Do you want a solar shower that you can mount on the top of your SUV, truck or van? The Yakima Road Shower can attach to most roof racks with the included hardware. Plus it automatically heats in the sun, whether you’re driving or parked.
Yakima RoadShower VS Other Portable Solar Showers:
Compared to portable shower bags or pump-up pressure showers, the Yakima shower is ready when you are. In other words, it doesn’t require extra time to set up and heat.
Also, the elongated shape allows for more surface area than square or round shower tanks/tubs. Therefore, water can heat up faster, which can end up meaning warmer showers. =)
Furthermore, since it sits outside your vehicle, it doesn’t take up valuable storage space inside. Plus, it can lock securely to the roof rack with a padlock or cable (not included). So, you don’t have to worry about having it accidentally disappear.
Features that Make This Solar Shower Even More Convenient:
Both ends of the tank have water outlets, which makes showering even more convenient. Now, you aren’t limited to where you shower, even though the water storage tank stays stationary.
Not to mention, the elevated set-up puts the water tank in the ideal location for showering. The spray hose also measures over 4.5 feet long. Therefore, you can easily wash off sandy feet, a muddy dog or dirty dishes.
Note: You can pressurize the tank through the Schrader air valve using a bike pump or air compressor. Alternatively, you can use a garden hose with the included hose adapter.
DIY Review on How to Use the Yakima Roof Rack Shower:
In the video below, RackOutfitters.com demonstrates how the Road Shower works. Plus, you can see how to attach the Yakima shower securely to a roof rack using the mounting hardware.
Note: The tank does come with a hose and spray nozzle. However, if you want a stationary (yet flexible) shower head, get the RoadShower FlexHead accessory.
It attaches to the on/off elbow at either end of the water tank via quick-connect hardware. Plus, it’s a low flow showerhead with good pressure, so you can enjoy a good rinse without quickly running your tank dry.
