Brainstorming and Designing for Camper Shower

I must have a shower inside of the camper so I have been brainstorming a shower system, given the available floor space of the camper.

There is AutoCad and Solid Works which would assist in the design process but that requires honing an older skillset of mine, which I do not have time for.  Plus, its much more fun to feel the project with a primitive hands on approach.  My primitive approach allows me to feel the headroom and answer my needs about elbow room.  So, I constructed this contraption underneath my work shelter so I could feel the shower space.  I played around with strips of wood clamped to the corner post simulating the ceiling height and angles which be associated with the inside corner of the camper. 

Stress relief - I obtained some crucial measurements.  Now, I have a very good understanding of how I will go about building the shower for the camper.


Currently I'm still waiting on the arrival of panels, fiberglass, and resin...coming from the sunshine state.

  1. Like the wood on the back wall, I am considering wooden laminate flooring for the walls, light easy to get, many styles, and the local board store has it in stock. What think?

    1. Jay, i also chose wood for the backwall so that I would be able to actually fasten my door and other accessories to come, without worry. Such as a vertical bike rack. The Nida Core's softcore interior is just not conducive wall material for fastening things to, outside of using pot rivets which work excellent.

      Not sure how flooring would work, are we making reference to tongue and groove for the structure or as a topical element overlayment?
