favorite adds: 1. a shower (see below) 2. a urinal (see below) 3. a pair of 55watt driving lites from kmart that work beautifully ($20 on sale) 4. slipped tire innertubes over the table posts so they pivot smoothly and solidly lock into place for travel. shower directions: (not hot, not powerful, but quick, cheap and effective. feels great when you're done!) 1. get about 10' of plastic tubing from the hardware store with the correct diameter to slip over the faucet outlet. 2. slip a showerhead of your choice on the end. i found a kitchen faucent spraying attachment works nice. it rains straight down on you. 3. loop it over the horizontal poptop support bar and hang it from the skylight w/ a bungee. 4. get a large plastic bin that you can stand and shower in. you can store stuff like frisbees and shoes in it in the back while you're traveling. put it in the middle of the van 5. attach 2 shower curtains to a hoola hoop. i find the bright orange ones work best. 6. tuck one side of the hoop between the upper bunk cushions and hang the other w/ bungee from horizontal support bar 7. turn on water and get clean 8. dump out water from bin (also works well for outdoor shower in private areas) Urinal: (also simple, cheap, elegant, and effective. If used carefully, it's perfectly clean & sanitary too) 1. get a "y" adapter from hardware store that fits the plastic tube from sink to ground. 2. splice into sink drain tube 3. attach second tube to other y end 4. find a stopper that fits this--pvc connectors work fine if filled. 5. get funnel (size/shape/color of choice)that plugs into end of extra tube. 6. when need arises, plug in the funnel and use. 7. rinse w/ water. 8. re-cork and push tube 2 back into cabinet. __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
