    Really I can go on & on but ima try n simplify it as quick as I can .

    .ok Walmart I purchased the flat little storage bin with the top,a 5 gallon collapsible water jug,curtain shower n rod,homedepot got my hoses,90s,and shut off valves,drilled holed in cabinet to run my hoses thru the bottom floor for drainage and sealed it up,

    my hot water comes from the built in shower head,but the key is you have to have atleast a 6000 watt inverter to get hot water it draws alot of amperage,

    but it beats putting in a darn water heater and all dat crap,i close all my curtains, set the shower up between the cab n sleeper all my water drains down in to the storage container & that serves as the base for my tub,
    its amazing lol I can watch TV ,the football game,news while I take my time while I'm showering n nobody knows,

    and when I'm done I open the valve water drains out truck I disconnect the quick connect put everything back in the storage bin,then under the bed till next time..

    VERY VERY CONVENIENT...I ain't gotta get...no ticket ,wait n no stinking line for hours when the truck stop is packed..

    then when u do get a shower it's half Adss clean with public hair all over the darnn place..sorry I'm a germophobe n if I'm paying for a shower I want it spotless....but yeah people say what they will,but for me it works PERFECT..u don't know how many days and nights its gotten me good sleep when I been stuck at a shipper,or got to a truck stop where the wait for a shower was either too long or some small truck stops don't even have showers...

    lol very cool dude.. I did the same thing for my sink. I got a one of those plastic clothes dressers from Walmart. Cut a hole in the back of the top drawer ran connected a hose to it and sealed it, ran it through the floor of my truck. Got one of those blue 5gal water tanks from Walmart, fill it up, sit it on top of the clothes dresser and open the top drawer and open the water spout when I need to wash my hands. The water goes into the drawer and drains through the truck floor.

    For my shower, I got a 3gpm water pump, a water filter, water hoses, a showerhead, propane water heater and a lil 1lb propane tank. The water pump works off the cigarette lighter outlet. Ran the wires through a hole in the floor and leading to my cat walk where the water pump is. Soldered a switch into the line. I just gotta stand on my catwalk, put my shower curtains up, flip the water pump switch, and flip the switch for the water heater and bam :)

    When I get back to my truck I'm gonna run a second hose from the water pump to the inside of the truck to be my sink line and replace my current sink setup.
