hot showers on the road

Hi Phil
I have a glind brand set up in a camera hard case. One of those silver cases. At the ends of the heating hose I have hydraulic ball valves. I also have the same ball valves on one of the heater hoses. When its time for a shower, just connect the ball valves together, start and run the car till its hot and have a hot shower. You can set them up on the car but it works just as well for me in the case. I had a prado and there just wasn't enough room under the bonnet so now I have my 80 series I have just left it the same.

I have a twine that I haven;t gotten around to installing yet, I probably won't either as we bought a Coleman Hot Water on Demand, we love it.

Hot shower ? Why? In remote areas you'll all smell the same after a few days LOL
Of course if SWMBO travels with you it's a whole different ball of wax !

Have a Piranha set up on the Nissan, similar to the Twine. The Missus loves it!

Can draw from the camper trailer water tank, a bucket or twenty litre drum. I have used the shower pump to lift from a river/creek into a drum then taken it back to camp.

Go for a swim at the local pool. Shower off the chlorine, and hit the road refreshed!

Cheapest option if you are in the outback is a battery operated hand shower drawing up from a bucket of warm water.

Visit distant relatives.

Buy a $20 12v electric shower from Jaycar or a camping store. It has a submersible pump, a hose and a continental shower rose. Dump it into a bucket of warm water, and you're in business. Either warm the water on the fire, or empty a solar shower into the bucket. Shower tent optional.
They don't last forever (I'm on my third one in 15 years, pretty poor, really ;-) but for $20, they're great.

Some towns provide free showers for tourists, some servos have showers for a few dollars, and some caravan parks charge a few dollars for showers for those not staying. Cost usually $3 - $5 per shower, unlimited hot water and time.

Heat water on the fire or gas then use a canvas shower bag with a pop tent. Car floor mats to stand on.

Get a bucket with a decent amount of rope on it. Fill as needed !
Grab one of those solar hot water bags. Fill as required !
Find something to hang solar bag up on. For women, get a screen. !
Wash as often as you find 1/2 clean water. I say 1/2 clean, because most of the time, that is all you gunna get.
No need for the fancy expensive stuff.
If in remote places, never wash in drinking water, save it to drink, and go without showering, it may someday save your life !.

Baby wipes, make a good substitute shower.

I've got a Twine and cannot say enough about it BUT all the suggestions above work and are good, it comes dwon to personal preference. An under bonnet arrangement is quick and easy to setup and use with endless hot water on tap if you keep the water supply up to it. If your happy to heat your own water the $20.00 jobs work just as well.
