very nice unit to shower with but the cost would deter me from the purchase.
I used to participate in the sport of triathlon and I travelled to these
events in my '80 Ford Econoline Van. I had a solar shower water bag attached
to the rear roof via a boat rack. After a run, bike ride or race I would
open the rear side-by side doors, strip to my speedo's, shower and dry off,
open the side sliding door and get in and change into shorts or whatever.
Many of my friends would come over to the van and use the water that
remained. This was very inexpensive and handy, that is if you are not
someone that is shy about what you look like in a swim suit. Ten years and
30 lbs later and I might be one of these shy people.


Has anyone hung a full-time solar shower off of a Vanagon? The rear hatch
design seems to be a problem with my previous design. any suggestions?
