Shower and toilet enclosure thread

[R_Lefebvre]

No, I can see the thread at IH8Mud, but I can't get the link for the enclosure at Cabelas. Nor can I find it through searching direct.

This is the link that's not working for me:

It is gone, I bet they no longer offer it.
The only Cabelas brand one I see is the same one I have that I have not opened up yet to test out.

 

[R_Lefebvre]

Ok, that's what I feared. Bummer.

C ra p..I see what you mean...sorry. Maybe give them a buzz on the 800 number and see if they are going to offer it. I do have my old one that was used only once, (from wally world)a bit of a pain to put up, but in great condition. I'll be looking to get rid of it for 20$ plus shipping.

Well, today I spent a good portion cleaning my spare room where my camping gear is stored.
Consolidating my gear so it fits easier into the rig.

I thought to myself it was time to setup this Cabelas shower shelter.
I looked at the instructions and said screw it

I ended up looking online at the OutBack Privy.

I ended up ordering one from Bass Pro's website, but they are on backorder, but should be in this week.

Still going to setup the Cabelas one sometime, but it looks like it will take a long time to setup, and I want something easier.
The PETT one sets up very fast, but as seen by other posts by me, I was not happy with the quality of it at all.

PS, just buzzed through this entire thread again, and it does seem the Cabelas one I bought last August is a two person job to setup.

Also saw this picture back a few pages.
It reminded me of my PETT Pup bowing over too in the mild wind I encountered up at Mt. Rainier.

It seems many are happy with the Outback Privy, and the other one that looks similar to that Cabelas carries.

Someone should shoot a good video on how to fold it back up and host it with YouTube.
I did a search on the Tube, and not video for it exists yet.
The one on Outbacks site is not the best.

I think I made the right decision getting this one, as a lot of my camping will be solo, and I read how hard the Cabelas one is to setup.

Is this what you all are lookin for? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t.../search-box.jsp.form23&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1

I used google shopping to find my OutBack Privy (Ithink I got it at EMERGENCY ESSENTIALS). Really good product easy to pack and unpack.
Here is the pic of this weekend camping. I didn't like that the PETT waste bags leak a little, but they work pretty good, no smell.

How about the STINKY PETE? It is marketed as a shower toilet enclosure but not mentioned here.

I don't have much by way of experience with these plastic portajon deals, but for rafting trips i've used old ammo cans/rocket boxs that go by the name of "groovers" because the literally leave grooves in your backside. the tricky part is the lack of a release valve...and were therefore sometimes known to either slowly release on their own, or do so rather suddenly and violently, even when strapped down to the raft frame. anyway...
the real reason i'm posting is to share my shower idea. It's probably one of the cheaper options out there, and definitely good for the DIY'er. I took a couple of pieces of 2 and a half inch PVC tubing and the correct fittings to create a three rung "rocket launcher" lookin' thing that fit between the kayak stackers on my roof. the fittings were on the back end and all funnelled down to an on/off valve at the bottom that could screw into a hose. I stored the 4 foot section of hose in the bed of the truck and when i was using it, i'd either attach an on/off valve to the squirting end, so that i could control it from the ground, or just kink it when i didn't need water.
It held somewhere between 5 and 8 gallons, and seeing as it was painted black, it would heat up in the day, and after an evening of surfing, I'd have a nice warm rinse with a great sunset view. I didn't really worry about an enclosure...just a swimsuit.

Just a Thule sticker...kinda almost looks maybe professional

Cheers,

Just an update, Bass Pro Shops emailed me to let me know they are not getting any in for up to 60 days.
Going to cancel with them.

I just bought one from
http://beprepared.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_CH S100_A_name_E_Outback Porta Privy Privacy Shelter

They are in stock there.

i dont know about you guys but im a big fan of the DUI projects. unfotunatly i dont have any pics but what i did was whent to home hardware, baught me some PVC piping, quick connects and the like, went to my local fabric shop baught some light weight sunbrella and made my own. if something breaks its less than 1$ to fix and you can just about get spares anywhere. probbaly cost me about $75 all said and done.

This idea works fantastic, great sun shower..........

I first saw this at a Nascar race when the Redneck school bus rigs show up at the Infield. I have seen the whole roof length of a bus lined with these, in a large diameter no less.

 

[winch wench]

i definitely like the Outback...
im prolly gonna go with that
