I looked at this rear shower stall design about a year ago... weights
on the bottom, inside flap to separate the shower stall from the
interior. Haven't made one yet. If you raise the westy hatch and make
a paper pattern, you could sew or hot-glue a nice fitting curtain
that could velcro on to the open hatch. There would be minimum stuff
to haul, store or mess with.

You could also add snaps like the rear screen around the inner
(hidden when closed) surfaces of the rear hatch.
