The Best DIY Portable shower!

All Product links are in the Description!

Paint the can black and set it out in the sunlight full and in the evening have a warm shower. Great build.

I’ve lived off-grid the last two years while I build my house. Also, I’m self employed and drive my truck w/an Alu Cab camper on the back all over the country for about 4-6 months each year. At home & on the road I’ve been using a 2 gallon plastic weed sprayer that works by hand pumping to pressurize the canister. I just heat up some water, pump it about 8-9 times, and I’ve got a great shower, hot or cool as I want it. I’ve got a little pack on it like the example in this video, and it holds a razor, soap, everything I might need while taking a shower. I’m able to use it right next to the truck, take it down to a stream, wherever. I love it. I’ve used the current one for 2 years. I leave it outside when I’m at home. Abused it. For $30, and as bulletproof as it’s been, I can’t imagine changing things up. Not to dog on this build, because it’s a great idea, but the fewer parts the better, in my opinion. YMMV! 👍🏼🙏🏼

Good build, the only thing I would do differently if I made one would be to run the wires through the cap too, no extra holes in the can, and could restore to normal with a new cap.

I beach fished a lot. When my girls were younger I put an RV tank with a pump in the truck. No more sand in the pants, no more can we go home now LOL.

On doing a bunch of testing, you are losing a ton of pressure by using the expandable hose. Switch to a short normal one and you will gain about 3x the pressure.

I just use a weed sprayer with an extended hose and a kitchen water hand-held-sprayer on it.

I can tell the different channels you got your ideas from. I too used the exact same parts, except the bag. I love the storage bag. I chose to use the cap for all my through holes. The wiring grommet I just pipe tapped the plastic and screwed in the grommet. I secured it with a small drop of epoxy, but if you're worried about chemicals in the water you could also use a dab of plumbing safe silicone sealant. I chose to only modify the cap because the cap can be replaced by purchasing it separately if I want to make changes, or I want to quickly convert it back to a simple water tank without the pump system. Nicely done. Love all your builds.

Swapping the male to male fitting with a quick disconnect would make it much easier/faster to set up/break down. Also plumbing a clear tubing with 90° fittings on the tank from top to bottom would allow you to see the fluid level before you run out of water.

I’ve tried several variations of this water tank, from a Schrader valve with a hand pump to electric air pump. I went this route but chose to run the electrical wiring through the lid with a 2 way switch. I preferred it is way so I can unscrew the lid and everything pulls out at once. When I have to fill it up with water it was easier for me since I carry it from the campsite to the provide water source. With the 5.2gpm pump it would spray 24’ and took ~3 minutes to empty tank. Thanks for the help!

Great build but if you used a black Gerry can you could have a warm shower from leaving it in the sun. Greetings from New Zealand

I’m going to use this for the Sink and a second one for the shower. Nice. Simple. Clean. And Works !

I've held off on getting those quick disconnects for a few years because the descriptions were lackluster. If I knew they were both valved and no spill I'd have done it to begin with. I'm a trucker and I use 2 scepter cans interchangeably for water, and a marine 12v pump. Currently I just put a length of 3/8 id flexible hose through the spout and found a hose with a 5/8 od which seals perfectly to the spout with a regular o-ring. This will be so much easier.

The nice thing about it too is it’s portability from the vehicle I like that. In a pinch it could be a quick small fire extinguisher. Say if your campfire embers were a problem. This could be a very quick solution before it got out of hand.

You're right, similiar to others But your lil changes do make it look alot cleaner finish And Practical. Great Job

I like it! Love that bag option as good for keeping hoses!

Great introduction, well built... Scepter water can comes in black as well, great for warming the shower water in the sun...

Perfect for an after surf shower. Would be best mounted in the back of an SUV or truck bed with camper. I could use one of those in the summer just to cool off outside!

Had to Subscribe on this '4th' video Patrick. We think alike and after viewing 3 other vids on rocket stoves and how to improve them, your mindset to 'improve' projects is exactly how I tackle objectives. You do a great job. Very inspiring to those that look at these. Keep it up!

This is actually very good idea! Thank you for sharing this project.👍
