We've been using a Zodi shower for a few years, but recently I bought one of these off of eBay ($20):
http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Outdoor- ... pet+shower

The older model Zodi runs off of several D cell batteries and is bulky. I think this will be the ticket (for us).

I have no idea why it's marketed as a pet shower. Other than a dry run plugged into the teardrop's 12v outlet we have not used it, but the quality seems to be there. It's got a sliding stainless bar at the shower head that turns the flow off and on and controls the volume. We'll heat our water to 108º on the stove and plug this critter in.

I can see the headlines now:

Dozens arrested when a shower demo got out of hand

A brawl at a local campground resulted it the arrest of over two dozen campers. A shower demo at a teardrop gathering took a turn for the worst when old fart number one stepped in front of old fart number 2. OF#2 took umbrage to being cut in front of which blocked his view of the demo. OF#2 then belted OF#1. It wasn't the end of things because OF#1's wife stepped in and decked her husband. OF#1 got back up and thought that OF#2 was the one that hit him the second time, and the brawl was on.

It took sheriff deputies a long time to gain control, mostly because they were “waiting” for the shower demo to end before arresting the combatants.

We just picked up a TexSport shower tent with a bladder shower. We set it up inside the living room the other night just to see how it's put together. It will be a good place for the porta potty too. We do a lot of dry camping and thought it would be better than washing in a pot off the stove. Now we just need some biodegradable soap and shampoo.

You're right, I dug thru the scrap bin.

It's made from parts from a boat, wringer washer, hot tub, jeep cj5, and scraps. Housed in a recycled kitty litter bucket....
Only stuff I bought was a set of jumper cables and a short garden hose....

Not your standard shower, for sure....
