Wagon with bathroom module
The present invention extends to wagons with a bathroom module and standalone bathroom modules. A bathroom module includes a water heater connected to a sink, a shower, and a toilet. The bathroom module further includes a protective layer on the exterior and an exhaust fan to facilitate the management of moisture that may build up within the bathroom module. The bathroom module can be connected to various systems provided by a wagon, such as water, gas, electrical, A/C, heat, and sewer systems connected to external sources. Alternatively, the bathroom module can standalone and include its own water, gas, electrical, A/C, heat, and sewer systems connected to external sources. Thus, when paired with a companion wagon, the bathroom module may be installed or removed as desired.
1 . A wagon comprising:
a chassis;
one or more axles attached to a side of the chassis;
one or more wheels attached to each of the one or more axles;
a flooring surface attached to another side of the chassis;
a first side surface attached to the flooring surface near a flooring surface edge;
a second side surface attached to the flooring surface near another flooring surface edge opposing the flooring surface edge;
an exterior canopy frame support attached to the first side surface and the second side surface and spanning between the first side surface and the second side surface;
a canopy resting on the exterior of the exterior canopy frame support and spanning between the first side surface and the second side surface;
an air conditioning system including:
a compressor/condenser mounted to the chassis below the flooring surface;
an air handler mounted above the flooring surface and under the canopy; and
an air conduit connecting the compressor/condenser and the air handler;
a heating system including:
a heater mounted to the chassis below the flooring surface; and
a heat intake/exhaust vent connected to the heater;
a water system including:
a water conduit mounted to the chassis below the flooring surface;
a water connector on one end of the water conduit; and
another water connector on another end of the water conduit;
a sewer system including:
a sewer conduit mounted to the chassis below the flooring surface;
a sewer connector on one end of the sewer conduit; and
