Hi all,

I will have to look for a porta-potty too. The GF wants something for
middle of the night emergencies.
And for the morning ones too. here is the

About the shower, I was thinking of a (black) water bag, that I would
leave on the roof to heat up during the day.
Plugged to a regular (shorter) shower. Gravity would make the water come
down. It would take a portable curtain (I have seen some circular ones
on camping catalogs year ago). The bag idea was there too.
it is still findable:

Very simple, ok only in summer time and very limited (1 or 2 persons
depending on the volume). It would not be the best for morning showers,
unless you live quite South. Unless a solar resistance could be
incorporated. or another system?

I like thoses ones.

there are plenty of them.

I would not mess inside the camper. I know of some winibagos that have
shower right in the middle of the van. the curtain and shower comes down
from the room, you have to remove a trap on the floor of the van and
that's the bottom of the shower.
