My hot shower system inside my vanbuild. I will never go without a shower again! After my 10 day trip this past year into Yellowstone and the public shower closed because of covid. I wanted a sure fire way to have a hot shower. This system can be easily done outside, but I wanted the freedom to be able to shower inside the van.
I hope this video is informative and you may find some value. I sure did.
Thank you for watching.
Happy travels.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

@@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

@lethiapage4767 10 месяцев назад

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.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 5 месяцев назад

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

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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!

@paulphillips6151 3 месяца назад

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

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 3 месяца назад

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. 😊

@61Rebekah 4 месяца назад

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.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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.

@jamesbrook16 4 месяца назад

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!!

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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!

@jamesbrook16 4 месяца назад

@@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.

Any issues with scalding hot water for the first few seconds if the pump pressure drops?

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

It never was scalding hot. The water that was pulled through the device from the bucket was cold

@mysticaloneness5860 Год назад

Question...does the seat rip the bottom of the tub?

No. It's all real sturdy. The company I bought the pop up made a quality product.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

Why

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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.

@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17 4 месяца назад

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. 🙄

@deanngardner5578 4 месяца назад

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
