First, Will, what a neat and cozy looking van you have!

I've seen some in-van shower set-ups before but yours is both the simplest and most functional looking. I have a couple of questions.

1. How large is the catch basin tub? It looks proportionally to be a perfect size so as to catch all the water but not be too big for the space. Is it something available at one of the usual stores?

2. On your sprayer, It looks like you took off the want entirely and then somehow hooked the nozzle directly to the hose? Is there a trick to that? Most sprayer showers I've seen have the original hose taken off and a shower or sink hose and head attached. I've purchased a sprayer but have not modified the hose/nozzle at all yet.

Thanks for posting and more details.

the basin is something i got from TSC tractor supply company, its a perfect since as it gives you room n is heavy duty. wont crack when standing in it, the sprayer is from lowes ,it comes with 3 diff tips, i use the high volume red tip. the tip will screw directly onto the wand on this unit.

Lowe's also has a cement mixing tub that is perfect for this. It's usually along the wall, past the lumber.

the tub I m panning in is a concrete mixing tub from the hardware store(H.D.).  it holds a little more than 10 gallons.

these are very durable.  large enough to catch all the water from a shower.  highdesertranger

As I recall, the ones at Love's are just a couple of inches wider and longer, but about an inch shallower. Just going from memory.

Nice setup, I painted my sprayer with black rubberized paint to help heat the water when placed in the sun, works great.

Thank you Patrick .I am very interested in the curtains between the font cab and the back what are they and where did you get them.

lol the round up brand bottle is a good unit. as in the tips will screw directly onto the handle assembly so no modifying is necessary. jus remove the long extension.
