Paint the can black and set it out in the sunlight full and in the evening have a warm shower. Great build.

I’ve lived off-grid the last two years while I build my house. Also, I’m self employed and drive my truck w/an Alu Cab camper on the back all over the country for about 4-6 months each year. At home & on the road I’ve been using a 2 gallon plastic weed sprayer that works by hand pumping to pressurize the canister. I just heat up some water, pump it about 8-9 times, and I’ve got a great shower, hot or cool as I want it. I’ve got a little pack on it like the example in this video, and it holds a razor, soap, everything I might need while taking a shower. I’m able to use it right next to the truck, take it down to a stream, wherever. I love it. I’ve used the current one for 2 years. I leave it outside when I’m at home. Abused it. For $30, and as bulletproof as it’s been, I can’t imagine changing things up. Not to dog on this build, because it’s a great idea, but the fewer parts the better, in my opinion. YMMV! 👍🏼🙏🏼

I can tell the different channels you got your ideas from. I too used the exact same parts, except the bag. I love the storage bag. I chose to use the cap for all my through holes. The wiring grommet I just pipe tapped the plastic and screwed in the grommet. I secured it with a small drop of epoxy, but if you're worried about chemicals in the water you could also use a dab of plumbing safe silicone sealant. I chose to only modify the cap because the cap can be replaced by purchasing it separately if I want to make changes, or I want to quickly convert it back to a simple water tank without the pump system.
Nicely done. Love all your builds.

I’ve tried several variations of this water tank, from a Schrader valve with a hand pump to electric air pump. I went this route but chose to run the electrical wiring through the lid with a 2 way switch. I preferred it is way so I can unscrew the lid and everything pulls out at once. When I have to fill it up with water it was easier for me since I carry it from the campsite to the provide water source. With the 5.2gpm pump it would spray 24’ and took ~3 minutes to empty tank. Thanks for the help!

Great build but if you used a black Gerry can you could have a warm shower from leaving it in the sun. Greetings from New Zealand

Good build, the only thing I would do differently if I made one would be to run the wires through the cap too, no extra holes in the can, and could restore to normal with a new cap.

I like your spin on it with the attached bag. I built one of these a while back; do yourself a favor and ditch that battery pack. I've already gone through three of them. They don't last very long and are very temperamental. I upgraded to one of the emergency jumpstart booster packs and get a lot more voltage and hence a lot better flow, they last longer and are very rugged.

I'm not crazy about the idea of running the wire out of the back, but I also use a lot more water when I use this setup. I like having everything built into the lid so that you can just move the pump to another jerry can when one runs dry.
Excellent tutorial, keep up the good work. ✌🏻

Swapping the male to male fitting with a quick disconnect would make it much easier/faster to set up/break down. Also plumbing a clear tubing with 90° fittings on the tank from top to bottom would allow you to see the fluid level before you run out of water.

This by far seems to be the best camp shower 🚿 and or water 💦 supply. Great detailed video! Great skills and creativity and craftsmanship!! Thank you! 👍💡👌👏👏

On doing a bunch of testing, you are losing a ton of pressure by using the expandable hose. Switch to a short normal one and you will gain about 3x the pressure.

Every build I have seen using the pump inside the secptor water can, they always use the JB weld Plastic adhesive to glue the bulkhead adapter to the cap for the water can. RTV, Silicone, all other rubber type sealants leak at the cap. The JB Weld plastic adhesive is the only thing that doesn’t leak.
Just some food for thought

You're right, similiar to others But your lil changes do make it look alot cleaner finish And Practical. Great Job

[dirt_mondo]

I’ve never seen someone try to build something from scratch and get so lucky at every turn, you just win scratch offs allot lol

[georgewelford]

I beach fished a lot. When my girls were younger I put an RV tank with a pump in the truck. No more sand in the pants, no more can we go home now LOL.

I've held off on getting those quick disconnects for a few years because the descriptions were lackluster. If I knew they were both valved and no spill I'd have done it to begin with. I'm a trucker and I use 2 scepter cans interchangeably for water, and a marine 12v pump. Currently I just put a length of 3/8 id flexible hose through the spout and found a hose with a 5/8 od which seals perfectly to the spout with a regular o-ring. This will be so much easier.

[JustRideFun]

I’m going to use this for the Sink and a second one for the shower.

Nice.
Simple. Clean. And Works !

Great introduction, well built...
Scepter water can comes in black as well, great for warming the shower water in the sun...

[maggots]

Great setup. Using an expanding hose will cause loss of pressure since it's trying to inflate the hose. Try a different hose and am sure you will see the pressure go up.

I saved myself a lot of trouble and just bought the Hart Rinser Kit. Uses the same batteries as some of my tools, so it made more sense.
