I set up a shower tent to prevent the grey water tank from filling up quickly when we boondock. Our previous camper had an outside shower, but our current one does not, so I bought some adapters from Lowe’s to connect a hose to the low point drains, and a sprayer for the other end. The shower tent fits nicely between the 2 slideouts. Similar to this one;

We have considered getting on of these for the same reason also, but my question is do they make openings in the side of the tent to put the hose through, besides the door?
Ours did not have a hole. I cut a flap at approximately the same height as the outside shower on our old camper, and taped the cut edges with gorilla tape. The tape has held up very well. I use a couple of bungee cords to secure the tent between the slideouts, otherwise the wind tips it over. One downfall to my setup is I have no mixing valve. The hose is connected to the hot low point drain. So to avoid scalding water I have to turn on the water heater and get a shower in between too cold and before it gets to full temperature. Our suburban water heater has no temperature adjustment. I tried using a hose “y” to connect both hot and cold to the hose at the low point drains, but all I get is cold water that way.
