Ran across this on ebay and wondered if anyone has experience with&nbsp;one or similar setup. <BR><BR><BR><A href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-SHOWER-...pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item43b7110d29" rel=nofollow>http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-SHOWER-...pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item43b7110d29</A>

I have one like this, except it has a 12 volt connection to plug in rather than the clamps.&nbsp; It also came with a battery pack which holds eight D cell batteries.&nbsp; The original cost was $30 US.&nbsp; I have used mine in an outdoor privacy enclosure with a portable power pack and like it very much.&nbsp; I put a stocking over the pick up for a filter and pump gray water into a container for disposal.&nbsp; An empty cat litter jug is very handy for this.<br><br>Vickie

Thanks for your input Sparky and Vickie. I like the price and simplicity of this shower but had concerns about its durability. I&nbsp;would rather it had the&nbsp;cigarette lighter plug rather than the clamps. If I get one I may wire in a&nbsp;lighter plug and leave the clamps in place should I want to use the shower away from my truck and have another 12v power source available. I much prefer taking a shower and thoroughly washing my hair, than taking a spit bath or using wet wipes. Looks like it would be easy to use with a 5 gallon bucket of warm water.
