Fold up shower

Postby Rainier70 » Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:31 pm

I thought this was an interesting fold up shower design. Nice springboard for ideas. Put a drain at the back of the pan so that when you tip it the residual drains out too. Fun to look at anyway.

That is food for thought. Do you have a link for this?

I've seen it repeated before in a couple of places. This is one of them.

You might google "folding shower". I was googling "folding shower floor" for an outdoor shower when I came across it.

It is a little bit similar to the idea of what I am in the process of doing in my cargo trailer, but I am using a wash machine low profile pan.

Pretty neat!

Thanks for sharing it!

I use a cloth shower curtain, hung off the side of the tear, some areas don't allow you to let the water just go on the ground, I'm making duckboards to go in plastic cement mixing tub. the duck boards keep us from standing in the dirty water.

When I saw this one earlier, I tried to think on how I could make one. Then I decided to throw that idea away and just stay with a simple approach. That is the lesson I am learning here.

Go to amazon.com and search using "inflatable tub" or "spa". It will result in a few good options for baths that would easily fit under an easy up (Just page down past the $300+ options). There are a lfew that are $60 - $150. If you get a 30-40 cup coffee maker/urn, you could have enough hot water for a warm bath; just add a few gallons of cold water.

Do you think there are feet under that pan? Surely that hinge couldn't hold the weight.

From pictures Imhave seen earlier, the base of the platform rests right on the floor. So yes, that is one large foot.
