>6 volt batteries have much more power than 12 volt< . You must be an American to understand this, I as a German don't. Volkswagen has abolished to equip the Beetle with 6 volt batteries in 1967 and has changed to 12 volts. Reason: to have more power.

I would get a pop up shower with the sink faucet to attach above and able to pull down if you wanted. I would pop it up on the steps to sit and let it drain down the steps. With waterproof steps of course. Then just air out and fold up. Sometimes its too cold for outdoor shower and its private. You could have the pop up at the bottom to hold the water until able to open the doors, and let it fold inside itself! The rest is perfect! I would use the long cabinet for clothes and shoes or tubs, with wheels! The botom of pop up could be rubbermaid and form to the steps and hold water.
