 Very niceJul 20, 2010
Easy setup (one person 10 minutes), sturdy, roomy. What more could one ask for in a camp shower? Although I used it exclusively for a shower, it would also work well as a changing cabana, a porta potty, or even a temporary shelter for stuff during a rain. Very glad I made this purchase.
Fantastic Camp ShowerJul 06, 2010
This was one of the best purchases of the camping season. Put up before trip,
no problems at campsite. The unit doubled as a toilet enclosure at night with
portable toilet. Big hit with the ladies...Room and lots of water very sturdy.
Of the 3 shower enclosures we have used..THIS IS THE BEST
Customer service very helpful and prompt
 Not bad for the moneyJun 14, 2010
I let this item sit in my cart for over a month before I decided to pull the trigger and get it. I was concerned about the reviews saying it was flimsy and easy to break. My review is based on a practice setup in my backyard, and also how it performed when I actually used it while camping.
Initial setup is pretty easy. If you have any experience setting up tents, this is a piece of cake. Put together the top portion first and then simply attach the leg and stand it up. The shelter material goes on the inside of the frame via clips (so don't try to stretch it over the outside) while the optional rain cover goes over the top and secures to the outside of the legs as well as ground stakes (optional). Based on other reviews, I decided to use the rain cover to increase stability of the unit.
Assembly is easiest with two people; you need someone on the opposite side of the unit to position the legs to make it even. On uneven ground, you can compensate somewhat by using the stakes and securing the rain cover to them, but your success will be based on how windy it is and how full your shower bladder is, which brings me to my next point, the bladder.
Filled to capacity, the shower bladder weighs 40 lbs. Keep in mind you have to lift the bladder above your head to hang it. I brought a small stool with me for this very purpose. When I did my practice setup, the weight of the bladder immediately began pulling the shelter to one side. Even when I improved on the level, I didn't feel safe standing underneath the full bladder. I don't like the attaching hooks either; the very top of the metal/composite structure is solid enough to hold the bladder directly, yet there is a hook underneath it that attaches to the outside of the canopy, which in turn has another hook on its inside (secured by stitching) that attaches to the bladder. The weakest link is the one most subject to wear and tear; in this case, the stitching. I'm simply not 100% confident it will stand up under full weight, so I used a rubber bungee cord to provide a safeguard in case it fails.
For actual use, I again used the stakes and rain cover over the top. The ground was noticeably more uneven than in my backyard, yet it seemed secure after my first attempt. I hung the shower bladder with about 3 gallons in it instead of 5 (maybe that's why). It was still standing 12+ hours later when I used it, so that was nice. You can play around with the shower floor to try to make the water flow out in a certain direction so it doesn't pool up, or just leave two corners of it unsecured and just lift it when you're done to force the standing water out. My first shower was pretty quick, mainly because there is a gap between the floor and the shower walls, allowing spiders and other intimidating things to crawl in. If it's hot outside, chances are it's going to be even hotter in the shower. My second shower at the end of the next day had water that was easily over 120 degrees (left the bag hanging in there all day). Keep in mind this is with the rain cover on, so I'm sure that contributed.
As far as little accessories and whatnot...the towel hangers are nice, but they are on the outside. The inside is so roomy, you could easily have them inside. If you're changing, there's nowhere to put anything except the floor (luckily I kept the stool in there). I would like to see the floor attach to the length of the walls via some kind of mesh material with velcro or a zipper to keep critters out.
Overall I'm happy with this purchase. Nothing broke or collapsed on me. I don't think I'll currently use this more than a few times a year. If my use increases, I would consider replacing the shower bladder with just a 5 gallon bucket and a pump/shower wand to take the pressure off the stitching and preserve its working life.
Very satisfiedJun 12, 2010
The camp shower/shelter is exactly as described. Excellent quality construction for the cost. We use ours as an outhouse at our campsite. We have a septic system onsite and water. I built a platform inside and installed a real toilet that flushes. Very convenient and saves wear and tear on the inside of the travel trailer.
Slight problems with quality control but a great shower tent!May 20, 2010
I set-up this tent in our living room before our trip to practice with it. I was thrilled with the tent until I got to the final step of installing the shower caddy and realized that they had sewn one of the 3 caddy "holders" on the outside of the tent instead of the inside. I called Amazon and they arranged for UPS to pick up the tent and I ordered a replacement. The second tent came just in time for our trip but unfortunately had a slight quality problem in that some of the elastic around one of the windows was mis-sewn and sticking out of the fabric instead of being encased by it. We were leaving the next day so I just decided to keep the tent with the minor flaw. The tent worked great and felt quite sturdy. The shower caddy is quite large and held all our shampoo, shower gel, and washcloths with loads of room to spare. If not for the flaws I would have given the tent 5 stars. I should also point out that the Amazon phone rep was great and very professional.
