Field shower!
I rigged up a 'beach shower' for the weekend, total cost around £30

I got a camping shower from e of the Bay, then bought a black container (which I think is for caravan dirty water??)

Filled the container up in the morning, left it in the sun all day and after a day in the sea I can't tell you how nice it was to wash off all the salt and freshen up Cool
The container was more than enough for 2 showers.

The shower plugs straight in the 12v out socket in the cubby box, it has an on/off switch and adjustable flow rate on the shower head itself.

Cheap enough and a cheap thrill for the lady next to us...Damn towels not staying where they should Laughing

Used one for a few years. Great bit of kit, cheap as chips so when it broke I just bought another.

We use one similar to Rich.

Plonk it on the roof and have reasonable flow rate. If not had time to use solar warming 2/3-3/4 fill with cold water then top up with boiling water and it is good to go.

Same Thumbs Up Rig one up to the boom Very Happy

When we were kids my father had one which you pumped the water up with your foot and had to hold the shower head with one hand Sad not easy washing yourself with one hand whilst balancing on one foot Laughing
