    I am using a Cabela’s outdoor shower tent along with a Solar Sun shower bag. The bag when full puts too much stress on the tent to safely and confidently use. Also, it is too low. I just end up showering on my knees. I am going to make some type of arm that attaches to the front roof rack that will allow for the shower bag to hang higher and then dangle the arm through the roof of the shower tent so that the end of the nozzle is above my head.

    Also, the watersport tank that comes with the TM is good, not great. It loses pressure too easily, but I am planning on buying a small air compressor to be able to repressurize it. I am mounting it on the left bumper so that is easy access to wash hands when cooking, wash pots/pans/coffee filters.

    Also, I think I am going to switch out the hitch to a pintle type hitch for better off-road use. I think Taxa should do this for the off road version, it needs to be more than just AT Tires

    I've been considering one of the swivel hitches that flexes all directions. Cool pictures I'm glad to see you out enjoying it. I'll get out like that someday but happy with campgrounds until we're ready

    It's pricey but works like a champ. I'm really pleased with it on my trailer.

    It's on my list but I've got other things before it. Between this camper and having to build another truck good lord that's a lot to do. Next things for me with the camper are a dual battery setup and a solar panel I believe

    You still going on Saturday? The ARB awnings are great but the coverage offered by the Hasika is much more and half the price. It really served us well in all the rain this past weekend.

    Welcome! It's been a fun little journey so far and I'm still just getting started. More immediate plans will be a dual battery setup, solar panel to charge them, shower source, a fridge, and a bathroom/ shower combo before we can get away from the campgrounds. we're still having fun at the camp grounds and meeting some nice folks from all over

    I'm still mulling over. Road Trip had one at the Red Wing Music Festival last month and I really liked it. However, I want to move my RTT from my truck bed to the camper. Taxa sent me some pics of how that would work, but I'm not sure I love the setup.

    How do you like the galley on the Tiger Moth?

    Honestly, I'm not going to get the girlfriend excited about any trailer that doesn't include a bathroom. She's not enamored with the Luggable Loo :rofl:

    I guess my wife is a keeper then. She has not problem with the chemical toilet inside the cabela's portable shower, and no problem with the solar shower. She didn't even complain when we weren't able to charge it and the water was cold
