Maximising Comfort: How to Set Up Your 4WD Awning Shower

At Xtend Outdoors, we know firsthand that camping is a fantastic way to connect with nature, but roughing it doesn't have to mean sacrificing comfort. Shower tents or an awning shower can make all the difference. Here's how to make your next outdoor adventure truly enjoyable:

Key to Camping Comfort: The 4WD Awning Shower

One crucial element for a comfortable campsite is a functional 4WD awning shower. This innovative setup transforms your awning into a private shower stall. Imagine enjoying a refreshing rinse after a long day exploring, without the hassle of public facilities or a basic bucket shower.

With a proper awning shower, you can:

• Maintain hygiene: Stay clean and refreshed throughout your trip.
• Enjoy privacy: Shower in a designated space for added comfort.
• Create a makeshift changing room: Use the space to get dressed or change out of wet clothes.

By incorporating a 4WD awning shower, you'll elevate your camping experience, making it a truly relaxing and enjoyable escape.

The Benefits of a 4WD Awning Shower or Shower Tent

Traditional camping can be a fantastic adventure, but let's face it, showering isn't always the most glamorous experience. That's where the 4WD awning shower swoops in, offering a game-changer for comfort-conscious campers.

Convenience

Say goodbye to the cumbersome task of carrying water buckets. A 4WD awning shower attaches directly to your 4WD roof racks, and easily extends out to create a sheltered and private enclosed space. No need to search for hidden spots or struggle with unreliable tarps anymore, as you'll have enough room and a proper bathroom space wherever you go.

Privacy

Unlike communal campground facilities, a 4WD shower awning offers a designated space for a private shower experience. The enclosed space, which doubles as a changing room, is part of a slide-out privacy roof. This setup allows you to ditch the awkward public bathroom dash in wet clothes, as the shower tent includes everything you need for a comfortable and private shower experience.

A Slice of Luxury

Pair your awning shower with a portable shower and water heater, and elevate your outdoor experience with the luxury of a warm shower, even in remote locations. Transform your campsite from basic to luxurious by upgrading from an average shower tent to a fully private bathroom tent. A clean and warm shower makes a world of difference to your overall camping comfort and enjoyment.

Choosing the Right Awning Shower For You

A 4WD awning shower can significantly improve your camping comfort, but choosing the right one depends on your specific needs. Here are some key factors to consider:

Find a Shower Awning or Shower Tent That's Compatible

First things first, ensure you have space on your roof rack to mount the awning shower tent. Measure your roof rack’s length and choose a shower that fits within those dimensions. Most awning showers come in a standard size so ensure to check the fit on your vehicle.

Consider the dimensions of the shower tent when set up and ensure it is suitable for you and the family.

Shower Comfortably: Pre-Trip Awning Shower Essentials

A 4WD awning shower is fantastic, but a smooth showering experience requires some pre-trip planning and preparation.

Here's what you need to ensure a hassle-free setup and a refreshing rinse on your camping adventure:

Sort Out Your Water Source

Choose your water supply method. Do you have a portable shower and will you be utilising a portable water source or will you connect to a campground faucet? This decision will determine the hoses and adapters needed.

Ensure your water tank is filled before reaching your campsite. If using campground water, locate the spigot and confirm the appropriate connection type for easy access to your shower tent or huge bathroom shower setup.

Setting Up Your Shower Awning

A 4WD awning shower offers a luxurious and convenient way to stay clean while camping.

• Open the Awning: Unzip the bag casing and pull out the tent. 
• Assemble the Frame: Connect the poles to the designated points on the awning/shower roof. Ensure all poles are securely fastened and the frame is stable.
• Peg Down the Shower: Use the provided pegs to secure the base of the shower enclosure to the ground. This ensures stability and prevents windblown mishaps.
• Privacy Check: Double-check that the shower enclosure offers complete privacy. Adjust the straps if extra height is needed.
• Storage Pockets (if available): Organise your toiletries and shower accessories in any built-in storage pockets within the shower enclosure.
• Portable Shower: Set up your water source and attach your portable shower in position.
