Now that is a great idea, especially if you have been driving all day.

Re: Roadshower available again

The RoadShower shower curtain setup is kind of a cool idea, and would be easy to make and implement on a SMB. It uses PVC pipe and Yakima snap-arounds.

That may be the killer issue. 5 gallons is enough for us for bathing-Ish things for a weekend it frees internal water for food & drink.

Boy, I have 6' of 4" ABS and now I guess I should start thinking of plumbing one.

Maybe mount it on the aide nerf bars. Not as much sun maybe, but convenient.

Pop a tire valve in and pressurize using your air tank to force water into a hand shower head? Those potato cannons seem to hold a lot of pressure so maybe it would work. And ive see tube bumper air tanks, so why not water? Then you wouldn't have to rely on gravity and you could mount it elsewhere. Like on the ladder, top of bumper, etc. and just a couple of feet of 4" pipe could probably hold enough for a shower.
