RoadShower Portable Pressurized Water Storage, Camping Shower, 7 Gal | With Garden Hose Adapter and 55 in. Hose for Beach, Road Trip, Outdoor Cleanup, and Travel Wash Station Use

I camp / overland extensively and I remember when the road shower hit the market a few years ago. I really liked the concept, but the price was too high. I attempted to build a PVC copy, but at the end of the day all it did was store water. I purchased at least two shower bags over the years which worked OK. I just returned from a remote backcountry trip from the North Rim Grand Canyon where we used the shower bag. Again it was OK, it did the job. After I had a signal I ordered the Yakima Roadshower 7 gallon. I received it today, inspected it, and installed it. I was very impressed with the quality of the roadshower!!!! I filled it with water, pressurized it and I was shocked at how well it worked. This is a lesson that I unfortunately have to learn over and over again, I should have bought it earlier and not wasted time or money on a PVC copy or shower bags. Bottom line, I am very happy with the purchase, I wish I had it on this last trip. Just buy it, it is worth it.

Great design, sturdiness and functional for off-roading. I installed the tank onto a Rhino Rack Pioneer Rack with Maximus setup next to a iKamper Mini 2.0 RTT. (2018 JL Rubicon 4 door). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a bracket to use so I made my own. I used 14" Mending Straps, from Amazon. For stability I used a total of 8 straps, custom bent by hand. The straps are held in place using bolts inside the accessory railing on the RR. For added safety, I placed two black 1/2 nylon tie downs (They blend in) around the tank and attached to the RR. I've used the tank a couple of times and was pleased with how well it kept the water warm. Give it a try! The tank is also mountable in other locations, see the website. The tank and setup works for me.

No complaints seems like real quality.

My van doesn’t have a rack nor is it possible to add one (2014 sienna L model)…anyway I really wanted this regardless since I live at the beach and frequently go to the mountains. Happy to say I modified an aluminum cargo rack for a tight fit. Just a grinder for cutting and there you go.

I really wanted to love this thing, but it fell short and I suppose the easiest thing to do would've been to find a better fitments, but that's unacceptable for the price you're paying. Firstly, it's built like a tank. Very dense aluminum and a gnarly powder coat. Secondly, it has two different mounting options to suit your needs. HOWEVER, the hose and the valve attachment were poor quality. The hose is poorly crimped and leaks at the coupling fitment, but to make matters worse, it's all likely due to the valve. Where the valve connects to the tank, you can either leave the valve pointing downward (as in the pictures) but still loose enough to hand-turn a full 180° to the stop where the male thread at the hose end points UPWARD. If you tighten it to the stop, the upward facing thread causes the hose to fail and leak once pressurized. If you shut the valve off, you'll stop the leak great.... But when you need it, everything gets wet and you lose water faster than you realize. 4gallons went super quick for me under these circumstances and so that was the deal breaker for me.

After pressurizing this, I noticed a pinhole leak in the tank. Yakima, though it is in the warranty window, refused to help me replace it. Klymit keeps sending me to Yakima. I am stuck with a defective product. Avoid this purchase.

Like the product. I almost popped on the 10 gal, but read a review about the weight of the products when loaded w water and opted for the 7 gal as I wanted to use the dynamic weight bearing capacity of my topper in more diverse ways. I believe full the 7 gal is 85lbs,, and the 10 gal is 130lbs. The mounting hardware is sufficient. What it comes with does not allow you to utilize T-slots in roof racks or an RTT. It requires additional hardware for this. I wanted to undermount the Road shower from my roof racks, but it utilizes pressure along with gravity to expell water so mounting it upside down or from the side rail both place the valve in high relative to the water positions which is antithetical to operation. So mount it upright. Mounts that attach to the underside of roof racks and into the side of the road shower are a viable option, but the instructions recommend more than just two mounting points when mounting from the side. It is made of aluminum and is heavy when loaded so increasing to 4 points of contact would significantly increase the mounting strength. Filling and pressurizing the tank are easy. It comes with quick connect attachments for the valve and hose. You can use a quick connect from the water source into the tank through the valve with the tank closed other than the valve, and this will fill and pressurize the tank. The other option is to gravity fill and hand pressurize via the Schrader valve. A small bicycle hand pump is a must for this. Max 65psi rated. The tank itself does not have a pressure gauge, so the instructions show a vehicle tire gauge being used. The tank comes with a thermometer gauge that sticks on. It heats through sun exposure. So afternoon showers over morning. The biggest wish for a revise from the manufacturer is the addition of a sight glass to see the water level. A pressure gauge is number two. Once you begin using it is difficult to gauge water use and plan ahead for fill ups. Downside: My quick connect fitting from the valve to the hose leaks when the valve is open and the tank pressurized. This means positioning the tank so it doesn't pour water into the topper when the back window is open or onto the tailgate when open is key. I want it positioned so it can be used to shower after surfing but also to wash dishes camping. I will likely buy additional mounting hardware to under mount it from the roof racks. I work construction and roof rack real estate is at a premium. I have used it a dozen times and taken it camping to San Quintin in Baja CA. The off road conditions there test the weight and dynamic capacity of roof racks, toppers, and the road shower. It took the conditions like a champ. You can mount the tank by yourself quite easily empty, but I recommend draining it completely before attempting to move or reposition it. I know I will like it much more after I undermount it. The Kammok Talon Crosswing mounting hardware using my roof rack 's T-slots on the cross bar underside with added steel plates to create more mounting points might work. You'd have to see what I am imagining. It'll work.

It was just the item as described and arrived really quick and with zero scratches, really great service! And the item was really what I was expecting!
