Shower Trailer 2026

Given the poor state of the Gayflower and the crazy cost of replacing it, we're considering a much simpler option of building a basic shower trailer that would be extremely robust and bomb-proof: essentially something more modular and appealing. 

To build this, we'd

1. start with a simple car trailer (Big Tex and Kaufmann are two vendors who sell them new),
2. build a steel frame on top of that to support the floor (this provides room for plumbing and maybe water tanks below)
3. build a cedar or teak wood deck using off-the-shelf parts
4. build some thin but sturdy wood walls
5. install two showers and a vanity with two sinks
6. put shower pans below the wood deck (so water drains down through slits in the floor)
7. and a staircase which could have hinges to fold up inside for transit.

Some cool features we would probably add:

1. about 100 gallons of fresh and waste water in tanks underneath
2. built-in pumps and hoses to replace gayflower water movement functionality
3. timers with turtle pendant activation
4. benches
5. led strip lighting 
6. mirrors
7. (?) propane water heater
