Subject:Re: Shower from sink set up

My plan is to by a second westy water (sink) reservoir submersible
12 volt pump and a length of clear plastic hose to fit on the end with
some (solar shower) type of spray on the end of that.  I will need a
12 volt source (maybe one at the back of the van (with on/off switch)
or one in the "kitchen"  to drive the pump).  Then I will just drop the
submersible 12 volt water pump into any  open gerry-can and
PRESTO!!!  a shower.  My plan is to drape some rip-stop nylon
around the back of the opened rear westy lid for privacy, with a
shower curtain snapped into the Westy mosquito net snaps to keep
the water out of the rear of the van.   This project is not yet done so
this is just theory.   Malcolm
