I have the shower heads mounted on A frames from my diesel shower unit.....we should be able to jury rig something with some tarps for privacy (trust me...there are some things that should not be displayed in public).
I have seen the shower house at DT and it is not exactly the Ritz.
You Sir are a glutton for punishment.....I drove a deuce 60 miles Wed and was roasting by the time I got home.

There is a guy here that works on CB's but he does not advertise and only does it for locals.

I run 50/50 diesel/veggie in my diesel Ford Ranger in hot weather......you can run UMO but the M1009 is a straight diesel....not a multi-fuel.
Once the weather cools off you need to back off the veggie because it will thicken up in the tank and lines. In the deuce I just put in gasoline to...
I have a long 4 conductor power cable that was in my van trailer.
It will need a new plug in (the kind that RV's plug in with) and a four receptecle plug box put on to replace the military ends.

If you know someone with a big farm tractor with front end loader you can get it off by chaining the king pin to the bucket and raising the landing gear up high enough to ease it off.....either by pulling it backward with the tractor or holding it fast and pulling the trailer out from under it...
If you have current unit markings of an active duty organization (bumper numbers and unit designators) on a military vehicle that is still in active service you are impersonating a Federal Asset.
