Good on ya, Uncle.
It stirred me into doing something as
well. I don't have a Coleman but rather an el cheapo shower pump with suction stick-on nozzle holder that does nbot always work
I dug up an old camera tripod from the cupboard and will modify that for a shower holder.
Cheers

Rays tent city has shower extension poles, they are on a triangle plate which you just peg into the ground. As you extend the pole it goes out on an angle, I have the old elcheapo one to, but the hand piece fits into a holder at the top of the pole. A magic bit of gear and only about $15

So I actually did what I said I would do this morning.
I took an offcut of 1mm galvanised iron, drilled two holes either end, bent one end at 90 degrees, attached the shower nozzle holder to one end and attached the whole device to the tripod. I can even adjust the height via the tripod for big people or those who are short at one end. The attachment unscrewed with ease and I lashed it to the tripod and found a place inside the trailer for it. Cost $0.

Hi Crazy Dog
The Shower System is made in
Cairns I believe.But it is free standing on a tri pod a bucket with a small pump it is available in some Camping shops.
I just remodel it so it was a permit fixture I also have a hot tap fitting connection.& a Larger Pump inside the
water tank @ rear. I bought it about 2 Years Ago ,its like a shower at
Home.Gee it was great in the Simpson Last year.The boys lined up each night,They had to supply & there own Water LOL Cost was About $350 Plus my cost to change.
