Shower tent durability and efficiency

The shower tent should be made of sturdy, waterproof material and come fitted with a weather shield. The poles should be strong and preferably be made of fiberglass so they are lightweight too. The fabric must be heavy duty so the tent does not fly away.

How to determine efficiency and durability?

It should be easy to setup and fold again. Waterproof interior mesh pockets with a removable floor are recommended. You can also buy a shower tent with a drain to make the unloading process easier.

You also should be able to get at least 50-60 uses out of your tent before you notice any signs of real damage. Otherwise, it would be a poor investment.

Shower tent capacity and design

The design should be such that the tent is light and hassle-free with no rods and ropes poking from anywhere. There should be enough room to move your arms around.

Shower tent types

The type of tent depends on how it is powered and what materials it is made from. You can choose from:

Solar shower tent

This is the most basic choice. It uses sunlight to warm up water which is put away in a repository. However, you would have to do without hot water if the forecast is cloudy.

Propane shower tent

Propane camp showers go through loops and burners to warm the water before it can be used. This is a reliable, continuous source of warm water.

However, these showers are cumbersome to carry and you will need a spare propane tank at all times. The requirement for propane also adds to the expense.

Vehicle-fitted shower tent

Vehicle-fitted outdoor showers are structured with a warm trade and water siphon to provide pressurized high-temperature water through the showerhead. They are fueled by the vehicle’s battery which draws water from the engine.

Cost point of view

Camping showers are priced from $50-$1000. Solar-powered camp showers are more affordable compared to the exorbitant prices of their propane and vehicle-fitted counterparts.

In the end, your interest in camping, your utilization, and the weather you will subject yourself to is key for deciding which shower tent is best for you. If you are a regular camper you will need higher quality products that are durable. However, if camping is a hobby, short-term investment in mediocre-quality products will do.

Conclusion

Outdoor shower tent is a better option in contrast to campground showers or water sources. The above manual will make it simpler to purchase a versatile camp shower according to your requirements from the wide assortment available.
