Yakima Road Shower

[Scooter]

I have not seen this product on here. Yakima pressurized road shower.
Its the main thing I hate about camping in a remote area, is not being able to have a shower.
Sometimes a lake is not handy.

It looks like it would work well to wash dirt Mnt Bikes etc.
Not sure how well it works as a shower.

It is heated by the sun.
Pressurized via Schrader valve.
Looks well made.

Comes in:
RoadShower SM with 4 gallons of water – 53 lbs.
RoadShower MD with 7 gallons of water – 84 lbs.
RoadShower LG with 10 gallons of water – 120 lb

I like the idea, not sure I like the weight up top though. I've that about the below before and will probably pull the trigger on it at some point.

My son is a plumber and goes camping a lot. He rigged up his own using 6” PVC pipe. Has all the needed fittings, allows for pressuring with compressed air and the bonus is, sitting in the sun all day heats up the water. He says enough volume to take 3 good showers before needing refills. He laughs and says cost me 25 bucks dad!

Like Trig said, I feel there are other ways to go about taking a shower in the woods. I use a 2 gallon fertilizer sprayer LOL. It has the hand pump so you get some pressure. I wash dishes with it too. Bought it on Amazon for 11 bucks. My intension was to retrofit the pump to fit a 5 gallon but it worked decently enough as is. There's tons of diy camp showers on youtube as well!

I may try to make one of these. There's a lot of force with the water sloshing. It may make sense to fill it up once you have stopped. Maybe baffles would be a good idea if you wish to fill it and drive.

Got one back in the middle of last summer. Overall, very happy with how well it functions.

I was surprised at how well it pressurized with only using the inherent water pressure to fill it. They provide a female-female hose connection so it is easy to hook up to a garden hose. I assumed I'd have to top it off with an air compressor each time to get anything useable, but I was dead wrong.

I've mostly used it camping for cleaning pots/dishes, spraying off muddy dogs, and rinsing off dust from the sides of the truck. Makes all of those super easy having a pressurized stream. Haven't really used it to shower. I had it in direct sun once on a hot day and it felt decently warm, otherwise it stays cool. It's also easy to fill up and re-pressurize with a portable compressor while camping.

No issues with weight distribution or feedback while driving. Not sure if you have it mounted higher than I do if you might.

I'm sure that it's a decent shower setup. But how much is the fish? No prices are available. I have no experience of using road showers, don’t you think the main flaw here is the low water pressure? Is there any sense to add a custom high-pressure shower head? Or professional, like SparkPod(exactly this one) products?
