@@CLATYRhe I'm sorry I can't help you with a video. I built it with those instructions. If you print it out, you can use Google for a inches to cm conversion and write in place of the inches. I am not a carpenter, and I was able tp build this with these instructions. Just google as you go on how to do each step and go slow. Good luck
Baguettes and cheese are always in my pack. Bananas, nuts, olives, cookies and a cafe cortado twice daily. I am 4 days from Santiago. The journey is difficult and amazing! I am not tired at all! I trained for 6 months prior, walking 3 to 6 miles 5 days a week with a 5lb backpack.
Can you buy just the tub? The shower looks great, but I’m a cheapskate, I have heated water, poured it into a five gallon bucket, then taken a big sponge used for car washing, and showered that way, when my RV was winterized
Yes you can, the link is in the description below. Also I have a cheap rechargeable shower pump you can also buy off amazon that you can put in a bucket of warm water to shower. Definitely worth it. I hope that answers your question. Have a great day. 😊
There are soooo many colors and models of the xlt, lot of new brighter and feminine colors for the ladies out there. When you strap them on and make it to the summit, your feet will thank you... Plus the XLT is a very durable sandal that will last you years... When you need traction they're good, but they can also be worn when you stand in a nice refreshing stream. XLT is the technical hiker almost before you have to strap on Alp model for climbing. @@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17
That is very cool, do you think it is a good product after using several times? The time it takes to set up and empty it? I would be interested in a system like this.
I do think it's worth it, if your going to be out for days and not near a shower. I was in Yellowstone for a week and the showers were closed down because of covid. After 4 days of sponge baths a hot shower is amazing! For me, it's just having an option if the gym is not accessible. I hope that answered your question.
@@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 Yes it did. Thank you so much. Ive been getting myself ready to hit the road, and now researching solar and showers, and this is the best Ive seen. Thank you.
Now tip your grey water away. Where? Now dry your shower enclosure. Now get some more water. Refills? Or just get a strip wash or find a campground every few days. Or join a gym!!
I know! Alot of work just to have a shower. I used planet fitness, which was amazing! I created this because during 2021 I was in Yellowstone on my first 2 week solo female travels. Because of covid the showers in the park were closed. I drove an hour just to get a shower. I did go to the lodge and pay for a shower there. I think it was $9. Anyhow, this is the reason to have this in my build.
2.5 gallons is not alot of water. I set my shower outside the van to dry. I have a 5 gal collapsible bucket. I only used 2.5 gallons for a 5 min shower. My kitchen fresh water tank has 7 gallons. In the trunk I have another 5 gallons. After 7 days in Yellowstone national park. I never had to find water, it was always available. BUT I totally agree with you! Getting out of the van to take a shower is heavenly. Thank you for all your bullet points. I wish I was more clear on certain things, I try to make real short videos just to give others ideas! Again thank you!
@@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17,just watched the video again. I thought I was missing something and I was! Recycling the water. Put the collapsible water container outside on the ground with the pump. Then drain from your shower enclosure back into the water container. Benefits: you would use must less water - maybe manage on a gallon? Your husband could follow you in! As you shower the drained water would be warm meaning you would use less gas (if the unit is thermostatically controlled) Only potential issue is if the soapy water would eventually contaminate/clog up the power unit - you would need to check with the manufacturer.
Just found your channel (shower video in my feed) This was so well done! The way you looked at the 'other person' convinced me at first you had a twin. 😂 I subbed.
It's not a hot steamy shower, and you ventilate with a fan. I have 2 usb rechargeable fans. Always wipe things down after using the collapsible tub. I also made sure it did not splash outside of the tub.
Sorry I keep thinking of things. When I collapsed the tub out of the van I wiped it down and let the sun dry it out. Every scenario will be different, and adjust how you take the shower accordingly to your environment. 🙄
I have a similar tub made out of plastic And I shower at night and then dump my water and just put my tub outside of my van and let it dry overnight LOL and then put it away in the morning
@@dans9463 it was actually nicely warm. We also used this in our home for a week while our hot water tank was being repaired. We filled our tub with water and the pump hose was long enough to reach the shower stall
Once the water was warm, which was immediate. It stayed warm. The water ran through device and heated it. Last year our furnace failed We brought the device in our home and filled the tub with water and had a hot shower for a week. It was a life saver.
Hi Barbara Jo. I also have 3 months to our Camino. I live in Washington too. My brother is going with me. First time. I have walked the last 2 days 6-8 miles while wearing my pack with 8 lbs in it to get used to it. I don't think it feels very heavy on my back. I also opted for an Osprey BP 32L. I enjoyed watching your training videos.
When I get up in the morning I roll the sheets and blanket toward the back and the mattress piece, there is plenty of room back there, also it does not block my rear view when I'm driving
Here is a video showing how I make my bed for the day. Sorry for all the responses. Thank you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-98MTeaS-ZDk.htmlsi=shSYH3in1oLV1GPO
@@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 I really appreciate all the info. I have all my wood, screws, brackets, etc and I'm picking up my mattress tomorrow(I found something similar locally)! I may have to go to Wal-Mart or something to get a carving knife. I'm eager to have my bed. All my supplies are taking up my space in the van!
Good afternoon! The link on the build plan in the description below the video. Once I get to my computer I'll get the link and send it to you. Have a blessed day!
Hi Barbara. I'm so happy I met you in the Freddy's parking lot earlier today. Not sure I'll do this myself but it's fascinating. I watched the tour of your "camper" - very creative! Traveling mercies to you, Jan
Great video! How is that popup working after a year? Im sure when this was new it was great (if knees allow) but i wonder if the floor of the tub is still holding on. If it started to leak youd have to take it outside or risk flooding your van.
I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, I never have had to use it. It was so much easier to walk into a planet fitness amd get out of the van, workout and shower. One of my first trips was 10 days in Yellowstone. The public showers in the park were closed, so I needed a backup. Thank you
Hello, I appreciate your comments. A couple people have mentioned being on their knees. I was on a little plastic folding step stool, it worked perfectly. Thank you!
