I am curious if anyone has any suggestions on putting together an
indoor shower. I have a 17'
Burro Widebody trailer with a real
bathroom, but unfortunately, no hot water heater. I am trying to
figure out how to rig up a shower using hot water from a
solar shower
bag. I have seen some set ups in the past where people will pour the
hot water from the
solar shower into a large 5 gallon bucket, and then
use a pump (maybe a bilge pump?) to pump the water to a shower head in
the shower. The two things I am looking advice on are what kind of
pump would work best, and what is a good brand of water-saving
hand-held shower head? I have looked at some bilge pumps that pump at
360 gph (60gpm), but I am worried the bilge pump could burn up if it
was constricted by a 1.5 gpm shower head. I have read about the Coleman
portable shower in other postings, but I don't like that it is powered by batteries. I
would like to be able to wire the pump into the 12 V system. I am hoping to keep this project affordable. I really only need to buy the bilge pump, the on/off switch, and maybe a better shower head.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or have fabricated something similar without batteries?
