On board water/shower
After reading another forum members install I decided to tweak it to my needs. Photos to follow later in the week. I did find a takeoff bumper to modify while on a pair of saw horses which gave me the kick in the pants to do this mod. I made it very simple, 8 ft of 3/8 clear reinforced tubing, a kitchen sink spray nozzle, a couple of barbed fittings w hose clamps, a small RV water pump that does 1 gal per minute with a built in pressure switch/ cut off. It really doesn't get much easier.

Check some of the Expedition Forums for some good write ups and ideas.. There's a pretty simple little heat exchanger unit that you can splice into your heater hoses that will heat the water about 30 degrees over ambient to get you a Hot Shower..
EDIT:
This is the one I was thinking of.. Only problem is it's one of those hard to get in the US, Aussie items..

For any add on water system remember to consider freeze protection.
