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

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

Some cool features we would probably add:

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