  • EASY DIY Portable SHOWER & TOILET For Camping Off the Grid
    In this video, I’m showing you our super easy and super cheap DIY portable shower & toilet for camping off the grid with no water hookups or amenities. The shower is pressurized to make showering quick and easy. The camping shower and toilet are super easy to build and very durable and efficient. They are perfect for SUV camping, car camping, van life, or any type of camping or activity where you don’t have an option to use a regular shower or toilet. I share our camping pop-up tent / enclosure that we will use for privacy while using our portable shower and toilet. Minimal tools are required.

    I know that this is an older video but wanted to comment just the same. We have been doing almost exactly the same as you show here. I have a suggestion on the shower. Take a piece of painter's tape and run it vertically from top to bottom. Now paint the entire bottle black. Remove the tape. The tape was to leave a portion unpainted to gauge how much water remains. Now set a full bottle out in the sun. The sun will warm it up for you. If it gets too hot just add cool water. Now you have free heated water and a way to see how much remains. Good video...

    One tip for the shower sprayer and that is to paint it black and leave it out in the sun to heat. The black color allows it to absorb the heat and you end up with a nice hot shower without having to add hot water. They can get pretty hot, so I would check the temp before showering.

  • @TheLimbReaper
    @TheLimbReaper 2 года назад +145

    Just a small tip. If using the kitchen type trash bags with the luggable loo; the bags are large enough to cover the seat. So instead of snapping the seat over the bag, simply snap the lid on then install the liner bag and hang the top over the seat. This prevents possible tearing of the bag on the rim by the snap and also the seat is kept clean since the bag is always over it. You can always use 2 bags - one snapped under the lid then one over the seat.

      @@i2sky532 We're talking "kitchen type" 13 gallon "tall bags". If you are adult-sized there shouldn't be much "slipping around". If the bag is too loose you can always pull the drawstring tie (if available) or tie a knot in the top of the bag around the seat rim. Seriously, this is basically to make life easier by not having to fiddle with snapping the seat onto a bag that is inside a bucket plus keep other people's messes to themselves as seat protection.

    I converted my Ford Explorer into an RV and just completed an 8100 mile trip to Arizona. The tent like the one shown works great. The weed sprayer not so much. 2 gallons of water takes a long time to warm up in the sun. Even when the sprayer painted flat black. The hose is also too short to set the sprayer on the ground and wash your hair. I found a medium size laundry detergent bottle and painted it flat black. I pulled the spout out of the opening and drilled five 1/4" holes in the top of the cap. It warms up in a couple of hours and is small and light enough to hold above my head while holding enough water to take a complete shower. A small cheap tarp for a floor helps too. If you can; dig a small depression in the ground under the tarp. It will hold the water that you showered with and can be used to wash your legs and feet. Every drop counts in the desert. The bucket with the toilet seat is great also. All of the necessary items can be stored in the bucket. Remember to put a fresh bag in as soon as you finish! You might be in a hurry the next time and you want to be prepared! I recommend buying baby wipes [non alcohol] at Walmart for completing the "paper work",' when a shower isn't possible right away. The pop up tents have a tendency to blow over in strong winds which can make showering impossible. They do pop right back up when the wind stops and can be quite entertaining to watch.
    Great video! Happy and safe travels...

    • @JeanieMarie

      Thank you so much for your feedback on this!! Great tips!! And yes, if the water is too cold to use for a shower we normally boil a kettle of water to mix in with it so it warms up. And yes, you definitely need to strap the pop-up tents down. We had some major winds come through one night in the mountains, and I was so glad we tied it to our jeep as an extra tie-down because we would have completely lost it if we didn't. Thank you again for the info and tips! Safe travels to you as well.

    Here’s how I use the bucket-loo…. 5 gal, Costco cheap no-drawstring 10gal (I think) bags. I attach the seat onto the bucket, in the bucket I place - roll of T.P., roll of bags or at least a bunch of bags, packet of moist baby-wipes, kitty litter if you want. That’s everything all packed ready to travel. When the urge becomes overwhelming…. I open lid (DO NOT REMOVE), remove T.P., wipes, bags… now I place a clean bag over the entire seat, push to bottom of bucket, leave plenty over the seat and down the outside of the bucket. I sit on the bag which covers the seat, it actually makes a sanitary ass gasket, do my duty 💩, baby wipe…. While camping it nice to freshen up, remove 💩bag and tie a knot (dbl bag if needed), place everything back in bucket. It’s now clean and ready for the next use. Seat and lid are never removed. Use kitty litter if desired. I’m 75y.o. and an expert of 💩 !

    We bought one of those metal garden sprayers. It even came with a pressure guage of its own. We fill 3/4 full with warm water then heat it up on our propane stove. The pressure guage will give you an indication if it's getting too pressurized (due to the steam buildup inside).
    We have a pop-up shelter like you -- no floor though so we have a rubber matt with drain holes. Turn the sprayer to fine, coarse, whatever you want. On mist setting the inside of the shelter becomes this awesome steam sauna. My wife loves it.

  • @OverlandOne

    The nice thing about the small sprayer nozzles that come with those garden sprayers is that they limit the amount of water so your shower will last longer. I think that garden hose sprayer will empty your sprayer pretty quickly. Also, people have probably commented on this as this is an older video but, if you spray paint your sprayer flat black, fill it and set it in the sun for a few hours you get a nice hot shower for free using solar. I like that toilet set-up. Safe travels.

    Thanks for taking the time to make the video. The shower looks really cool. Don't know why you'd need to put hot water in it though, just leave the water reservoir in the sun. But at night, maybe heat it depending on the time of year.

    Put the shower sprayer on top of the toilet so you can spray your head and shoulders without bending. The hose doesn't appear to be long enough for tall people. You would also have a bit more room on the floor to move around in the privacy tent. Just remember to put a plastic sheet over the toilet so the paper stays dry.

    Great presentation! I have the pop tent as well. I use a portable toilet and sink combo (Vitahome-Amazon) and chargeable shower head (Ivation-Amazon) in a 5-gallon bucket. I also have that sprayer which I bought for the lawn but this is a great use for it and I will try it. Thanks for your ideas.

    We live in the very rural Western foothills of Maine (ON grid for most things most of the time), but we have a well and a septic tank rather than 'city' water and sewer out here a mile in the woods. Before we had the Solar Panels and Battery system on the house, we'd lose power frequently and before we had the deep artisian well drilled, we made due with shallow dug wells for water. During droughts and power outages, we'd have no running water, BUT we could haul water from the local lakes. It didn't take long before we got one of these sprayer setups. Ours is a 4gal and we found that 1.5 gal of water heated on the stove (propane or wood) and 2.5 gal of cold was the perfect temp for everyone in the household to take turns and be able to take a quick 'hot' shower...right in the shower we usually use when everything is running fine. It DOES work great when camping too. :)
    We didn't put a fancy nozzle on ours just the regular (shorter than yours) sprayer...but looking at your connections, I may just go get a nicer 'shower' head! Thanks for the video!

    we use the toilet, We cut out the bottom of our bucket so when camping we just dig a hole and place the bucket on top. for city this would be great.

    Been using the Luggable Loo many years camping. I tried various things in bottom of toilet including packs you throw in for deodorizing and gelling. I tried the kitty litter but wasn't the effect I was hoping for. Tried sawdust and that is good but not easy to find. I like your idea of horse pellets. Gonna try that. I have a camping potty box where I store my clean potty bucket, seat, bags, etc. I am graduating from Ozark two room instant utility tent to a better tent soon. The Ozark leg blew out in a camping storm and a hole made also. My camping friend bought a joolca brand 2 room tent. But joolca now has the triple room tent similar to Coleman's ,9x10' instant cabin tent. It has a toilet room, a shower room and an area in the tent that accesses each of those...changing area. I like the thought of that because it solves the issue of where to dry out your towels after shower which is an issue. I do not like to store it outside where it is exposed to dirty, bird poop, bugs, etc. Can change without touching clean clothes, towels toilet, etc to the toilet area. And my children can share a sleeping tent and still have a private changing area in the three room joolca...I have a boy and two girls. I love my friends two room joolca. Quality great and nice features. So I'm sure the 3 room is great. Joolca has a shower system also. But it is much more expensive and more complicated. But good for extended stay campers like me who also do dry camping. Joolca is the Cadillac of shower utility tents and shower systems.

  • @markdettrey8038
    @markdettrey8038 Год назад +2

    Plumber here. I couldn’t help but notice you threaded the hose adapters in reverse. Lol! I wonder if the video was flipped, because the only reverse threading I know of is LP gas for safety and the handle assembly nut on a toilet tank flush lever. Love your ideas!

    Paint the sprayer black, fill it with water and leave it in the sun for the day. The water should be warm enough for a quick shower.

    • @JeanieMarie

      I completely agree. AND if it's windy out you don't have the wind banging your tent around making loud noises. Plus, protection from animals is a good feeling ;)

    *NOTE The efforts made of converting a small vehicle; (like a Sedan or SUV; for Camping) is an opportunity to consider a Box shaped spacious vehicle, without additional seating; (as a van).

    Great idea. I found that you actually only need one adapter a half inch by three-quarter inch MIP. It's plastic. One side fits the sprayer and the other side plugs right into the hose no need for double connections
    The brass connections are really expensive this one was $2.85 at home Depot
