New Camping Toy

I was in Christies camping yesterday and saw a new type of shower.

It looked like the base of a 15 litre stainless garden sprayer complete with pump handle, then in place of a flexible hose and wand was an extending stainless pole with a bent top and a normal shower rose. Beautifully put together and complete with a stick on temperature gauge (you know the type that changes colour).

A very tidy little unit. I was only in there to pick up a some guy rope fittings but the wallet muscle was starting to twitch until I saw the price - $399! Half the price of that new fridge I want - NO WAY!

Still the concept looks good and then I got to thinking. I've got this nice heavy blue plastic water container with the big screw off top complete with O-ring seal. Forget the pump, stick in a tubeless mag wheel valve, connect the hose and shower rose off a dead 12 volt shower, add hot water, 2 minutes with the compressor and away we go. No moving parts or pumps to break.

All the bits are in my junk box, so now I know what I am doing tomorrow. Playing with water tomorrow in Adelaide can't hurt either.

Cheers
