ABSTRACT:
A portable shower stall is disclosed. The present invention is designed to utilize a conventional trailer receiving hitch by providing a portable bathing apparatus, otherwise similar in nature to those commonly suspended from overhanging objects, designed to be secured directly to a standard receiver hitch. A main frame, of a generally linearly elongated, rectangular, upstanding, L-shaped configuration slidably engage and fittingly secures inside of the square channel of a conventional receiver hitch typically found on a motor vehicle, such as a truck or camper, via a frictional fit. A trailer receiving hitch connecting means connects the present invention to the trailer hitch via locking means. A water container holding hook or similar device is located on the end of the vertical member, opposite the horizontal member. The water container holding hook is used to releasably secure a water container above the user's head. A valve is used to facilitate controlled release of the water from the water container. A circular, shower curtain supporting member, of a circular, wire-type configuration, is designed to slidably engage vertically along the vertical member while the circular, shower curtain supporting member remains positioned in a horizontal plane. Linear, vertical adjustment of the circular, shower curtain supporting member along the vertical member is accomplished via a vertical adjustment means. A shower curtain is slidably secured to the circular, shower curtain supporting member.
