Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just found this product is USA and was wandering if anyone has any experience of them:

Looks awesome, but the shower looks like a weed sprayer to me, probably easy to find a big capacity one and stick a shower head on it. They recon the Hydro shower gets 5 minutes out of it. I like the portability.

While I can see the appeal of the engine mounted showers I dont like the idea of taking a shower close to the vehicle. Well I dont mind but the girls do. It it worth getting one to just produce hot water or just heat water over a fire/stove?

Any advice out there?

theres about 1021029820394023948 of them sorta tings on the aussie market. you dont need to look in USA.

I bought one of the $25 plastic coleman ones.
works well.. stand in a recycle bin, and recycle the hot water for a longer shower.

meh, the chick is hot it was worth posting

edit:

a lot of guys rig up heat exchangers in their radiator piping/exhaust piping to heat up water.

generally works pretty well - some guys have said it works too well and you need to let it cool down lol

Well I am not an expert web wheeling rock god, only a camping/4x4 enthusiast. After some searching I could not find one other shower like this on Australian web sites, other than those suggesting this American one.

That looks good, always helps with a near naked chick, thanks for posting it, I haven't seen one in Oz maybe you should post up a link Bruce

I took my 2 year boy didn't see much at all which was a shame cause there seemed alot of things that needed more than a passing glance going by myself next year,
but the efs chicks did catch my eye though

Cheers Dazz

That looks great. Just about perfect.
Thankz Antz

Something like that would be fairly easy to make. Just get a fairly strong plastic drum & then pressurise it with your air compressor. about 10 psi would do the trick. You could also pressurise it with a high flow push bike pump. I do it all the time when filling diffs with oil & its the same principle, the oil containers take a fair bit of pressure before the lid pops off. A good quality 20lt drum would do it. A steel drum you could nearly pressure wash your truck with it

Well done Antz for posting something useful to a reasonable question without the smartarse comments Some others could learn there is a time & a place for that & this thread wasnt it.

That's what I have. A 40L black container. In summer I leave it out for a few hours in the sun and it gets a bit armer or fill it with some heated water. The lid has a hole cut in it which I put a valve from a bike tube through. Then i just pressurise it with a small air compresoor. Works great

That looks the same as my stainless steel weed sprayer i got from Bunnings with a shower head on it.

stainless youv'e gotta love the BLING factor

I am off to Bunning to have a look - a stainless weed sprayer - sounds like a definate shower project...
Combined with my cheapass shower stand:

What about a pressure valve? If I use my compressor to charge the container to say 20PSI I would need a pressure cutoff or bleed valve right?

And I just thought of something else, cut it open and put a heater element in it - could be used for drinking if its a stainless tank too...

$20 from Jaycar will get this



No, I mean the shower rose/handle, hose and pump



All you need is to drop the pump on the other end into a bucket of warm water.

I have also seen them in supercrap and some cheapy shops. True you still need a 12v power supply but it does not have to be next to your 4b

More shower fun:


This thread is good in more ways than one...

And another...

Sexy red X, Id hit it.

3rd hit on google for camp shower

I'll stick to the $7 solar ones :)

Yep, you can have quite a few cheapies for 425 bucks

And they are salt water friendly. ++

Onya Bruce, recycled clacker residue contaminated water
I'd imagine after all your mates had a shower and de-crustified themselves after numerous beer shits they'd all end up with some bizzare E-Coli stomach infection, except for the first one to shower

i have 1 of the jaycar showers for $20 ..... works a treat.

12v supply not a problem as i have the 4wd with when i am camping !!!

I have a home made unit that we have copied and sold to a few friends, it uses a Alloy coiled section placed over a gas burner, hooked to a submersible pump(like the $20 unit above) ecept we use a slightly better version, I take a picture of the complete unit and post.

As for the dollars I will check current cost of making unit and let you know.

Most of it (hoses, pump, gas burner, etc...) people will already have, just need the Alloy coil unit.
