Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not... this is my shower install from back in 2009.

Not an answer, you got that already, but here's a neat alternative. For those who want a shower, but don't want to do a permanent install.

In SW Florida during the summer, all you have to do is wait for 3 o'clock... the rain starts and you get a free shower...

I wish I had seen this before I installed mine.

Interesting idea....certainly seems simple and easy!
Not sure his video above really is attempting to tap the right market. Most people have a hose in their back yard to wash the dog with! He needs a marketing person! Salt water and fishing washdown while out on the water and camping....now there's some markets...

Huh?
It's cheaper at West Marine than at Amazon.
This never happens. Is it the end of the world and no one told me?

I find a ton of overpriced stuff at Amazon. You always need to price check no matter where you shop.

I hate when that happens!
BUT, then I figure up gas, my time and local taxes and I end up buying from Amazon. Ten bucks more for the 8 gallon, heck tax alone is $13.41 at my local rate - I just checked, no tax for me on Amazon! They don't sell the 13 gal. at West Marine and Amazon has it for $169.00. Not bad I'd say.
Actually I'm getting a bit queasy thinking of how much I spent on my install -
Besides, I have a great collection of cardboard boxes that I'm very proud of and need to collect more.

That's a great way to put it. If someone ask, from now on, I am going to just tell them I collect boxes.

Half the fun is researching and ordering!

Yeah, I'd love to build one from scratch but I can't get the time to install a kit much less figure out all the parts I need and put together. I found this kit really cheap, that's really the only reason I bought it when I did.
