A new friend met at Busses By the bridge had a connector for a shower that came out the old refrigerator vent.  He had it plumbed so the water pump powered it.  Cold water only but I thought hey if that went into my solar bag I’d end up with a warm shower! 

Or, a door with a touch pad to leave my key when away from the van. 
Or open up and there is a solar hook up and a 12 volt power point. 

Or a letter drop. 

A cat door?
