Sir Edward:
Unfortunately I don't have plans or better photos for the shower. It was built by the coordinators for our camp. I do know it used a wooden palette for the floor, and they lined the inside of the walls with fake tile (linoleum?). If you're going to Pennsic this year, I'm sure they'd be happy to show it to you (we've only made it out there a couple of times). It's Blood Moon Clan, just down the hill to the west from the solar showers. The camp is right at the first intersection of the roads going that direction.
Yeah, ours is a 12x15 Panther, and it fits us very comfortably. We didn't build a bed frame, and my little truck wouldn't have the extra room... but we do bring a small table, several tubs and a foot-locker. We hang up a large tapestry as a room-divider so that half the tent is the "bedroom" and the other is a more guest-friendly living space.
