摘要： A portable shower is collapsible so that it takes up a relatively small amount of space when not in use. The portable shower has a top member, a bottom member, a shower curtain, a supply water tank, and a disposal water tank. Pumps are provided for the supply water tank and the disposal water tank, which are powered by vehicle power connected via a cigarette lighter adapter in order to heat the water and to run the pumps for the portable shower. In the collapsed condition, the top member and the bottom member of the portable shower are fitted together to enclose the supply water tank, the shower curtain, and the disposal water tank. The top member and the bottom member are releasably secured together by latches in the closed condition. In an open condition, the top member and the bottom member are pulled apart, and supported from above. Alternately, at least one support rod is placed between the bottom member and the top member, in the open position. The supply water tank is heated by the sun, or provided with water and heated using power from the vehicle via the cigarette lighter adapter. The water is pumped from the supply water tank to the top member, and used water (gray water) is collected by the bottom member. The used water is then pumped to the disposal water tank, for later disposal at a remote gray water disposal location.
