I have built both indoor and outdoor showers for my rig (ATC Cougar on Tundra).

 

The outdoor one is very simple: Stearns 5 Gal Solar Shower hung on a hook bolted to the top of the main camper body (not to the raised roof) next to the rear door. I then take a tarp and clip one corner to one jack bracket, open the rear door to 90 degrees and clip the tarp to the top corner of the door, and then clip the other tarp corner to the other jack bracket. It makes a triangle shaped shower enclosure at the rear door. I stake down the two lower corners of the tarp, and I use a silicone pad to stand on found here... https://www.amazon.c...ct_details&th=1. The clips are from Home Depot...

It all fits stowed away in the propane hatch. No need to get more elaborate than this simple outdoor shower.

My indoor shower enclosure is more elaborate and was inspired by what others have done. I use this when it is cold and windy outside. I got a 30" x 30" PVC shower base from a company called "pig" that folds up for storing, and I added a drain tube. The bulkhead fitting was from here https://www.amazon.c...B0852JT2S2?th=1 and I used silicon sealant instead of the useless silicon washers that came with it (heat up a socket with a 1/2" O.D. to create a perfect hole). I had a 3/8" plastic elbow for the drain through a hole I drilled in the floor...

I plug the hole in the floor (with a part I had laying around) when not using the shower...

I hang the shower curtain from the ceiling with Command clips, actually two curtains required to make it all the way around..

for hot water I use this to heat 2 liters or more water on the stove... https://www.amazon.c...00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and I fill this to spray water on myself... https://www.amazon.c...product_details and I have a collapsible PVC bucket to keep water available in the shower. Works great.

That's it.  The tricky part is adding the hole for a drain tube.  I heated up a socket with 1/2" OD and burned the initial hole, then very carefully cut the inner fabric with a razor knife. Then I installed the little bulkhead fitting.  That fitting by the way is barbed on both ends and I cut the barb off for the end that faces inside the shower pan for better drainage.

 

If you already have a stove top like I do, then all you need to do is heat water, which is quick and easy.  One of those hand held 12v shower head with pump would deliver a real shower from a pot of water (or from the sink), but I just use a 2 liter water bottle with that "Simple Shower" thing attached. It conserves water better.
