I keep a Doppler radar in mine when not showering. But it's better-looking than this dorky-looking thing: That said, those Paha Que shower enclosures can be had with bathtub-like floor enclosures to control gray water. And they have this interesting (backordered) Power Shower rechargable pump/heater thingie "...This compact, pressurized water system is solar-heated battery-powered, and requires no fuel. And it gives you a full five gallons of heated water for a shower or bath. Also great for doing the dishes, cleaning outdoor gear, or just about anything else where you need good, warm water." > The creepy, stinky vinyl? outfit appears to be the same material as > vanagon tilts-looks very Vanagonesque? & it's German!
