Solar shower

[angel]

Has anybody used a solar shower before?

We're going camping in cornwall in July and have one with the tent - there is no shower block on the site though!

Are they any good? How do they work? Are they hooked up anywhere?

Whenever i've been to Cornwall its always rained, so the solar power wont be that good eh lol - so praying for bright sun in July/Aug.

Basically you hang a bag of water out in the sun and it heats up.. Then you open the valve and it pours out.

You do better taking deoderant and either having a wash in the toilet block or heat up a pan of water on your stove.

ah, that good are they lol

there's no hot water in the toilet blocks so we'll be heating the water up on the stove.

think i may need some of these too for the middle of the night

them things are mean't to be patented, called a 'she-wee', invented by a rather 'alternative' lady from oz'land.

so cheaper nastier rip off is already out


and a camp site WITHOUT a shower block?? hope its free, otherwise whats the point in it? your usually better off taking a dump in a field than in most public toilets anyways


and as for solar showers, yes, they work, until you sabbotage the hosepipe off it to drip fuel into your mates ford granda (efi!) throttle body to make it run another few hundred miles.

and as for permant solar showers, awesoem!!!! I had one in western kazahkstan, we'd been on the go for 10-12days with a ridiculous amount of problems and breakdowns (all on the mercs part), best wash I got was 4 bits of railway carriege propped up against a wooden frame, wtih a cold water tank on the top and a tap sticking out of it.
it was fecking amazing!!! (to be clean, not the build quality of the 'shower'

one of the cheapest ways to heat water on a sunny day is several 2 ltr bottles of water left in a closed up car on a sunny day....


a Coleman Petrol stove is a nice cheap way to warm water...
