This tank is amazing and lots of water to clean of mud/sand. Had some shipping issues due to the distance traveled for the package. I would recommend that Yakima add one extra bolt/washer/nut combo of each size. Our package didn't come with all appropriate hardware. Also, if you decide on the 10' long tank, the hose is a bit short to be completely contained by the Velcro at the sprayer end.

The road shower concept is still a great thing for cleaning off sanddirt. After a year of use I have some quirks to explain... 1. The nozzle threaded ball valve hole is too small to get all of the water out as the pressure diminishes. 2. I have the 10 gallon model and the hose length does not fit properly to match the clampvelcro holder that is a part of the tank. 3. the bike tube air valve cap corrodes easily in my environment and is extremely difficult to remove in order to pressurize the tank. 4. I have figured out If you want to let gravity pull out the remaining water the black larger cap must be removed in order to allow air to keep the water from self vacuuming itself in the tank. Overall, I still really enjoy having the water on my Yakima setup, just wish the capvalveshose were larger in size to match the tank.

Arrived quickly in perfect shape, easy to install, & a very high-quality product.

Awesome product. Use it for everything.
Great
to be able to reach up and grab a water hose for whatever. Wash off dishes, wash hands, spray mud from shoes, spray dust and dirt from my off road trailer it is attached to before opening and using it....and of course take that hot shower :-)



by:

A great idea but sadly has not worked well at all. Yakima tried to send us some new parts but they didn’t last. Basically it is full of water and will work for a couple quick showers (we use it after surfing) and then it just blows out air even though it still has plenty of water in the tank. Hoping we can get one that works at some point and still talking to Yakima (a year later) to try and get new replacement parts.



by:

You cannot go wrong with this shower. Installation was a breeze. Be aware that if you side mount this unit there is a little more thought required as it was primarily designed to sit on top of a rack. My side installation went without a hitch and very little custom additions…



by:

I should have purchased this a long time ago. The Yakima Road shower comes in very useful when I need to wash off my dirty dog because he decided to roll around in the dirt on road trips. This will also be great when I need to wash off during camping trips. Installation was very simple but keep in mind you will need to purchase teflon tape to prevent water leaks from the hose fittings. Although you can remove it and transfer to another vehicle, this one will stay mounted on top of my Jeep. I like it so much I want to purchase another one for my truck! Directions say that you have to remove the road shower in order to drain the tank when not in use, well I came up with a solution so that I don’t have to remove the system. All you need is a long enough hose and you can siphon the water that’s left over after draining. The only request I would suggest is that this unit was lead free so that I can use it as a drinking water source. Overall this thing is amazing and fits our needs!



by:

it was leaking in the beginning but switched out the rubber seal and tightened down lil tighter and looks like it resolved issue but on the plus it came with locks which i didn’t think it did so this was a plus



by:

Game changer, I do a lot of camping and the RoadShower works! Fit perfectly on my 2019 Sienna minivan camper conversion, installed in 60 minutes.



by:

Use plumbers tape on the fittings. In sunny weather, it performs as advertised.

Fantastic just fantastic

  • What Prevents Algae From Growing in Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower
    Algae needs sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow so since the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y29VR doesn't let light in it can't grow in the main tank and since there won't be air in the semi transparent tube it can't grow. The best way to keep this clean is to not keep water in it when not in use. You shouldn't drink the water from this either.

  • Recommended Accessory Bars for Mounting a Shower on a Rhinorack Pioneer Platform
    The best way to attach accessories to the Rhinorack Pioneer Platform is to use the Rhino-Rack Accessory Bars for Pioneer Platform Rack item # RR43137B. These bars will allow you to mount the 10 Gallon Yakima RoadShower item # Y29VR to the top of your Excursion. The bars mount to the top of your Pioneer platform and run the width of the tray.

  • Do I Need Wider Crossbars for Accessories and a Roof Top Tent on a Yakima Ladder Rack?
    I highly recommend using the 68" crossbar version of the Yakima Overhaul Ladder rack item # Y01151-58 with a iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini Roof Top Tent. The dimensions of that tent are 55.1 x 57.5 x 13.0" which will not give you enough room on either side for the 10 Gallon Yakima RoadShower item # Y29VR. We also have 7 Gallon item # Y89VR and a 4 Gallon item # Y79VR option. I recommend using the FlexHead Shower Head item # Y04104 so you don't have to shower with a garden hose attachment....

  • Availability of Used Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower for Roof Racks
    We carry 3 options for the Yakima RoadShower. We have the 4 Gallon # Y79VR, the 7 Gallon # Y89VR, and the 10 Gallon # Y29VR. There are times we have a "used" item that has either been cosmetically damaged in shipping or has been used for one of our videos. When that is the case it is listed on the main product page stating there is a used item available and there is a link to photos and specific price for that "used" unit. The discounted items normally don't last long on our site.

  • Difference of Font Color on Yakima Roadshower Portable Shower
    The color difference between the Yakima Roadshowers is related to the size but does not signify really anything else. The 4 gallon # Y04104 and # Y79VR has white writing and the 7 gallon # Y89VR and 10 gallon # Y29VR has blue writing.

  • Will Yakima RoadShower Work With Yakima LockNLoad
    Yes, the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower part # Y29VR will work with the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Trays like part # Y05045. I confirmed this with Yakima as well. There are no extra parts needed.

  • How Hot Does Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower Water Get
    Hello No; the temperature strip for the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y79VR, # Y89VR, and # Y29VR ranges from 61 F - 118 F. However, it can reach temperatures even hotter depending on the intensity of the heat from the sun. The temperature for all three models will rise approximately 10-15 degrees per hour depending on your environment. You can assume that the water is 20-30 degrees warmer than the ambient temperature on a sunny day.

  • Will Yakima RoadShower 10 Fit On Thule CapRac Crossbars
    The Yakima RoadShower 10 part # Y29VR you referenced does fit the Thule CapRac part # TH29200XT that you referenced. The design has not changed significantly so what you saw would be accurate for this rack.
