I've never even seen one but here it is on Amazon, and the reviews are not too bad, plus it's a little cheaper.

http://www.amazon.com/Big-Kahuna-Portable-Shower/dp/B013IRIF8K/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

It comes in three different sizes...4.7, 8.0, and 13.0 gals. My only concern would be lack of pressure. It looks like it has an internal pump and it powered via a cigarette lighter plug, which means it can't be much of a pump.

If you buy it from Amazon, at least you have 30 days to return it if you're not satisfied.

I have a location / ventilation problem installing a propane water heater.
I can install an electrical one but that might create a batteries problem, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Roof rack

Did someone made a roof rack from PVC tubing?? Like 1" with 1/8 walls??
.
Its very easy to work with, all you need is a tube catting tool and PVC glue.
The question is how reliable and strong can it be.

I've seen racks made from bent and welded EMT conduit, but I wouldn't use PVC. It's weight handling properties are very poor, and it's not UV stable, so you'd need to paint it. I just bought a Surco rack that's made from 3/4" aluminum tubing and the whole 45"x50" rack is VERY light (Amazon says 24lbs). I'd start there long before I considered something as fragile as PVC.

The thing is that I can't have a regular rack because I want a rack above the cabin.
I need a custom made, wide T shaped rack, sitting on the two front "horns".

PVC is not the correct material to build a roof rack out of. Hold a 10' piece of 1" at the end and look at how much deflection you get just under it's own weight.
Maybe consider using 80/20 aluminum extrusions for a custom shape without welding.

 

[rlrenz]

PVC is definitely not the material to use for a rooftop rack. It will sag, plus, daylight's UV will degrade it. You need to either weld or bolt up something from aluminum extrusions. I wouldn't want to hang much weight you hang on those supports - they are just made to support a lightbar, and that's probably less than 15 pounds. You might need to add a diagonal brace from the end of the support down to the body.

Since you are the AMBO expert . . .

I have these sliding glass doors, which I'm trying to remove.
Two of them are already cracked.
They are inserted very accurately, you can't lift them up a bit and pull them out
like regular sliding doors.
.
Do you know how can I remove them without smashing the glass?

 

[patoz]

Look in the tracks themselves (the groves that the glass slides in) and you should see some very small philips head screws, probably two at each end at least. I haven't removed any of mine, so I can't tell you exactly how the frame comes out. It may come out intact or as sections.

Mystery solved . . .
.
I found the two screws but I removed only from one track.
After removing from another track it moved out.
The whole frame is a 90 degree profile.

Good deal, and thanks for the info about how it comes out.
