Advantages of mobile designs

If you doubt the feasibility of using such options, check out what advantages their use gives:

Budget	The price of even the most high-tech options is incomparable with the cost of building the simplest structures, and if we consider the simplest products, they simply have no alternative.
Simplicity	Instructions for using the structures are so easy that you need only a few minutes to figure out how to use the system.
Compactness	Some versions of products fit literally in your pocket, others in the folded state also take up little space, as they are intended for hiking conditions.
Autonomy	None of the modifications in question require an electrical network or plumbing. Some systems are powered by car cigarette lighter, which is also convenient

Note! Another big plus of such decisions is the speed of preparation of the structure for use, which is important when you are very tired during the day.

The Road Shower company offered a very unusual and interesting solution - the tank is fixed on the roof of the car and is heated from the sun as it moves, the design does not take up space in the car, which is very important

Overview of the main options

There are several main types of products, each of which has its own advantages, we consider the most popular of them today.

Compact walking shower

The main advantages of this species are as follows:

The assembled system takes up minimal space and weighs no more than a chocolate bar or a pack of cookies.
The design consists of the capacity bag made of the rubberized fabric and a tube with a small watering can on the end. The capacity of the system is usually 20 liters, which is enough for two or three people.
If you are in the country, you can get water in the morning and hang the system in the sun, in the evening the liquid will heat up and you will take a warm shower instead of a cold one.

Note! When choosing such a product, special attention should be paid to the material used to make the bag, it must be very dense and elastic, there are often low-quality variants in which the fabric is thin and wears off very quickly and begins to leak.

Shower toptun

Another name for this option is a step-shower, and it has the following distinguishing features:

The system works as follows: the supply hose is lowered into a container with water or a body of water; you stand on special pads or an improvised scaffold and click on the structure. This creates a vacuum in the system and supplies water to the rain. While you press - the fluid flows.
The structure consists of a pressure block, a suction tube and a watering can on a flexible hose. It is important that all elements are made of high-quality and durable materials.

Simple, but very convenient and effective design for taking a shower

Constructions for cars

There may be several options, one of them, located on the roof, we have discussed above.

Now let's talk about some other options, the first of which is a rechargeable shower pump:

Simple and convenient system for those who drive

Its main advantage is its small size.
The system is charged from the vehicle's cigarette lighter, after which the charge is enough to pump a few dozen liters of water.
Reusable battery allows you to charge the system during transfers, which saves time.

Car showers have the following features:

Work is carried out from the vehicle's cigarette lighter.
One hose is lowered into a container with water, on the second there is a watering can, just turn on the system and you can take a shower. In order to avoid discharging the battery, it is better that the engine is running.

Autonomous systems

This option is the most convenient and functional, although it takes up the most space:

The design may consist of a gas burner, which is also used for cooking, and a pump that runs on four batteries.. This option can be used even in the absence of any communications and enjoy warm water. The assembled design weighs only a couple of kilograms, which allows it to be used as the main option in long hikes.
Another type of such products, which appeared relatively recently - heating blocks, operating from a battery or a car system with a voltage of 12 Volts.. The advantage of this solution is convenience: you pour water into a container, and it quickly heats up to the set temperature.

If there was a situation when you lost sight of this question, then you can build a temporary version with your own hands:

To do this, you need a plastic bottle into which you can pour water, and make holes in the cork, but not at the bottom, but at the side, then when you unscrew, you will receive a full rain, under which you can wash.
