Sun showers -- On the roof?View MessagesViewing posts 1 to 8 of 8 messages posted.
I have an idea... “Now.. don't laugh. Well, it is kinda laughable, but in a good way... and I think it should work. Say you need to travel somewhere, put in a long day in your SUV... which has a roof rack. (do you see where I'm gong??) I figure why not put the sun/solar shower up there, in netting (made for the purpose) to keep it in place, and secure the netting down... and let the baby warm up all day during the drive?? Discuss.... :-)” 11:09:23 AM 6/12/06 “Sounds like a plan. Heck, i'd put every Platypus-type bladder you have up there, and wrap them up in black garbage bags. You might loose some of the heat gained from the wind blowing by as you go down the road, but I'd imagine it would still be more than warm enough for a comfy shower. Can't hurt to try it.” 11:22:12 AM 6/12/06 “Add a little PVC Pipe....and a shower head, swing the pipe out to the side of the vehicle to shower....maybe even add a pull chain valve to release the water....” 11:27:59 AM 6/12/06 “I think I smell (at least I did till I sun showered)... A PATENT!! ;-)” 11:30:14 AM 6/12/06 “do it! we used to do that when sailing...secure the sun shower on the deck somewhere and when we finally anchored, we'd have a hot shower.” 11:32:01 AM 6/12/06 “Say you need to travel somewhere, put in a long day in your SUV... which has a roof rack. (do you see where I'm gong??) Why not just tap into the 180 deg heater core?” 8:16:49 PM 6/12/06 KISS “Keep it Simple Silly....” 6:08:29 AM 6/13/06 “If lizs wants to take sun showers on her roof, fine by me.” 5:58:35 PM 6/13/06
