Yakima RoadShower

The tank is designed to absorb solar energy throughout the day, naturally warming the water inside. While it works best in direct sunlight, the time it takes to heat up depends on the ambient temperature and the intensity of the sun.

Yes. You can pressurize the system using a standard tire pump or an electric compressor via the integrated air valve. This makes it easy to get a consistent water stream even when you are far away from a water spigot.

The RoadShower includes universal mounting hardware designed to attach to most factory and aftermarket roof rack crossbars. It is a secure, low-profile mount, but you should verify your crossbar weight capacity to ensure it can support the tank when filled with water.

The system has a maximum pressure of 55 psi. To ensure safety, it features an integrated pressure relief valve that automatically vents excess pressure if the tank gets too hot or is over-pressurized.

The empty unit weighs 20.3 lbs, but you must account for the water weight. Since water weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon, a full 10-gallon tank will add roughly 103 lbs to your roof, so always check your vehicle's roof load limit before filling it.

The RoadShower is intended for utility use, such as washing gear, rinsing off, or cleaning dishes. It is not certified for potable water storage, so it is best to keep a separate supply for drinking and cooking.
