Last month I
installed an R&M hot water shower on my truck. This article is
a review of a companion product designed to work with this
shower. 
The TownSend Deluxe bathroom is a
set of useful bathroom accessories that takes care of many of the
privacy issuers related to camping out on the trails. The main part
of the Bathroom is it's tent like shell. It sets up in about 5
minutes, just like a small tent but is tall enough for a 6 foot
plus person to comfortably stand up inside! 
This Shower "tent" has a few special features inside that help
with shower duties. On the top there is a loop that allows you to
attach an incoming water hose to keep your hands free to
wash.  To hold soap
and other shower accessories there is a handy pouch on one side.
There are two closable windows built in, these can be left open or
for more privacy closed and secured. 
The deluxe bathroom also comes with a unique and simple
toilet. It's basically a bucket with a seat on it. This bucket is a
little taller than normal making for a comfortable sitting
height. I number of large bio-degradable bags are included. These
bags fit under the seat, in the bucket. After using the toilet you
remove bag and tie it up in a knot. The bag can then be stored or
buried. 
The shower also comes with a tiny
water pump of it's own attached to a hose. This can be used with
other hot water systems or just a bag of water left out in the sun
for warmth. A second slightly smaller bucket is also included and
this can be used to collect and hold water. 
The entire set including shower tent, two
buckets, bags, seat, pump, and hose easily fit into a single bag
for easy storage. I also found there to be some extra room in the
bag for the hot water shower hoses and other
accessories.
I
recently tested the shower on a cold December day out on the famous
Rubicon trail. I found the tent easy to setup and use. The set does
not include a ground covering but I found standing on the ground
not to uncomfortable. A tarp can be used under the shower to
prevent having to walk on the ground. The shower did a good job of
keeping wind off and held the hose and soap making it easier to
take a shower. |
