Shower system suggestion

[Lip RIPPER!]

Just curious as to what people use at their cabins/deer camps for showering systems. We have electricity and a shower stall (no running water)and have been using the 5 gallon bucket method and heating water on the stove on years. Looking to do something else. ANy suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Check the Camping section of any outdoor store and you should find a portable shower station that can be used as solar heat (not very warm) or propane on demand type unit. A friend would use a 55 gallon drum with a 12 volt pump with a five gallon hot water tank system similar to a rv water heater when he use to camp

get a portable bilge pump with batter connectors and hook to vexilar battery or bigger. Put bilge in water source and run a hose to "shower head."

Or buy something like one of these. One with a pump would be for no running water.

I have built a shower using a 30 gallon steel drum, a turkey cooker heater and a hose. If you add a 12 volt pump like is used in an RV you have a great setup. Water temp was measured with the outdoor part of an indoor/outdoor thermometer.

A bilge pump is always on. An RV pump is only one when there is water running.

We have about a 30 gallon stainless tank mounted on a wall 7 to 8 feet up in our shower/dressing room. We heat the water with a propane wall lamp about a foot below the tank. To get the water into the tank we pump it from a barrel with a bilge pump. Just to the side we have a standard shower stall and gravity feed the water through a handheld shower head. Before we leave in the morning we turn on the light and by 5 it's hot. We usually only put 15 to 20 gallons in so there it room to temper with cooler water if needed. It works great.

Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming so I can share with the boys this weekend. All great ideas. We have used the bilge and battery system before. Just was curious to what everyone else was doing.

You guys shower?.?!.?...

(Actually I'm lucky enough that we have full water and power at camp. Farm country more than up north...)

We heat water in a turkey fryer and dump into a big drum. We have a sump pump in the drum and it pushes the water thru the copper tubing into the shower stall. We use it deer hunting and ice fishing. The key is to remember to drain all the water from the tubing to prevent pipes breaking after each days use. At the lake cabin we collect rain water in a drum and run it thru a instant hot water heater via a transfer pump. That works great but it can be to cold deer hunting to use that system. You have to be able to drain all water after each day's use if temps get cold.

Well, we have a sauna and a lake pump. After the water is heated by the sauna fire, we pour it into a bucket that is on a ceiling pulley. I've got a camp shower nozzle and tube mounted in the bottom of the bucket, so just hoist up the warm water, pull out the nozzle, and you've got a shower.

I was going to do what you're doing. What do you not like about it? I was going to try and put a corner shower stall (36") in the front V
