YAKIMA Road Shower SM (4 gallons)
Enjoy the comfort of hot, pressurized water during your vehicle-based adventures. Road Shower is like adding plumbing to your vehicle's rack. With the Road Shower, you can have instant and easy access to pressurized water wherever you go!
The Road Shower has many uses for adventurers and overlanders, beyond just showers. You can use it to assist with washing dishes, as a pressurized jet to rinse off dirty gear, to gently spray off pets, or for extra drinking water.
The folks at Road Shower have been hard at work improving their incredible roof rack-mounted showers and are now at version 4.0! The newest Road Shower 4 lineup comes in three models of varying sizes: 4S, 4, and 4L. Each Road Shower 4 model can be pressurized up to 65 psi, a huge improvement over the earlier showers. For reference, 65 psi is enough pressure to shoot water 45 ft! You'll probably want to tone it down a bit in order to shower comfortably outdoors, but it's a nice option to have if you need to blast mud off your gear!
Road Shower 4 Dimensions and Capacity Comparison Chart
Road Shower 4S - RS04S - Sufficient for day trips to the beach or hiking trips. Suitable for smaller cars and racks. Enough for 2 camp showers. About 6 minutes of pressurized water if you dial down the pressure. Overall lighter and smaller than the Road Shower 4 and Road Shower 4L.
The Road Shower 4S is ideal for smaller vehicles, or those who are trying to manage the cumulative weight of gear on their roof rack. Clocking in at just under 50 lbs when full, the Road Shower 4S provides enough water for a quick adventure.
Road Shower 4S Portable Camping Shower Features
There are no electrical parts to connect or propane to hook up. It is almost maintenance free and should last you many years. The tank absorbs sunlight to heat the water. Each Road Shower 4S has a dedicated, built in air chamber, so you can fill it up all the way, and then pressurize it without having to leave any space for air. You can fill it with water from a jug or hose and pump it up with a compressor or bike pump. Or you can simply fill & pressurize at the same time using your garden hose (note: the pressure achieved with this method will be equal to the pressure of the water line for your hose).
- Instant easy access to hot pressurized water: no propane, pumps, or set up needed.
