Nah... that's the blow over in the wind one. The über shower is $129.

Hi,
Tonight Cabelas has it on sale for 50 bones!!! Go to www.cabelas.com
and search for "Porta-Privy".
Assuming it's the same one, we have this one. Whenever we've used it,
it served us well. We use it with the plastic-bag-type solar water
heaters. We have heavy-duty struts on our back hatch, so we can fling
the bag-o-hot-water up there and run the pipe down into the shower
enclosure. If we can't put up the shower enclosure close to the bach
hatch, we find someplace with a handy, sturdy tree limb for hanging
the bag-o-hot-water.
We use it only occasionally (San Diego County campgrounds spoil us by
offering showers). And we recently ran into our first glitch ...
Joshua Tree National Monument prohibits letting your shower water run
onto the ground. S got around that rather easily by catching his
shower water in one of our big plastic storage/tote boxes. But I felt
like was going to trip on the sides of the tote box and fall down. So
I have resolved to buy a child's swimming pool to put on the bottom
when we next have to capture our shower water.
This shower enclosure comes with a tarp-material bottom, but it's not
intended to capture the shower water.
