Rhino USA Portable Solar Camp Shower - 5 Gal/20L for Camping & Overlanding

I’m going to give this 5 stars because I appreciate that the product was still well made. However my brother and I did struggle but maybe it’s just a learning curve. My brother and I did a Mud Run and decided to buy a pop up tent and a portable shower for afterwards. We filled it up at our location, because we did not want to risk any leaking in the car. Bought a 5 gallon jug to fill it up, because there were no water spouts available. Put it on the top of our car to heat up but it was cloudy so I don’t think it made much of a difference but that’s okay! Parts were cool and everything looked and felt well made- it was just using the product. When filled up the structural integrity wasn’t standing very well but we still used it and made it work. Had to constantly pump with our foot throughout the shower for water flow (which can be a little challenging when trying to get soap out of your hair or eyes) but again we made it work. It’s not impossible and we still really appreciated having it to rinse off after the mud run. Had quite a bit water left over that we just decided to dump out and again still loved it, just struggled with using the foot pump. There was no where at the location to hang it, and because it’s 5 gallons trying to lift it would’ve been almost impossible. Almost wished there was a way to keep the foot pump still on the floor or maybe have a strap around the foot pump to attach around your foot, so it’s easier to pump when washing soap out of your hair, face, eyes, etc. Or I just need to have better balance. Other than that we still really loved having it and still made it work!

Used this on a trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park. It was great for cleaning up at the end of the day. It was sunny every day we were there, but I guess it just wasn't warm enough to really get the water up to a good temp. The shower action worked great though. A few pumps while standing on the tailgate of the truck, and the water pressure was great! I filled it up before we left home, and it didn't leak on the way there. It rolled around in the truck bed all weekend and no issues. It was great and it will be on my next camping trip.

Easy to use and like how small it is to store when not in use. Holds more than enough water and for the price you can’t beat it. I like how it comes with a hook to hang up when using it and when it sits in the sun the water warms up pretty quick

I purchased this to create a camping sink faucet in an attempt to go completely manual. And maybe I'm not quite prepared for that. I struggled with the foot pumping, the sprayer squeezing, and the leftover single hand to wash my dishes. That's a me problem, because this is designed to be a shower, I suppose, but i can't imagine constantly stomping, holding a sprayer, and trying to apply shampoo/conditioner/soap at the same time. That all said, It's really well made gear that conjures quality, a great value (similar items were almost double the cost and their quality looked questionable), and very compact and easy to transport. We will figure out a better way to work with this pump maybe, but in the meantime, I've also purchased a rechargeable water pump/shower that I can drop into the rhino water bag and use more quietly and efficiently.

Love it... little tricky to use but worked great

Update - I ended up returning this. No doubt it is better than the cheapo hanging solar shower bags, and I am sure it will work well for some. For me, it did not warm up well even though I placed it in full sun. And the pumping/pressurizing did not create much of a flow. I am going to modify a garden sprayer with an electric (battery) pump instead. Bought this to upgrade a solar shower bag I have been using. The cheap bag worked alright, but had some annoyances, like the flimsy connection of the shower head hose, and the inability to stand up or stay in place (like when placed on a hot car roof, it tended to roll off). Also, the refill cap would tend to snap off at inconvenient times and spill the carefully heated shower water where it was not wanted at all. Also, the way the fill port and shower head hose were connected, it was near impossible to fully drain it, so some water would remain and foul up over time. This seems well made, and hold water securely. I have not used it much yet as I am still testing and de-odorizing it. Needs a few fill and drain cycles to lose some of the PVC smell. I am not sure how much the bag can be pumped up before the seals pop, but I am erring a bit on the safe side. That in turn does not provide much pressure on the sprayer unless the container is also elevated. This will be tested in real life soon, but I assume you can't have this standing on the ground and take a shower since the pressure is not enough to overcome the water column weight. One can hang this up in a tree or stand it on a table, and this is also suggested in the instructions (at least 1 meter height), however, the hose that connects the pump/check valve is too short so the foot pump dangles in the air when the contraption is elevated and therefore can't be foot-pumped. Of course, the hose for the shower head is very long and part of it could be repurposed to extending the foot pump hose. The bottom collar is a good idea and will help to keep it upright on level, even ground, but unless it is fully pumped it will fall over in grass or on a decline etc. It says to place it in sun for two hours and it will be "ready". I filled it with cold water and had in exposed to full sun and the water temperature barely registered on the thermometer after about 8 hours. I think it depends on many factors, but the "2 hours" seems overly optimistic, or at least depends on your definition of "ready". Most of these bags have a transparent side that lets the sunlight enter (not unlike in a greenhouse) and the opposing side is black and heats up the water. This shower bag only has a small transparent area on the top. I think if one half of the bag would be transparent it would warm up much faster. As is, the black plastic which is exposed to the sun gets hot, but unfortunately due to gravity this is mostly the area where no water touches the sides. For example, if you lay it down flat, most of the top area that warms up will have air underneath (unless it is completely filled), and air is not a good heat conductor so the water on the bottom will take longer to change its temperature. I am not sure what the alien white squeegee thing with 7 suckers is for. Hold the shower head attached to a window, maybe? Scoured the instructions but nothing found. I will find a use for it, surely. Not convinced the pumping functionality will be very useful, but we'll see. I am going to update this after some time using it during camping trips.

10/10 when we go camping very easy to use and helpful when washing dishes too !

Sometime, rhino comes through. Sometimes they’re just being cost leader at the expense of everything else. A CLEAR rip off of the Helios LX but with cheaper materials and, due to the cheap hose and its smaller inner diameter, spray is very very weak even when pumped up with all my 250 lbs on the pedal.

Returned. Top cover didn't hold pressure

Resistente muy cómodo,la única pega el tubo muy largo y poca presión.

Au top

Ben fatto e robusto ha resistito al viaggio nel deserto senza mai deludere o avere perdite.

Fantastico, veramente di qualità superiore, ne ho già avute altre, ma questa ha veramente una qualità superiore, per il materiale di cui è fatta, per le cuciture resistenti e ricoperte a caldo, per tante piccole accortezze tecniche che ne semplificano l'utilizzo pratico e per l'inaspettata garanzia a vita
