2x2 ft is not terribly big, but your van isn't too big either. Too much plumbing, seems to me.
I used solar showers on two occasions: in Hawaii in November and in Mexico in February, and didn't like it.
In Hawaii there were trees on the camp, so it was never hot.
In Mexico it was out in the open and the weather was mostly sunny, and there was a choice of solar shower and regular propane shower. Since showers were free, it made sense saving own propane. I found myself using solar shower only when the propane one was taken by somebody else. It was never hot when I needed it, neither in the morning nor in the evening. Maybe in summer I would've used it more often in daytime, but then, in summer I don't need a hot shower too much - it's too hot out there as it is.
