Shower powered using air compressor?

[ajmriv]

We live fairly close to the beach and when we are done with the day we always like to rinse off feet etc before jumping into the R1S. We usually lug a couple of gallon jugs of water with us to do this. (And yes, I know, chill out, it's an adventure vehicle. But I hate sand in seats, floor mats? etc)

I know they sell camping showers e.g. like this, dirt cheap https://goo.by/VtLXAn but I am interested in something that I can connect the air compressor up to at a limited pressure ~30 psi. Has anyone seen anything commercially available that would work? (I realize they also sell things like this which are glorified weed sprayers https://a.co/d/54bsSGf)

My current thought is to buy something along the lines of a 5 gallon rigid water carrier, shower line/head, compressor connector and try and MacGruber it all together while not trying to explode a 5 gallon water carrier in the back of my R1S!! Has anyone done anything similar or has anyone seen anything out there that would fit the bill?

Waterport weekender works great for me.
Pressurizes when you fill it but you can hook add more pressure when water level is low.

Yakima Road shower is a good option, I have had them on a couple vehicles.

I use a Klymit Waterport 4.0 gallon while camping and plan to use the Rivian air compressor to keep it pressurized. I like it because it’s very durable and is food grade safe in case you want to drink the water. It’s expensive-ish but it goes on sale at Costco very often.

There are two projects here that might work for you. One is in production, one in design.

I use a solar shower bag when I go Scuba diving. Just let it sit on the roof and it's warm when I get back. Gravity is plenty of pressure. I guess another cheap option would be a Hudson sprayer. I wouldn't bother with a pressurized unit off the air compressor.

I have his shower now, can vouch, game changer.
