One thing that makes the outdoors a bit more enjoyable is a nice warm shower after a long day of adventures. I couldn't afford $400 camping shower, so I decided that I would make my own! After doing a ton of research and watching multiple videos, I realized that all of the videos had a ton of flaws, so I decided to make my own.
This camper shower is solar heated, pressurized by bike pump, and cost under $150! The video includes step by step instructions including what materials and tools you need from start to finish. Links to all of the materials needed are below.
