Blue Tarp sounds like a good idea.. I carry one in the truck most of the
time..

AHHHH.  A way to finance my RMIHR trip!  What do you want for royalties,

There ya go.  Another attachment for this toilet seat.. change out the
seat for a wider flat section of expanded steel (better wear flip-flops)
with "sides" (don't want ya slipping out the side).. lower the rack, but
use the same curtain setup... and I'm on my way to port-a-shower.

Now, for hot water.. fill the bumper and pressurize from the air
system.. and since the bumper will be steel, I could just put my Coleman
under it... but that's too low-tech and not automated.

How about installing a "heater element" (like a big heater core) inside
the bumper, and plumbing it into the heater hoses up front.  One
quick-connect fitting for an inlet, one for an outlet.  Run water
through the bumper to pick up heat from the "core" inside it on it's way
to the shower head.

I wonder if my on-board air puts out enough CFM to keep the Bernouli
principle in effect for a shower.. fill the bumper and then use the
Bernouli effect to suck the water out and spray it.. while still sucking
motor water from a nearby water source.

This is do-able, Dan.

And if the heater-core setup isn't enough heat, I could always add a 12V
heating element inside the bumper for good measure...
