Hi The expanding pole was from eBay it just fits across from one side wall to the other its the 92 - 152 cms just twist to fit. The gadget when it comes is a portable shower head holder which uses suction to adhere, so hoping to attach to small square of Perspex and then clip onto rail.

Update and observations using the Eriba toilet/shower during the pandemic. We have spent so far eleven nights totally self reliant with the Eriba toilet, we are also washing the pots in the Eriba kitchen sink after one lengthy wait for the washroom to become vacant ( only one sink can be used at anyone time).

We are using the toilet for both functions and it is been emptied approximately every 1.5 days, this is about half a day more than usual. There are no smells left lingering in the van, we use Elsan blue/pink toilet chemicals.
We are both successfully using the shower, we put approximately 3.5 litres of boiling water in the 12litre container which makes it warm to hot. Out of a full container we can have two showers and Mrs Poptop can also wash her hair separately, this generally used about 10 litres. I have used clear sealant around where the shower tray and wall meets as a precaution, and as per other comments, in the future I will be using an extra shower rail and curtain to fully enclose the area.
Mrs Poptop likes to wash her hair more frequently, she does this by kneeling on one of those cheap kneeling garden mats just outside the Toilet door and washes her hair over the shower tray.

to be honest it has made life a lot more easy, we are no longer dependant on the cleaning times of the shower block, I asked the wardens how it was going and the biggest complaint was that folk are leaving their toilet bands on the hooks and forgetting to take them off which stops other caravaners using the Toilet block.

Lots of talk about "Happy Bowl" disposable liners in this thread but at the time we wished to purchase some, there was no stock anywhere, We presumed that they were all bought up by regular users.

So, we invested in a box of them this week from a well known Internet Camping outlet. They arrived this morning and that source has seen fit to flatten the box and seal it with cling film. Not only do we assume it saves on postal cost but it's probably the best way to store them and keep them dry.

However, what a rip off. They can only be descibed as very thin large pixie hats and at 11 quid for 50 we won't be investing in more, not that we intend using them anyway but being an ex boy scout we have to be prepared.dib dib dib.
