Hi everyone!
Okay, so I have been scheming on how we can add a outside shower. I
have found several different manufacturers who make the privacy tents
for an outdoor shower, but am curious as to what others are doing. We
do have the outdoor shower hook-up on our tent trailer, which we
thought we would use. But just need to come up with some sort of
privact stall or tent. And wondering if we do this, how do we capture
the water to dispae of it correctly.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, ideas and opinions.

We use a large plastic bucket to stand in, and then either use a tarp to
hide behid or assemble the "shower stall".

Most non-brain-dead newsreaders don't have trouble with truncated/wrapped URLs.
To accomodate brain-dead readers, enclosing the URL within carats helps:

Uh, Jim, my reader isn't brain dead, the above is quoted exactly as you

I'll fix it for you.

Here's a hint on how to put a link in correctly... after pasting your
link please put a space immediately after it and it won't wrap and fragment.

You link you posted, it was horribly broken. Did you see how I quoted
it? That's exactly what your news reader did to it when you sent it.

The link you posted didn't work for me, Jim, but the one Frank posted did.

Is a little shower water on the ground really going to cause any problems?
From what I gather, some places don't care much about grey water on the
ground, especially in some areas when it gets really really dry...

How many showers will it take until you're standing ankle deep in a mud
wallow?

Hmm...good point, hadn't thought about that part. :-) I was just imagining
how much of a pain it would be lugging gallons of shower water off to a bath
house or somewhere to dump it "properly".
The place I've pondered such a thing being handy is down on the Outer Banks
of NC at one of the park service campgrounds...cold water showers and no
hookups. Since it's sandy and grass-covered in the campsites, mud wouldn't
be very easy to find. I've pondered one of the outside shower units that
you can buy and put in the side of your RV and then rigging a shower stall
of some sort. We went to the beach back in the spring when it was too cold
to be cold-water showering, and bought one of those black "shower bags" that
you lay out in the sun and then hang up to shower with. Didn't have much
sun, so we just heated water on the stove (hot water heater in the camper is
broken) and poured it in... Then found a spot to hang it in one of the
regular shower stalls, and it worked great. I'm not sure I could have
managed a shower with that cold cold water!

I disagree. It was a nitpick.

Now I'LL nitpick: If you lugged it off to a BATH HOUSE, you wouldn't need to
use the outdoor shower enclosure in the first place, right? <big grin>
(Gray water on the ground is NOT the equivalent of nuclear waste.)
I have used a cheap, webbed lawn chair (folded flat) as a bath "mat".
Flip-flops would probably be better.

Probably quite a few unless the ground is already saturated, there is NO turf
AND there are a bunch of folks waiting in line to shower consecutively.

I agree. Having used the portable shower enclosures that I linked to in
this thread in field camping environments, I have not found this to be a
problem.
