Try carabina clips for the curtain. Leave them on the curtain and spring them over the pipe.

[@SlimPotatohead]

That's a thought. Thanks Roger! SP

[@benspencer564]

@@SlimPotatohead Or, if you still want to stash it, just get a few ring type ones and leave them on the curtain. Hold them together with a carabiner and you can slide them all on before you clip the rods into place. You could even mark one or two of the rings so you know between which ones you need to put your cord/clip. Great idea, though! I'm definitely taking some notes for the bus build I'm working on.

[@SlimPotatohead]

The shower hooks are definitely the weak part of the concept. What I may try are velcro straps on the curtains that are wide enough to pass over the pipe elbows of the shower rod. They would stay on the back curtain and go over the rod in seconds. But I think I'd still keep the front curtain separate. Should cut set-up time in half. Thanks! SP

[@rogerstarkey5390]

@@SlimPotatohead I'm planning something *very* similar for "the van in my head" (One day!!!) Raised toilet (you sit down!) With a slide out tray underneath. Submersible pump clipped to the side for waste water (no outside drain?) Similar shower curtain to yours. Your pump/ shower head is great, I'll be stealing that pump! I was along similar lines with the heater as well, 12v fishtank heater. As you say, 5-10 litres @42° is fine, why over heat water to add cold?

[@joemcdonough2765]

No need for a conventional toilet. Lived 5-years in a van without one. Use a pee bottle and a plastic shopping bag in a bucket + some dirt. However eating the correct foods one can stay "regular" and plan for brown stuff with ease.

[@VagabondTouring]

Slim, leave the hook rings on the curtain and slide them on the rod . Snapping those rings are a pain . Nice job and always influential and inspiring. Thanks

[@Alleykatukr]

Won't work, because of the configuration of the rods

[@MonoBrawI]

I would find (or sew) a shower curtain with loops which I can slide directly over the shower rods. There are window curtains with those loops that don't need any clips but I'm not sure if they make shower curtains like that.

[@VagabondTouring]

Alleykatukr maybe it would ... I’m not sure .. just a suggestion

Great use of space and materials. Especially recycling what resource is already there. Question: On a camper with an outside shower, like mine, its OK to just let it go outside. So what’s the difference in having to capture the water form an inside shower? Keep these up. Looking forward to seeing you back in the states.

[@SlimPotatohead]

Good question. I do NOT dump shower water in soils or areas with biologically sensitive ground. The sudsing agents in ALL soaps (yes even biodegradable ones) have a big effect to the little critters that live there. Thanks! SP

[@cherriemckinstry131]

@@SlimPotatohead you can get environmentally friendly soap. If you were staying in the same place several days or over a week, I'd agree. And some soap, esp laundry soap is not good. Im glad your a proponent to caring for the earth. More people should be this way.

[@doloresreynolds8145]

The skin cells, etc, washed off your body can attract insects and/or mice to the smell. In a camping area, you may not want flies, etc. attracted to the underside of your camper - and nearby campers don't want that, either.

[@SlimPotatohead]

@Cherrie McKinstry, don't be fooled by the "environmentally friendly" slogan. The issue is the sudsing ingredient. Insects and other important creatures breath through their skin. Sudsing agents drown them where water normally is just repelled. SP

[@joelrdizon]

I'd use 3.5-inch carabiner clips, the type I use on the ends of my mountain climbing rope, for the curtains, Slim. The bonus is they're detachable and reusable for a thousand different uses and because they're made of aluminum for light weight, they don't conduct electricity so you can use them confidently to clip electrical lines in and around the trailer too. And to store several of them, you can clip them into a chain which you can use to extend the suspension of your overbed cargo net.

[@ranuts2]

Aluminum and electricity is a bad match up! Aluminum will conduct electricity.

[@rhs4384]

Aluminum is metal and does conduct electricity. They are non-magnetic, but not non-conductive.

[@stevenparkin6486]

Slim. Consider this modification. Skip the pvc hoop and attach velcro to top edge of shower curtain. Hook-side of velcro on curtain can catch to existing fabric ceiling. Overlap curtain a bit beyond a full 360-degree enclosure, (perhaps 380 degrees), creating a lapping door entry to get in and out. Above all, please know that the utility of your shower is an improvement over the prior toilet. - Steve, Utah USA

I absolutely love your mug!

[@HoneyandMe]

That was awesome, Slim! We use a similar set up at our cabin...and depending on the weather we can use it outside as well. When we are there in warmer weather, I leave one of those black shower bags on the roof of the cabin and let the water heat up and then shower when it's ready with the hose hanging off the roof. We are miles from civilization, so there is no risk of looky loos! Just wondering if using fabric type shower curtains would be easier in your setup.They fold up smaller than the plastic and you might be able to leave them attached to the curtain rod, and not have to reattach them at all. Just an idea! Take care! From BC-Sue

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

Hey Slim! You should watch her videos! She has excellent remodeling ideas you might be interested in. ~Lucy

[@onlyone266]

Try using a fabric shower curtain it dries quickly and folds easier than the plastic. If you do use plastic. Use dollar store liner. Not as thick but it works and easier to store. Sew a pocket on the shower curtain (can be done by hand) put rod through. No clips. Disassemble three sides and fold/roll curtain. You can sew a plastic curtain too.

Great job installing the shower, everything in its place for storage. But, if I may make one suggestion for heating the water, at least on sunny days. Instead of using the propane stove. Fill the clear water container with clean water and place it outside in the sunlight, either on the ground or on the roof of the car. The sun will heat the water in about an hour or so.

[@mrs.onyango6504]

I’m just really amazed at that ingenious shower buildout!

[@M.Campbell]

For the shower curtain rings you might look at "book rings". They come in a lot of different sizes and hinge open. It seems like they might be easier than the regular shower curtain rings. There are also "curtain rings with clips". They would need to slide over the PVC but you might be able to leave them on the pipe when you break it down.

[@suecaldwell6702]

I like this pump system much better and I always love the comic relief!

[@pugmalley]

Think if the hose went underneath to get the water from the jug underneath you then can do a longer shower without the need for more soap. Add more hot water as needed then when ready for rinsing soap off maybe a valve to another hose to a clean source of water.

Also to heat the water in the bucket you use to shower - get an immersion heater. It's basically a metal stick you drop in the water, then plug it in. It won't boil the water, but it will warm it to a temp that's pleasant for showering. Plus it's fairly small and would fit in with the pack of other shower stuff under the seat.
