...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.

Mike...

Actually, if you consider the heat in KS, the teardrop itself gets pretty hot during the day, so if you have good rubber on the windows and doors you could just stick a hose in the fantastic fan and fill the entire TD for a nice big hot water supply....hmmm, lets see, a 5' TD w/ 8' of interior (bed) space....this is of course if the interior is "round" inside... consider not everything is square I'll just assume it's more round than straight

3.14x900x8x12=271296.00/231=1174.44 gallons... that outa do it.

...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.....
