Hi People.
Well I`m nominating myself for the "Golden Gadget Award" this week.
I`m proud to announce that I haven`t mowed the lawn, washed the car, cleaned the house or any of the other much needed chores around the house. instead, I`ve been creating my 3 in 1 exterior gadget known as the High Definition Shower Receiver.
When I bought my van it came with a jerry can bracket on the front draw bar.
By buying and extendable tent pole, I simply drilled a few holes and inserted a few bolts with wing nuts securely to my jerry can holder. After buying a good tv aerial, I realised that i could easily attach and extend my aerial above the roof height of my van. The outcome, very good tv reception and a quick and easy 1 minute aerial setup.

Note:- The aerial actually extends another 5 feet higher.
The next step was to get a 12 volt shower. I bought one from BCF yesterday {on special for $19.95}

, I already had the jerry can, but they were also for sale at BCF {20 Litre was $30}{10 Litre was $20} {5Litre was $15}. I have the 20 Litre version which I love because I can have a really long shower.

By fitting a second 12 volt plug under the front boot of the car I could easily plug the shower in at the front, drop the shower bilge into the jerry can without having to take it off and carry it anywhere, and then pop my shower tent up beside my draw bar.

The final outcome was a success. At the end of the day I was able to have a warm shower {because the jerry can was in the sun all day} at the front of my house in my little shower tent. The neighbours probably think I`m a weirdo, and my wife finds me very embarrassing but I`m happy with the outcome.
I love the idea of being able to have a nice warm shower when we`re out in the middle of nowhere without power and water.
What do you guys think of my new invention?
Is it wrong to spend all day tinkering with the expanda???
Kind Regards
Coastrunner.
