Are you someone who loves to go on adventures but always ends up uncomfortable because of the lack of shower facilities? Worry not, as we have the perfect solution for you – a DIY camp shower for your car or van! With the help of some basic tools and materials, you can easily build your own car-top 'solar' camp shower and stay clean wherever your adventure takes you.

At Yuan Cheng Auto Accessories Manufacturer Co. Ltd., we understand the importance of comfortable and convenient travel, which is why we bring to you this amazing hack. Our specialized range of auto accessories covers everything you need for your car or van, including car sun (snow) shades, car seat covers, car seat cushions, and steering wheel covers. But for those who love to go on road trips and camp out in the wild, this DIY camp shower is a must-have addition to your car accessories.

Here's what you'll need to build your own car-top 'solar' camp shower:

1. PVC pipes: You'll need four 1-inch PVC pipes, two 90-degree elbows, and two T-connectors to build the frame of your camp shower.

2. Showerhead: You can either buy a solar showerhead or make one yourself using a 5-gallon water jug, a rubber hose, and a shower nozzle.

3. Solar shower bag: This will hold the water that you'll be using for your shower. You can buy a solar shower bag from any outdoor store, or make one yourself using a clear plastic bag and some tape.

4. Bungee cords: These will secure your shower bag to the frame of your camp shower.

Once you have all the materials ready, follow these steps to build your own car-top 'solar' camp shower:

Step 1: Cut the PVC pipes into the following lengths – two 1-foot sections, two 3-foot sections, and four 6-inch sections.

Step 2: Assemble the frame of your camp shower using the PVC pipes, elbows, and T-connectors. Use the 1-foot sections for the vertical legs, the 3-foot sections for the horizontal bars, and the 6-inch sections for the supports.

Step 3: Attach the solar shower bag to the frame using the bungee cords. Make sure the bag is securely fastened and won't fall off during use.

Step 4: Install the showerhead on the top of the frame. If you're using a DIY showerhead, attach the rubber hose to the water jug and connect the shower nozzle to the other end of the hose. Hang the water jug from the top bar of the frame using a bungee cord.

Step 5: Fill the solar shower bag with water and leave it in the sun for a few hours to heat up.

And voila! Your very own car-top 'solar' camp shower is ready to use. Simply climb up to the top of your car or van, turn on the showerhead, and enjoy a refreshing shower wherever your adventure takes you.
