I need to shower sometimes when there are none. So today I bought 1.5 m length of 100mm. Added a shower rose and tap into the end. And I am planning to fit a tubeless tyre valve into the filler cap. The idea is put my cordless compressor onto the valve. Turn on charge a bit and leave running. My idea is the air will give me some pressure. Painted black to warm water. Do you think it will work?

The business end.

Top idea.. Temp may be an issue.. If you can mount it close to the body while setup in full Sun you may get a warm shower, but I would expect steamy water..
You'll be surprised at how little pressure you will need to empty that tube of water.
I'd fit a water saver head restricted further again.. 9L/min is heaps for Bush, and would give you maybe 3 mins of shower from that tube??
But again, clever..
Yeah it's a do the job shower. No shortage of sun in the top end. Too hot may be an issue. Thinking quick wet. Soap up. Rinse off. Just an idea but ill report later how it worked. :)
Will be on roof rack. Fitting in a min. Another pic coming. As I'm off bush again for the week. Plenty of clean creeks to refill with a jug. :) just measured and holds 15L.
Good idea mate, like it. Could also add a buzzer to warn water is low, time to rinse off :)
Any idea how many mm a valve hole is? Plan to drill tonight if I can work that out and call into tyre shop on way in morning and instal valve. Wife reckons I should add a quick rerelease air fitting and have the rose on a hose. Not a bad idea!
The air you pump in will go up obviously so you might need to park nose up a bit to be able to use all available water

Yeah thanks. Have mounted the front of tube higher than back for that. May need mods. But plan "a" so far. $48 so far. :)Quote:
