Far from the best, but this is what we use.

I like that! Is that just a regular shower rod? How did you attach it?

They are 2 shower curtains sewed together. The rod is 1/2 conduit bent at the angles and direction to slide into a 3/4 PVC pipe built into the side of the trailer through the trim. The PVC is about 18" long epoxied in at the trim end and caps at the other to prevent water from getting in to the tear. The whole thing slides out easily and will fit inside the trailer or in the tow vehicle. We only have this on the one side the wifes side for her use mainly.
In this pic. if you look closly you can see the PVC in the trim.

This is one that was a builders option with the CampInn. It has been in 45-50 mph winds on the coast. I think it would fit on many others. Side tents are real nice, a great place to get dressed while standing up.

Not the best, just something simple.

We have the one from Camp Inn and I love it. It stood up to what we think was a small tornado in Colorado. There were trees down all around us and most lost their E-Z ups or canopy's. We are sold on it! I am one of those that can't be closed in so it also lets me leave the door open and feel more at ease with the small space.

Ya gotta be real brave to cut a couple 3" holes in the side of your trailer but this installation take about 90 seconds to yank out and slip on 2 fancy cloth shower panels.

The black 2" schedule 80 pvc slides snuggly inand out of the 2 1/2" schedule 40 pvc pipe that is installed inside the tear. I left 1 outside joint unglued to break the u shaped outer rail and slip on the privacy curtain. The clips are rings of 2 1/2" pipe that have not quite 1/4 cut away this makes a clip that were drilled for a 3/8 joining nut attached to a 1/2" 3/8 bolt This make a pocket for the fiberglass survey stakes ( 1.65 at most farm stores) A tarp or nylon cover slipped over these roof ribs completes the "tent"
Growing older but not up !

Sorry you can't see my changing room very well in these pictures but behind the 10' x 20' EZ-up is another 12' x 12' EZ-up that has all four side walls put up (see the red wall in front and a blue wall on the side?). So, I just crawl out of the left side of the trailer into total privacy. When I don't need privacy, all four walls unzip in the center and can be folded back for fresh air. Depending on the weather and campsite tree coverage, I won't always use the 10' x 20' EZ-up but I would always plan on having the 12' x 12' on the side.

This is not my tent, but I like this one. It's free standing.
