How are you planning to be sure the water coming out of your make-shift
shower goes into the sump where all grey water is to go?
Thinking about the impact of body salts & campsuds scattered across the
backcountry due to contraband showers by multiple crews causes me to
shudder.
If a daily sponge bath by the sump is not sufficient in the worst case
scenario, you probably ought to stay home.
