inches larger. May do that but will need a second curtain.

LOL. Well, I want to make some modifications like longer pipes for some additional room--especially needed for big John. That will have to wait until winter as we are off on our next adventure. I would love to pass on ideas to the industry but these guys usually think they are the "smartest guys in the room." ;-))

[@evanlinde89]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the idea!

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. We used it last night in Yellowstone. Also found another use for the shower curtain. I sewed the hook side of Velcro on the bottom and it sticks to the headliner to create a privacy screen between the front and the rear of the rig.

[@nenasmusic2261]

I have been watching your videos,and love them! You are so organized!!! Hopefully someday we will purchase a class b,not sure which unit to get,but with your experience it will make our decision easier!

[@FromShetoMe]

[@alj521]

gotta love it take care!

[@nplevasseur]

Well done. The curtain may not try to slide away from the RV if you lower the two suction cup hooks holding the horizontal support bar so it is lower than the poll that goes to the ground. Great idea to also not tax the grey tank.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I have updated the shower. You can check out the changes by jumping to the 10:35 mark on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rFeph_hL1ne80

[@DwainRoque]

Great idea! It might be faster to slide your curtain rings and curtain onto the pipe before you do the final assembly. It could save time clipping and unclipping if it’s feasible. Thanks for the design idea.

[@FromShetoMe]

Yes, I do slip one side on first but the corners prevent them from sliding all the way around.

[@kkauweloa]

Love this!

[@TroySwezey]

Went to take a shower the other day and when I pulled the drain plug in the shower, I realized the grey tank was full. Having an outdoor shower area such as this one would have saved us some grey tank space. Thanks for the idea and instruction. Off to the hardware store... :)

[@FromShetoMe]

Another way to shower outdoors is to run the hose to the back of the van. You can open the doors and put the curtain between the doors. I use two magnetic hooks. The hard part is figuring out the hardware needed to attach the shower component to the hose, etc.

[@TroySwezey]

@@FromShetoMe We are rolling in a '16 Roadtrek Zion so we have the shower compartment over the left rear tire. Your system will work for us. Regarding the rear door method, I think the challenge would be not getting water inside the van or on the inside of the doors. Would take a lot of curtains to protect all of that.

[@kerenjones8204]

You are ingenious! This is the best idea ever.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. I need to make a few modifications, like slightly larger circumference. But the screen comes in handy by giving us privacy between the cab and back of rig. I sewed the hook side of velcro to the bottom edge and it sticks to the headliner quite nicely.

[@billpeirce7127]

[@theilmist8678]

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks for your kind words. We were glad to have our short rig in Glacier last month. On some roads they are now restricting vehicles to 21 feet. And the parking lots are so packed that larger rigs have no place to park. Storage is like a paycheck. Whatever the size, it isn't enough.

[@1pilotsteve]

There may be issues with showering outside by dumping waste water in sensitive environments like state parks and open areas. There are even some whom have taken showers in Wallmart parking lots.This can portray a negative image for RV ers.

[@FromShetoMe]

We follow the same rules as if we were backpacking, at least 200 feet from lakes, streams, and ravines, use environmentally conscious soap, and we don't use it in public view.

[@SunshineInCA14]

When I get my Class B, I plan on doing that. Thanks for the great idea!

[@shanedownes983]

Excellent, ingenious, thank you. What I don't understand is why these RV manufacturers charge a fortune for basically a shiny van with an outdoor shower then no solution to privacy when taking that shower.

[@FromShetoMe]

Thanks. There are a lot of accessories the upfitters could offer but choose to stay out of those markets which surprises me. But I’ve had fun trying to figure out solutions. Most people probably use the inside shower.
