Hi Naami,

Welcome to the forum !

What size of a TTT are you thinking of? A 'slouchy' or a
PopTop of sorts? And is the shower needing to be inside or
can it be outside? I have some pics of an Australian homebuilt
nontraditional shaped slouchy with a nice outside shower setup
that I could post if you want. Meanwhile here is a link to one
of your South African OffRoad PopTop caravans/campers with an
inside shower/bath that I think has a really great design approach.
[I don't know the price though.] It could easily be 'emulated' in your
own build.

Hi, and welcome aboard. If you plan on having a shower inside a teardrop trailer, you will have to take a shower on your knees, as true teardrops are built to not allow standing up within it. However, if a shower is a must, there are many different styles of showers that can be obtained, built or purchased, that are free-standing, outside of the tear. Check it out.

Greetings and welcome. One alternative is what we did and that is having a shower point on the outside to be used with a shower tent. That is coupled with our 6Gal RV water heater.
