Great review, and thank you for making this video. To reduce the sloshing, put a bunch of bath scrubbies in the tank. yes, it'll take up a little bit of volume , but the scrubbies will absorb the energy of the sloshing. I'd use this technique only if I did not intend to drink the water.
Hi love the video just received mine and mounted it! I used those plastic clamps for the roof rack and they just seem cheap to me seems like it’s held snug but not sure if I trust it with water in. Did you change yours for a beefier one and if so which or did you always use the plastic? Thanks
So I have been running mine for a while with no problem. The mounting is aluminum and I’m hoping that it is mounted through the plastic. Either way I haven’t had any issues.
I think that they are completely different uses. The geyser is an amazing and efficient hot shower. The rack shower I feel is more utility to rinse of gear and clean things up. You definitely could shower with the rinse kit if you get the heater but I won’t shower with cold water unless I have to. IMHO.
hey, first of all thanks again for all your info that we find on your channel. currently building my new set up i go threw most of your video before buying my gear. thanks . Now living up north of Canada i wonder if the batterie would handle the cold ... is this something you test with the electric rinse kit ?? also since you post have you try the instant hot water from rinse kit ? thx
You are so welcome and glad and I can help. This past winter I pulled it off the rig and put it inside to not destroy the pump if it froze. My theory with that is if it’s so cold that I can’t charge the battery more than likely all the water would be frozen also so what is the point of having it. The whole dealing with freezing water thing is very new to me so I’m still figuring out systems to combat. Hope this helps.
Love these reveiws Kelley. I’ve always considered the roadshowers but after seeing this, I think this might be the way. What’s the weight dry and full? The LC looks amazing btw! 🤙
Thank you so much. No I have been through my EcoFlow River battery pack up on the roof with a usb cable and charging it that way. No need to remove the battery. It’s awesome.
@@AdventureBuilt Thank you for taking the time to answer back. Really appreciate you! Just waiting for a REI 20% coupon or Geyser Systems 20% off to pull the trigger on the heated version.
Oh, one more question that I haven't been able to find anywhere on the internets: Once the temp is reached on the heated model and it shuts off....will it turn back on at some point once the water cools to keep the water heated? I only ask because I could see filling this up on a lunch stop and then kicking the heat on while I drive so when I get to my camp spot I have a warm shower waiting...
Unfortunately I don’t have any hands on experience with the Ironman. I have only talked to them about it, never actually used it so unfortunately I can’t speak to the functionality of it.
What makes aluminum better than plastic? The Rack Shower is better in every way, design, looks, mounting, functionality, storage, filling! Do a side by side test and I’m certain you will agree with me!
@@AdventureBuilt looks? They look the same. Couple grooves. Filling is exactly the same, and it’s plastic. It won’t warm, nearly as quick or as hot as aluminum. Aluminum is going to last longer. The only difference is is the heating ability but you have to buy a $400 heating box and figure out where to fit that in your vehicle. I’ve seen a side by side, why I went with the Yakima. Durability, and the length of the hose doesn’t matter because they’re all the same quick detachments. Only PLUS is it’s chargeable rather air compression. Slosh, fill it up all the way.
Nice to see the Land Cruiser👌
As a person who enjoys "aesthetics" I understand wanting to enjoy how something looks.

Thanks for this video! 👍🏼 Between the Geyser shower and the Rinsekit rack shower which one you prefer and why?
I think that they are completely different uses. The geyser is an amazing and efficient hot shower. The rack shower I feel is more utility to rinse of gear and clean things up. You definitely could shower with the rinse kit if you get the heater but I won’t shower with cold water unless I have to. IMHO.
I got mine on the black Friday sale and think I got 20% off. They also have the cube system now that is a bit smaller and less money. Good review.
Thank you so much.

Great video.
I want to buy one. I just have one doubt.
What is the maximum separation of the hooks for the roof bar?
Thank you so much. The mounts on the bottom of the rack shower are adjustable to full length of the rack shower itself. It is very adjustable.
Love these reveiws Kelley. I’ve always considered the roadshowers but after seeing this, I think this might be the way. What’s the weight dry and full?
The LC looks amazing btw! 🤙
Thank you so very much. I’m sure of the exact weight empty but I would guess 15 pounds. Then obviously water weight you add to it.
Hi Kelly, great video, do you still have your Tacoma..?
I sure do, just got back from a Moab trip where I dented it up pretty good, again!!!
How do you check the quantity level? I’m using the finger over the plastic straw method 😊
There is an electric gauge on the display. It should tell you the water level. Hope this helps.
Nice review. Do you have to remove the entire tank to charge the battery?
Thank you so much. No I have been through my EcoFlow River battery pack up on the roof with a usb cable and charging it that way. No need to remove the battery. It’s awesome.
How do you remove battery to charge @AdventureBuilt
Saw your review of the Geyser System shower.... do you ever still use it?
I definitely do. The geyser is my go to shower. The simplicity and ease of use are champion.

please give your opinion of the very same item released by ironman 4x4 (which also includes the pump)
Unfortunately I don’t have any hands on experience with the Ironman. I have only talked to them about it, never actually used it so unfortunately I can’t speak to the functionality of it.
Can it be mounted on the side of the rack?
I’m pretty sure it can if you have enough room. There is L Track on all 3 sides. Should be easy.
Still enjoying the product ?
Absolutely, it is so convenient to use, mostly for washing off muddy mountain bikes!
Yakima still stands as #1 bc it’s not plastic.
It’s not a pain in the butt. lol. Aluminum is better. Period. It’s plastic.
