Heaps of guys have a similar setup already. Nothing new there.

The air pressure gizmo looks good.

Most Aussie guys who have this setup, have found that the sun out here makes the water too hot for a shower. Hot enough to burn skin.

Now that some smart cookie is making money out of the idea, I am sure the DIY guys out there will be rushing to modify their setup.

We may even see the results on this Forum!

Realise that Bill but I liked the pressure valve idea. Agree our sun can make the water very hot.

We could hold a sweep to see just how long it takes? LOL

I would like to know how long it takes for that weight of outrigger water container to break off the mountings. It seems to be well away from the support of the roof and the rack already has some load on it.

Good idea but as mentioned,but regulating the temp is the most important feature of any system! I like the C02 pump but a compressor would do the same. Michael

Ross! You are right about the mount, it wouldn't stand up to the corrugations here in OZ! I think its mainly black top in the US! Michael

Probably gain a lot more interest if the young lady showering on the website, was on the promotional video, rather than Ol' Mate rinsing his silver locks!!!

Would suggest too, that Australian black soil wouldn't rinse off quite as easily as the dirt on the bike and kayak. Otherwise it looks like a neat idea,

Bob.

That system needs more pressure! That sheila still has flies on her face after running the water over it!!!!! Michael

It looks like it is a LH drive vehicle, hence the gear on the RHS.

I wonder if the vehicle has seating side airbags which are held in by a relatively weak sewn in strip of material. The accessories seem to have that feature, a significant degree of inflation is evident already.
