Love it. Whats the footprint of the shower? We want to build something similar at our place.

It was 4 x 6. Your cabin is looking great also. Wondering how many watts was your fridge and what size investor are you using for the fridge. I just use some cheap invertors at our cabin and figured a little fridge would trip them on start up

The fridge is rated to draw about 740Wh per day. I'm not sure how many watts it draws on startup, but our El Cheapo 800 watt inverter handled it no problem. We have 430 watts of solar.

Next year we'll be upgrading to a 1000w pure sine inverter/charger (right now I'm looking at this one). Not because we necessarily need the extra juice but because I want to be able to use the genny to top off the battery bank on cloudy days.

Wow, it's looking great. The cedar shingles look really terrific. The kitchen looks cozy and very functional. And that view!!!

Looks great!

Do you have to pressurize the water for outdoor shower or kitchen sink?

Did you insulate the cabin floor?
