To Doug's post, I'd like to add that I've tried out two or three
different shower enclosures. The Outback that Doug mentions is the best
I've found so far. It's light (you know how I fret about weight), e-z to
set up (SPROING!!! -- one of those pretensioned jobbies that requires a
degree in four-dimensional geometry to figure out how to curve back into
hoops for packing), and has a handy port low down on one side for the
shower reservoir > heater line. Stakes down pretty well - I upgraded the
ropes and stakes and have tried it in some stiffish winds and it stays
plunked. At $49 it's worthwhile.
