hey all,
just curiouse who has a shower in there rig, or other cool trail related but not really needed items?

im planning on putting a 12v pump on my truck with hose conections and whatnot, but just so i can pump water from creek to camp heat it over a fire, then pump it through a shower or something, its mostly for my g/f, but i think ill find use for it to.

anyways, anyone running anything like this? i saw 4crawlers setup and was originally going to go with that, but its expensive, so i ditched that idea in favor of a locker.

Love mine, nothing beats a hot shower after a long dusty day on the trail:

4crawler.... thats is freaking awesome!

 

Ditch the GF, you'll be able to travel further, wheel harder and go longer between showers!!! J/K

Often considered one of these my self, but couldn't bear the cost.

B/4 a trip we buy a jumbo roll of economy baby wipes to keep the grudge from building up.

On our last trip to Moab we found some German or Swiss black rubber water bags in a surplus store. Picked up 2, each holds 20L. I fill one and strap it down to the roof rack and after a day in the sun it's nice and warm.

During the shoulder seasons (late spring and early fall) I have experimented with strapping a bag to the Oh Sh#$ handles so that the bag sits snug against the in side of the wind shield, then placing a sun screen be hind it. By parking so the truck faces south you have created a mini green house. A few hrs in the sun and it's too hot to handle.

Eventually I'll get around to building my hot shower system, but I'm gonna go a different route; http://classicbroncos.com/shower.shtml

 

i have a shower bag.. cost like 20 bux at a camping store.. i leave it in the sun at camp... or strap it to my roof during the day... in the desert it gets hotter than needed when in the sun.. 3 hours into nightfall and it is still warm.. i never bring it with me solo but when i go with other rigs theres always someone who is "oh thank god, a shower!" about it..

 

4crawler.. your my hero..

 

I have one of those solar shower bags, too. Never used it to take a shower but it is handy for washing hands and face around camp with warm/hot water. Usually a bag full of water will last a whole trip, I only take it on longer trips, leave it in camp to heat up during the day.

 

yeah, i just got a new runner today and this will be the first mod i do not counting matenince stuff,

i like the idea of having it.
