Folding Shower for Small Spaces
My own mentally-Bookmarked design for a future Trailer was to nab a used Shower Pan from the local Building Recycling joint. Recess it to be flush with the Trailer Frame/Floor. Modify Frame as necessary. When not in use, a piece of Cabinet-grade Plywood would set in – on small Blocks, if necessary – to create flush Floor space. A Porta Potty, or Sawdust ‘Bucket’, could optionally sit there otherwise.
Bend some used Conduit into a square-corner ‘U’ for the Shower Curtain Rail. Install opaque Curtain, if desired, to use the Shower Curtain outside, too. Mount Rail into 2 – 45 degree Wall-mount Flag Holders, as used outside Homes. These hold the Curtain Rail by friction fit, allowing Rail removal/storage as req’d. Or, allow the Shower Rail to hinge down on a pinned arrangement. The Shower Rail end not on the Wall could be held up by Cord and a Hook.
Plumb like any other Trailer Shower. Use a Propane Demand Water Heater. Alternately, use a ~10 Gallon Electric Heater to allow use on Grid Power. Optionally Solar heat Water in 10 Gallon Heater by circulating w/a low Voltage Pump through 1 Rooftop Solar Panel.
Use +12 Volt Trailer ‘Demand’ Pump [‘Shurflo’] for Water pressure. As always, reusing components when possible would lower Project cost.
