You can make your own. buy a 2 gal. pump garden sprayer for about 20 bucks, take the wand off attach a garden nozzle on the end of the hose. Cheap, simple, and sturdy.
The USB option seems to be the perfect solution. Power can come from solar panels i would imagine. Also with a metal bucket water can be boiled to get as hot as you'd ever want it. Can different shower heads be attached to the USB shower option? I'd like to be able to control the flow at the head.
The cheap solar shower bags were on sale at 2 for $9.95 in our local Anaconda, so I bought 10. I have seen them on sale as low as $4.00 each in Anaconda. We can solar heat up to 200L for the ensuite 12v shower system powered from our solar charged 1987 Cub Camp-O-Matic Offroad 380 camper trailer. Any empty bags are filled with the same 12v shower pump from a creek in the morning. I had a thought of joining 3 bags together with hose T pieces connected to just 1 nozzle for increased capacity and pressure without using any 12v power. Regards, Jas. VK4FJGS
Depending on the height and the source of the water we wouldn’t bother cleaning it for a shower. In the highlands I imagine it’s probably safer than what comes out of the tap.
Good video! I was wondering if there is a name for that very thin curtain that you used on the Hula Hoop portion of your video. I want to do exactly that but the curtain choices I am finding seem much thicker. Thanks in advance. Alan
Hi Alan, glad you found it useful! The curtain on the hula hoop was just a cheap shower curtain from B&M bargains / Home Bargains (sorry I can't remember which) for this use I have found the cheaper ones to be better as they dry quickly as they are plastic rather than fabric, thin and light.
I would think so yes, if the panel gives a USB 5v output then it should. The size of the panel and the strength of the sun would vary the amount of time it would take to charge.
You literally addressed each of my concerns with how to choose the correct cs for me. Thank you! You're the only video I have come across that did so.
Thanks! Really glad it was helpful!
Best most informative video i've seen on this stuff yet

Yes the shower attachment is a standard thread so I don't think you would have any problem finding a variable type that would fit.

Can the USB shower be charged using a small solar panel?
I would think so yes, if the panel gives a USB 5v output then it should. The size of the panel and the strength of the sun would vary the amount of time it would take to charge.
Great video
