Tents with shower and toilet: varieties and tips for choosing

Hiking is a great opportunity to enjoy nature, breathe fresh air, relax and take a break from the daily bustle of the city. It would seem that there is everything for comfort - food, a fire, a sleeping place. However, the inability to fully wash and visit the toilet significantly overshadows outdoor recreation. To prevent this from happening, we suggest stocking up in advance with a special tent with a shower and toilet.

The design is an awning made of a polymer or iron light-alloy frame with stretched fabric upholstery. The shape of the device is vertical, oblong, slightly tapering upwards. Usually the height of the product is slightly higher than human height, about 2.2 meters, the width of the tent is a little more than a meter. Different options may have 1 or 2 doors. Outside, a hinged door is designed, which is fastened with a zipper from the inside.

The lining is a polyester or nylon fabric, usually dense and resistant to ultraviolet rays. That's why the use of such a tent is possible in any weather: it does not get wet, does not fade, does not shed, does not let the wind through, and is usually washed quickly and easily. Another advantage of the product is its small size and light weight, which is very important during a hiking or cycling trip.And if you need to take the device with you on a road trip, then it will not take up much space in the trunk.

The design itself usually provides a holder for a shower head, pockets for detergents and shampoos, and windows for high-quality ventilation. The advantage of such a unique tent is the ability to quickly disassemble and assemble it. Usually only one person can handle this.

The device is relevant not only for tourists, but also for summer residents. Many garden plots cannot boast of having a latrine, and after hard work everyone wants to relax under running water. Therefore, a tent with a shower and toilet can also be used as a country attribute. You will need a building in the case of a summer picnic. Perhaps the summer resident has not yet managed to build a bathhouse and a house, and then a mobile shower and toilet will be a great help in organizing a trip to nature with friends or family.

The purpose of such a tent is not just to provide comfortable conditions for meeting needs in nature, but also to maintain health. For example, many dangers await tourists in the forest, including ticks, which you can get rid of by taking a shower after a forest walk, if they have not yet had time to stick. Without a shower in nature, it is sometimes even difficult to fully and efficiently wash your hands, but in the forest a lot of microbes and parasites that are dangerous to health accumulate on the skin. Wet wipes also cannot provide effective protection. Therefore, a tent with a shower will help maintain health and hygiene in the wild.

The classic assembly of such a camping structure is quite simple.

• We dig a cesspool. Remember that a tent is usually no more than 1.5 m wide, so we try to dig deeper rather than wide.
• From above we mount the flooring with a slot for waste in the center.
• We pitch the tent. If it is assembled in semi-automatic mode, then just pull the cord. Then the product will open. The mechanism resembles the opening of an umbrella.
• We arrange the pegs, tie stretch marks to them.

Special designs for the shower and toilet are offered in various variations. For example, a self-folding tent-automat does not need a long and concentrated assembly, as described above.
