Road Shower Reviews 275

Had an issue with the inflation value and they took care of the issue immediately. I am very happy with the product.

Awesome product. Thought about building one, but didn't want the contamination from PVC on my skin our in my body if I need emergency water. Very easy to install, and use is a breeze. Very happy with our purchase.

Awesome product! Just a few small flaws make it less than 5 stars.
The clips that hold the hose to the side of the tank don't keep the hose secure. Had to pull over multiple times and re hook the hose to the tank, before I finally added additional velcro straps to secure.
Secondly, the hose clamps on the hose failed on the first use (at well below the max recommended pressure), and had to be replaced.

Updated: Within a few hours of my email, customer service and then the president of the company himself contacted me to remedy my unit's issues with several spare parts. I never requested any parts. Roadshower customer service clearly goes above and beyond expectations to satisfy their customers. I would recommend this company's product to anyone with no hesitation!

Important to note the issues I encountered were fixed easily enough at home with readily available materials and tools. Engineering and design are top notch; were never part of my complaint.

Apparently the defective parts are the result of the challenges shipping a unit of this size by UPS across the country. All issues I brought up, even teflon tape and lack of a hex wrench are being visited by Roadshower before the next batch ships to customers.

For the record, here are the issues encountered -- and remedied without question:
1. The extra brass hose valve was somehow crushed into an oval; would not screw into its fitting without a bit of hammering.
-- A new hose is being sent.
2. No hex wrench to remove the plug for purchased shower nozzle. I'm a cyclist so I had one handy after a bit of searching.
-- Hex wrenches to be included in future shipments batch.
3. One of the velcro hose straps installed on the tank was ripped nearly in half. It came apart before first use.
-- Two velcro straps are being sent with bigger washers and better screws which are included in the next batch going out.
4. The metal shower nozzle hose shipped with a permanent crimp.
-- A new hose is being sent.
5. One of the aluminum hose clips had screws that were loose and stripped (possibly from shipping).
-- Roadshower is sending better screws for this too.
6. Teflon plumbers tape was necessary to remedy normal dripping at the hose connectors.
-- Teflon tape will be included to new purchasers as well.

I can't say enough how happy I am with the superb customer service and prompt attention my email received.

Kudos and happy trails!

The shower works great, just as expected. Nothing like being able to rinse yourself off after a couple days on dirt trails. My only complaint is the mounting system. The steel carriage bolts and aluminum mounting track don’t work very well. I had my shower mounted securely to my Prinsu rack system but after 3 days of a 6 day off road trip the tank shifted forward, I assume by the water sloshing around. This caused the steel carriage bolts to strip the aluminum track under the tank. I had to secure my road shower with tie down straps until I got home and was able to order 2 more sets of mounting hardware from the company, which was $40. Now I have 4 sets of mounts instead of the two that’s provided. It seems very secure, as it did before but we’ll see if it comes loose again on my next trip.. this is a review for the Road Shower 4 / 7 gallon shower.

I love this thing! The hose attachment was squished upon shipping but I went to the hardware store and put a new end piece on it. It heats up fast and with the shower attachment it’s sweet. I’ve just rinsed off after mtn bike rides with the hose lately. It’ll burn you if it gets too hot! It’s the perfect set up for weekend expeditions. I love the fact I can fill it with my hose or pour in water from the top and pressurize with a pump. Such a great investment for weekend warriors!

Excellent product and it works perfectly!!!

This is an awesome addition to our disbursed camping experience. The only thing that would be good to measure is usage. However, over time I am sure we will be capable of estimating. We got six showers before needing a fill-up, five fairly quick showers and one where I washed my shoulder-length hair. A high quality simple functioning water system.

We love our road shower! Works great and very well built. Excellent customer service.

The Road Shower does what it is supposed to do. Fast shipping, mounts securely, great water pressure. It is perfect for our camping, mudrun, sandy beach life. The best part is that i dont have to worry about it warping or exploding from high pressure. I like having that peace of mind. Also, one of the connectors was bent during shipping and they immediately replaced with no questions asked.

I just installed the Road Shower (7 gal), filled it up and applied some air pressure. It tested very well so far and I look forward to trying it on the trail and see how well it heats. I ordered the shower attachment, installed the valves and quick connect. It works as advertised, at least in my driveway :). Installation is very simple and it comes with everything you need to install except for an allen wrench to remove the plug for the shower attachment. Top ratings from me and a very well designed product.

Built like a tank. The only improvement I can see would be a sight glass on the side so you could see how much water remains. Otherwise I'm really impressed with the quality. It's a little expensive compared to a hot water solar bag but way more convenient once installed. Would definitely recommend this if you do a lot f summer camping.

I'm only going to criticize for the company's sake. Your alloy is so soft that the installation bolts dig into the mounting channels. Especially because you provide nylon lock nuts. It'd be better off with lock washers or at least provide torque specs. It was a huge pain to change my install because the bolts were stuck in the mounting channels.

Excellent product and very helpful customer service!

Quick delivery, and great concept, but a little too cheaply made. It's obvious opening the the box that this comes from China with corners being cut. Several of the lock nuts jammed on the attachment bolts, with the bolts then spinning in the channel - forcing me to saw them off so I could start over. What should have been simple install turned into a hassle. Get your own bolts and nuts (not lock nuts) and use some loctite, or double nut it (and don't think about mounting it off the side channel - not off-road worthy). Also, the finish seems more like black spray paint than a good enamel or powder coat, so easily scratches. A bit disappointing, but I'll still be using it. I would have been happy to pay $50 more for better quality. It wouldn't take much to make this right.

So far I love this thing. I actually made my own version for my Jeep and use a compressor to create water pressure. For my current overland build (Chevy Colorado Diesel) I wanted something a little more durable and something that will hold air pressure better as I will be using a compressor on this system as well. I really love how the Roadshower holds air pressure and the many mounting options. I was a little bummed that they arent manufactured here in the US but other than that I am really pleased with it.

Yesterday I added water with a food grade hose. My house water pressurized it to 60 psi. Next day it still held pressure. I installed the shower attachment. Easy installation with a quick release coupling.
This product performs as described and intended. Excellent!

It would be great to have a third support bracket for the big one “without it being an extra $$$$$”. Also the hardware, ie screws and bolts are garbage. The unit it self does what it advertised to do. Don’t be cheap on the little things,,,

I haven't yet mounted the RoadShower to my van but I did test it out on a 70° day resting on a couple of saw horses. I filled it from the garden hose. The water was warm enough for a shower in about 2 hours. It was easy to pressurize with my tire inflator and with the shower head attachment, ran continuously for almost 6 minutes. The shower is well made and should last a long time. I'm looking forward to my next road trip to really try it out.
