...that is the link I had posted earlier about finding the volume of a tank...unfortunately, in this case, figuring out what percentage in decimals, 3/4" is in comparison to a foot was just more math than I wanted to deal with :? ....

You could lay some dark colored garden hose on top of the teardrop. That would get pretty hot...

Assuming 3/4" id garden hose you would need 43 feet per gallon.

3.14x900x8x12=271296.00/231=1174.44 gallons... that outa do it.
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

...lets see...that works out to about 220' for 5 gal of water...yeah, I think the solar shower bag would work out better...of course so would the HWoD units.....
