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.

      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

    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.

    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

After watching video after video of van camper builds with so many of them that don't even have a shower because they used up too much space with cabinets,etc. I am inspired by how you have a shower under a seat, that when done showering, you tuck it all away and sit and have coffee in that very same space!

    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.

      @@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.

      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.

      @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

    Watching your videos and how you make your camper showers is just amazing. You give me so many good ideas for my camper. And who cares how long it takes to set up because you have a shower and at the end of the day that's the greatest feeling is going to bed after a nice warm shower. keep up the great work.

    You need a larger seat cushion, The old one is just too short and when sitting on it your legs will rest against the area not covered by the cushion and cause numbness .

      @joemcdonough2765 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    Well Slim, I am so glad that you posted this video, on my new cargo trailer conversion the shower issue has another solution, conventional shower pans and framing the enclosure was one of my main hold ups. Never in a thousand years would I have thought of a laundry tub. Also the hot water idea has me reconsidering a hot water heater. Thanks, Richard.

    I have a small rv with a shower and yet I watched this.. You're so entertaining and this was well thought out and clearly explained. I really enjoyed it! Thank you. If you put a pvc pipe in the green tote cut to fit so that it stays in the container and is just long enough to stay upright, you can run your pump hose down into the green tote and ditch the dishpan. It will keep the hose from curling up in the tote..

    One of my campers had a small bathroom with the drain in the floor that drained straight to the ground. A previous owner removed the tanks. So i would heat water and place it in a 5 gallon bucket and use a plastic drink cup to pour it over myself. Worked beautifully.
