I got our shower tent today! It took me about 15 mins. to set it up for the first time, I expect the next time around will go a little quicker now that I have done it.
Hi April,

Thanks for the great report.

Sure looks like a lot of trouble to set up, though. Think one would eventually be able to put one up in less than, say, two minutes (my patience threshold with tents)?

Looks like if one got on their knees the hair would be no issue...

Same setup we have but haven't set it up yet. Thanks for the photos April.

It is actually quite simple, and only took me so long the first time because I like to make sure I understand how it works before I start putting things together. It has 4 poles that slide through a short sleeve and plug into a 4 way receiver at the top of the tent. then you just clip the sides on to the pole and plug in the pin at the bottom, very easy and it wasn't difficult for one person to do alone. I am guessing my next attempt will take no longer than 5 mins. to complete.

I am hoping we will only need to use the shower tent once in a while, as many of the camping grounds have some kind of facilities.

Just came across this new pop-up shower tent model which looks sturdier than the Outback one. Has anyone seen it?

Trekker Fold-A-Privy

I might give it at try (if I can source one in Canada, that is).

We have a small screen room made that way. You take it out of the bag, begin to unfold it, and mostly just let go of it while it pops into shape. Getting it properly twisted and re-folded takes some practice, so I strongly encourage you to try it a few times at home before venturing out with it.

I seriously doubt that it would hold the weight of a solar bag in the top without collapsing, but for all those using the various external reservoir tanks, it would probably work great.

We picked one up at Sears in Canada, similar to Aprils. Might be worth checking out come spring. Got it at 50-60% off too!

Hi April - looks and sounds like a good choice. Thanx for posting info & pics.

We have a similar "privacy room" (the brand name escapes me; think it came from Cabela's but no longer shows on their website) and we love it. Assembly sounds similar, but the flexible frame is not study enough to support the weight of a solar shower bag. We took a page from Gina's book and use a Coleman battery-operated hand-held shower with a pot of water heated on the camp stove - works great. Nor does it have a floor, which we consider a plus, as we use the tub all the shower 'stuff' travels in to stand in as we shower. We dispose of the grey water according to the extant rules of our camping spot.

Wishing you nice hot showers, safe journeys and many, many happy memories. Take care, L 'n D
