OK, I have taken my photos down, but in the summer, the best shower for a
westy is a home built shower.  It is very easy.  Here is what you need:

- A solar sun shower (REI).
- A hula hoop (smaller the better) (Target)
- a small rubber maid container (target) (approx 2' x 3')
- 2 shower curtains with clips (target)
- 3 carabineers (REI)
- Rope

You should be able to figure it from the ingrediant list, but you stand in
the rubber-maid container with the shower curtain around you.  The pop-top
needs to be up with the hula hoop hanging with rope (and I use the
carabineers to attach to the hula hoop).

I've spent some time in my van full-time and this works quite nice for
temperatures above about 40-50.  If the temp is low I can heat water for
the shower and it works fine.  If the temperature is in the 30's I start
looking for a shower that is inside.

good luck.

If you are really interested, I can try and email you some pics.
