Offroading Gear4x4 Road Rinser 14 Liter Pressurized Water Rinser Tank & Shower| Can fit on Roof Rack or Hitch Mounted| Great for Camping| Overland| Beach| Etc. | Black

I do camping and fishing/crabbing on the beach and always need to rinse-off the salt-water and sand from my gear. Salt water ruins everything!I've been shopping and researching for the past 2 years for some portable camping shower system.I've tried the pesticide sprayer types that never have the CFM water output. They just wet things but really don't do much to remove sand, dirt, without additional manual wiping, etc.The battery operated ones that you submerge into a bucket also are weak. It's an additional cumbersome 5 gal bucket that's sloshing around in the trunk that needs to be strapped down. Have to worry about batteries or make sure it's charged before using it.Collapsible buckets usually don't have lids or the zipper isn't water proof. You can't always find a faucet onsite to fill it so with the 5 gal bucket w cover, you have to haul water from home to the beach or campsite.The solar bag showers rarely survive...seams split, get punctures and utlimately leak. Some of these are $100s which is ridiculous.I looked at mini submersible pumps but you have to deal with hoses and power cords that can be a nuisance along with a bucket of water.There are other pressurized tanks that can be mounted to a roof rack or tow hitch, but they can be $280-$800!!!! And a few of them are only molded plastic....others are welded aluminum tanks and fittings.The Roadrinser is a welded aluminum cylindrical tank with air-fill valve, pressure release valve, water-fill cap, and a full-length welded aluminum extrusion mounting bracket underneath that allows you to attach the included brackets to either the roof rack of your car/SUV/truck or a standard 2" tow hitch (bracket included).Also included is a great little shower head with 3 positions (flood, spray and mist) and a quality hose. Many other pressurized systems come with a cheap plastic garden spray nozzle and cheap hose ( I expect more if I have to pay $500 for them!). Included is a cheapy hanging mount attached to the tank that allows the shower head to be fixed and spraying from your roof rack. A solid/rigid clamp is to store the shower head when not being used. It works really well but needs some modification so the clamp doesn't twist.Let's not forget that the Roadrinser comes with a bicycle pump to pressurize the tank. I only filled the tank 1/4 full and pumped it up 20 times. The pressure was excellent and easily emptied the tank. Water pressure was easily 2-3x that of any camp shower system I've seen. I will have to update my review once I fill the entire tank and see what type of pressure is required to empty it.$179 is a no-brainer if you've been wanting these pressurized shower/rinsers...many use them for off-roading and camping.The ONLY negative(s):1) the cheapy clamp for the shower head while in use is plastic and can easily snap off. I'm going to machine a billet aluminum or steel version.2) the rigid clamp for storing the shower head ...swivels about. Think about it, one screw through a circular clamp and that's being tightened against a flat surface...so there's not a whole lot of surface contact as it pivots about 1 screw. I plan on machining a plastic fitting that encapsulates the circular clamp and prevents it from swiveling.3) The tow hitch adapter comes with a hitch pin, but bot a LOCKING hitch pin. Lucky I already have one. However, even if the hitch is locked, you can still remove the entire tank with 4 screws. So I am designing a locking plate so you can't just unscrew it. Anywhere you go with the tank attached, you're going to run into some punks or homeless that will want to screw with what you have....which may also included cutting or yanking the hose off or evening peeing in the tank (LOL). Harder to do if the tank is on the roof rack. But again, there needs to be some locking device to prevent removal of screws like Yakima and Thule have for their racks.

Ended up sending it back, smaller then I thought, but there was like 6 spots in the welds that under pressure leaked.

The unit is well made and was fairly easy to install on the bumper of our travel trailer. We do a fair amount of boondocking and felt this would be excellent for it. It builds up pressure no issue, which we discovered as we drove in the sun, pressure naturally would build. It's also quite attractive in terms of style and looked rather "rugged" and kind of cool, if that's important to you.

Like the title says, it is a nice road shower, and it works very well, but the rails are of soft aluminum, and I almost stripped the one side while installing... Also, the supplied brackets are terrible and took forever to install. I can't knock the product as it is one of the cheapest road showers available, I just wish the bottom rail was stronger and the mounting brackets were easier to use.Pros:Nice pressure and lasts a decent amount of timeEasy to use once you get it setupHeats the water nicely and doesn't burn, at least with my experience.Cons:Brackets are cheapBottom rails can warp/strip if not careful installingThe shower head itself was fine, but the cord was short

Good design but not really working, constant pumping needed, tried to fix the valve leak but still leaking..

It's nice but it would have been nice to have some kind of solution to heat water for a hot shower.I suppose you can leave it in the sun, or fill it with water from a hose that is left out in the sun, or pour hot water into it. Maybe even drape it with a hot pad.It would be a bad idea to put one end of in the fire because there is a rubber gasket on the bib used to pressurize the tank. And I have a stick that heats water but it doesn't fit into the tank. I guess heat it up first then pour it in.

I bought this for rinsing off after a day on the trails and I really like it so far! Capacity is decent, but not excessive. I would recommend having another source of water on board as well. As far as build quality, metal is not overly thick but should hold up to some abuse. I will update my review as I test it more, but so far I really like it and would buy as a gift in a second!
