Shower and toilet enclosure thread

[Coachgeo]

For the toilet side (little off topic of showers but.. its about Tents)
I sell the PETT system as close to cost plus a little as I can. But... that being said if you got the time to spare and an extra hand.... save the money and buy a cheaper toilet tent. PETT is a GREAT TENT buttt... it's cost will buy you a lot of Poo Powder. (I sell that too... shameless plug but hey.. your supporting an member right:victory: )

If you camp somwhat secluded you might even consider a long rain style Poncho for cover while sitting on the Royal Throne of your choice. Just put on the poncho. Pull your drawers have a seat and read your favorite 4x4 magazine. If it's long enough then it Keeps mosquitos off your legs too.

Now back on topic- Showers- JC Whitney sells some inexpensive enclosures. You can make them out of PVC, shower rings, etc. Have seen homebrews that attach to roof racks, trailer sides, roll cages etc.

The most cost effective well that is easy.... a reasonabl costing swim suit!!! Who needs curtains.

Now for THE BEST all around..... swim trunks and a kids inflatalbe pool filled with filtered lake water via a 12v RV pump, heated via a heat exchanger from engine coolant. TADAAAA all natural Jacuzi (sorta). Great for club trips. Just watch out for drunks and other peoples wives, especialy when the swim suit is the cheapest type (provided by nature):smileeek: :smilies27 :sunflower

Well I ordered a Pett system this week. Looking Forward to It's arrival.

 

[Nullifier]

Well My complete Pett system got here today. This thing is the ********!!! (pun intended) Toilet, canopy, wagg bags and case. I have to say I was a bit of a skeptic when ordering this. The quality is good and set up of the canopy is easy. Probably a few more steps to setting up and breaking down camp then I would like but it is a neccesary thing for the wife.

Now I'm trying to decide on shower systems.

The Pett tent should have a place built in it to hang a portable shower head.

Another use for that signal orange poncho! Rain gear , biological threat ('skeeter) detering , emergency visual signaling , porta potty privacy device.

I like it! A true multi-functional item!
And under $3 :victory:

Quick search brought me back here...

Those with the Pett toilet, is it stable? Will it hold up to use from 225# users?

I use the OUTBACK unit. I love it. Nothing to put together it practically sets itself up and is very compact and light weight. The guy lines hold it down nice but if it is windy I recommend using the sand bags that come with it. It also comes with a removable floor. Sportsmans Warehouse has it for $39.99.

What is the inside of that one like? Is there a place to hang up a hose/shower head? A place for shampoo/soap? What is the floor like?
Thanks

The floor is made of the same material as the sides. I've never used it but I believe it is attached using simple velcro connections. I would just wear sandals or use one of those folding wood floors instead of the one it comes with. There is a space to run a shower head in from the outside along with a couple of tie offs for it. There are a couple of clear plastic holders on the walls to place soap etc. For $39 it's not a bad product and once you figure out the correct way to fold it up it is very quick to tear down.

Does anyone have experience with the Zodi shower enclosure?

 

[jnelson4x4taco]

I had an idea to put little tubes sticking out of a roofrack that you could slide in some PVC pipe and use some type of thumb screw to tighten it down. Then just use a normal shower curtain to put around it and voila! You could put another small pipe there to hold a solar shower bag or shower head. Are there things i am overlooking with this idea? I estimate it to cost around $10

EDIT: I just read coachgeo's post and saw that some people have done this, does anyone have pics of this or any experience with how they work?

Here is my setup. I like it. Setup isn't really that quick like the others, however the quality is top notch. It also helps to have two people, but is not needed. I like the fact that it has an attached self draining floor, shelves and a towel rack. It doesn't take up much room in the tentrax

And here's the honey pot. The bags are very tidy and user friendly.

If you look on the tongue box, you can see the bucket on the trail.

They carry the PahaQue privy shelter/shower at Costco for $122 shipped.

We've got the Paha too. It is the sturdiest, most rigid shower/shyter tent I've found...but kind of a hassle to assemble as the poles go up the inside of the tent through little loops; and if you're not REAL carefull you'll (I mean "I'll" ) poke right through the mesh top...go ahead ask me how I know this one!. If they would have just made full coverage pole sleeves it would assemble a whole lot easier/faster.

Then I bought one from Sportsman's Warehouse (same one that Cabela's carries)...that we demoed at SnT last November...and it assembles alot easier/quicker; has more room; has a nice ceiling hook that holds the shower head perfectly; etc. But it folds up like a circus tent if there is any breeze at all (you have to guy all corners out) and it uses multi-part steel (non-shock corded so that it takes even more patience and time to assemble...good thinking guys!) poles making the whole package large & heavy.

In other words there is still time and opportunity for someone to make one that is perfect!

I'm ready to buy a shower shelter and thought I would bring this thread back to life. I went to Cabelas today and I like the one they sell becuase it has a floor and plenty of hooks and pockets inside. I've never owned a shower shelter and would like to buy the right one the first time. So if $$ wasn't a factor which would be best and why?
