We have the Wally World model also. Used it for a couple of seasons. Easy to set up (yes, be sure to stake it down!) and will actually fold up and go back in it's bag! We use ours as a changing station, bathroom, and shower. Really nice when the kids come up from the lake and want to change cloths dripping wet................not in MY camper your not!! Go to the shower tent!!! I think you will like it for the money spent.

That's exactly our plan for it.  We've got a 4 or 5 dayer planned up at Lake Tahoe in about 3 weeks.  Our friends are coming along, and bring their daughter, who's our daughter's best friend (both 8).  Figured it would make a great place for them to change, get cleaned up, etc. and have a potti for them to use at night, or if they didn't want to run down to the restrooms....where ever those wind up being.  

I showed my daughter, and she loves it.  Says it looks like a castle.  Gotta love the imagination of kidlets!

My little guy (he's going to be 5) calls it "The PeePee Hut" so I took a Sharpie pen and drew a cresent moon on the door and the words "P.P.Hut"

I like the name that's already on ours from the factory in the lower corner, next to the door (See the pic above).

I call it, "Hillary's Whitehouse"  :D .

We purchased one of these walmart shelters for our trip last week and it works great. We only used it for a porta potty shelter and it matched the colors on our 1983 Starcraft PUP. What more can you ask for?

We purchased this exact shelter for our trip last week. It worked as designed with no flaws and it matched the colors on our 1983 Starcraft PUP. We only used it for the porta potty though.

Another option I saw in the JC Witney catalog was a huge shower / porta potty tent. see below link:

Cabelas has a similar one for about $50

I had one and gave it to the Mid-Atlantic rally's silent auction a few years back...it was great put up (if you stood out of the way whilst it unfurled itself, otherwise could be considered a weapon), but I could not get the danged thing to fold/roll back up. If you have strong wrists and fingers it is OK.
I got mine through SProtsman's Guide.

Quote from: A2SuperCrewI really like the idea of these portable shower / potty shelters.  What about the grey water?  All the campgrounds I've stayed in require capturing grey water.  Personally, I don't see a problem showering with organic soap, and letting it drain into the ground, but I'm not sure how park rangers feel about that.   :confused:


Check out this post and see the ideas for capturing the grey water

Used the shelter this weekend for the first time.  (That's our DD standing on the left) Super easy set up and take down, very nice quality, both in how it's built, how it goes together, and how it functions.  Takes maybe a minute or 3 to set up, and about the same to take down and put back in the stuff sack.

Highly recommend it!

From the link posted, http://www.walmart.com/catalog/allReviews.do?product_id=4726169, I tried to order one of these last month and Wal-Mart was out of stock.  Today I tried again and it looks like they are back in stock.  Ordered one to be delivered to my local Wal-Mart to avoid shipping costs.  Total cost was $31.54.
