Most of the APH-C is cemented together. The reservoir measures out for a 9" length of 3" PVC pipe. The reservoir is roughly 2 quarts in volume, and the pressure chamber is around a pint in volume (single 3" PR for an APH-1 is a little over a quart for comparison).

I forgot to mention cost. Without a strap, the total cost plus tax came to $31.64 for materials used. The most expensive part was the 3"x1 1/2" elbow with cap at $6.99, followed by the check valves at $4.99 each, the 3" cap at $2.58, and the ball valve at $1.88.

The total cost for the addition of an onboard reservoir was $11.98 with tax (less the savings of of the 1/2" female adapter and hose barb). Obviously not as cost effective as the camp shower reservoir with tubing, but has the advantage of simplicity (you can actually set it down when needed, without dragging it around).
