One thing my van doesn't have and doesn't really have the room for is a shower, so I was searching around for outdoor options.  I already have a MSR Dromedary water bag that doubles as a water carrier and a solar shower.  The solar shower feature works okay; the water is generally luke warm.

I came across people building a solar shower out a length of PVC pipe (diameters seem to vary) that is mounted to a roof rack.  A commercially available (and expensive) option is called the Road Shower:

I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this idea and how well did it work?  It's definitely something that would take a while to heat and only be useful during non-freezing months but liked the simplicity.

Thanks!

BigT did this on his Ford Connect. https://vanlivingforum.com/Thread-My-2010-Ford-Transit-Connect-conversion    it's on the second page.
