Camp shower idea

I saw this in a kayak shop and think it has potential especially when it can be pressurized with a bike pump.

I've often thought just using a run of the mill garden sprayer for this same concept, though it likely wouldn't be able to go to high pressures.

Very interesting! Thanks for the link. This could be the best solution yet for my van camper instead of solar showers or the very clever Simple Shower (works great but somewhat limited with water capacity and ease of use with larger bottles).

BTW, called the company and they told me it was 14"x12"x17" in case you're limited in where you can stow it.

Nemo Helio pressure shower is hard to beat for size and performance

The size is interesting. My initial thought was that it looked a good bit smaller than my Zodi extreme, which has a gallon more capacity. But the Zodi is only 9 x 9 x 24. The Zodi is heavier though, I'm sure (and of course $50 more expensive.) I like the nozzle on the RinseKit better I think.

Agreed.

The Nemo looks interesting too, especially where space is concerned. I wonder about that nozzle though vs. the Rinsekik which is adjustable. Still, the Rinsekit would take up a lot of space in my van and the two places I'd want to stow it are too small.

Just buy a powered handheld shower like this : http://www.amazon.com/Ivation-Batte...id=1428600673&sr=8-1&keywords=portable+shower

Zodi has one too. They even have heating elements to heat up the water. I have three LCI water cans, thinking about going this route..

So get one and let us know how long it lasts. That's the big hit on these battery powered units.

Found this black plastic sprayer at Walmart. I modified the handle a little. Just place it in the sun for a few hours and u r set. A little bulky but for $16....

We also carry a propane fired instant eco temp L5(?)...for when there no sun and u need a hot shower. The eco temp ran me about $100

I've posted this picture before so I apologize if you have already seen it. If not, it's worth considering. Simply a new bug spray tank outfitted with a kitchen sprayer. Super simple. I heat up water on the camp stove. About 1/3 boiling water and the rest cool water is just about right for a shower. Don't have to heat up all three gallons. Having to pump the handle is a bit of a pain, but the shower makes it worth it!
