Hi there,

Cool setup Blake.  I did kind of the same thing...

I recently set my westy up with a shower.  I went the total REI route for
around $50.

I hang the shower curtain from the corner of the rear door (with the door
open).  I put the shower bag on top of the rear door.  I use a home made
dowel rod with rubber coated hooks on each end to keep the back door open
since the struts can't handle the additional weight of the water bag on the
door.

The setup is pretty quick and works great for nice pseudo-warm shower after
a cold morning surfing.  I'll hopefully post some pictures at some point in
time.

I recently replied (off list) to Rachelle (packing list) and suggested she
take a Westy Shower with her:

Then, I got wondering if anyone else has put one of these in their westys
or if I'm the only one (OK, I know I'm not the only one because I got the
idea second hand off someone).
