Jason, get yourself a beer keg and a submersible pump you can put it on the hot coals and shower all day long. but try 1 project at a time get a motor finished first.

Use a funnel to add water but make sure it has a tube to the bottom. Outlet with tap usually around 2/3 to 3/4 up. All components need to made of metal. Really only used on base camps. I prefer a billy of boiling water added to cold water in a bucket and a cheap 12V shower. The cheap plastic solar showers are good in the warmer months. Keep it simple and you will have less gear to carry. -------------------- Don't tell anybody but my name is Fushin Freddie

There good for one person. The black attracts the heat to warm the water.

or you could fill with warm billy water. With 5 of them you could have a nice long shower.

What are you guys on about, 20lts is heaps for my misses and myself. I use about 5 lts and she uses the rest. How I use it: Turn on and wet yourself (with the water silly) Turn off and use your bar of soap Turn on and wash off soap. Easy How my misses uses it Turn on, winge about the tempeture of the water, lather up with soap, wash off soap. Have your husband ready to give you more water. Finished. No need to turn off as all the water is gone. As you can see I always go first. This is why I use the plastic bucket and cheap shower pump. Easy to keep topping up the water. If there is a fire ban use someone elses 4WD shower system.
