Hi Brian,
I did anothet search for:
Brass Fitting 1/4 in x 1/4 in
this one came up:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-4-in-x-1-4-in-MIP-Lead-Free-Brass-Hose-Barb-Adapter-800119/300096726
will this one fit the hoze and nozzle I posted before?
Great vodeo
Righteous! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thank you so much I am gonna use this for my bus. With your permission I it ok if I plug your channel telling people I’ll subscribed to your channel to get idea?
I cant find the brass fitting on ebay
Ah ha
Thanks!!
There is a huge gap in the market for OFF GRID LIFE. I’m so tired of water bottle showers or bucket showers. This is extremely helpful for me living in San Diego’s high desert. It’s a relief on many levels especially considering the Summer heat. If you have any ideas on cooling let me know! Our small Arctic Chill “swamp cooler” attracted an ant colony so it wasn’t practical. I do have a small solar setup but the batteries struggle in the heat to keep a charge. Thusly, my fans are of no use… it’s about to be 114° and I need help. Lol.
Awesome thanks!!!
The best one I use is the 5 gallon water bag with hose.
So Awesome! Gonna try it!
love it! great video!
I’ve been looking at expensive gas heater systems which have pumps and pipes everywhere. Then I stumble across this and it’s so damn simple and cheap. Thank you.
Dope!!!
This also works great filled with cold water to cool you down when it’s hot out! Good job Brian!
I think I found the hose:

and nozzle you mentioned in the video no delivery for that one but found another nozzle:

The thing I’m missing is the brass fitting cant find it on the site. I used the the search box for brass fitting1/4" and the # but couldnt find it. Can you help? thanks
So, how long before you have to re-pump it? Can you actually get some real showering/dishes done or are you constantly pumping it?
Hello AVM. I’ve now watched eight youtube videos on camp shower systems and I like yours best; it’s the best Bang for Buck. Thanks for sharing it.
Super simple – thank you – I can see lots of uses for it. Terrific video.
It was informative and to the point great job on it
Hi, Brian. Great video and looks very simple. What do you think of using a coiled polyurethane air hose (like this one: https://www.harborfreight.com/14-in-x-25-ft-coiled-polyurethane-air-hose-61974.html) instead of the faucet hose? I"m thinking of cutting the hose on the sprayer shorter and that the coiled hose might make storage easier. It would probably take a double 1/4 inch barb to attach the two hoses and a 1/4 inch barb to male threaded fitting to attach the sprayer. Thanks! — Cody
LOL. There is a similar product on amazon selling for almost $100.
Greeting brother, wonderful presentation on the camp shower thank you for taking time to go over the information and part number. My son and I use our camp shower for after surfing sessions, and when we are camping. Again great job and thank you for all your help. I have been following you for a couple of years. Keep up the great adventures. Peace Rikky🏄

Thanks 🙏 for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent video! Thanks so much for all the details and where to find the parts.
Preparing for hurricane Dorian. I’m sure we’ll lose power which means we will have no water. I believe this will work great for a shower!!
Great tip!!
Anybody else living in their car here? Would love some tips thanks
I just did this for mountain bike trips. Also painted it flat black to take advantage of solar heating while out riding.
Well done I’m sold. 👍🏼
Nicely done….awesome idea.
Awesome
What a fantastic idea!! Thanks!!
👍🏾🙂🌟
Genius! Thanks so much!
That is an awesome shower idea. Thank you and God bless you.
Will a shower hose with a bidet sprayer also work? and do you know if I can buy the gold color connector on ebay?
I went to Home Depot today to try to buy the parts, but they didn’t have them. It looks like they’ve switched to Danco brand and neither the sprayer or the hose fittings are the same. They also didn’t have any of the brass 1/4" barbed – 1/4" MIP fittings either. Same story over at Lowe’s. However, I was able to find a hose with sprayer attached at Walmart for $10.97 and they had the same sprayer as the Home Depot model for about $2. less ($12.86). Hopefully some hardware store will have the brass fitting!
Also great easy build =YouTube :H2OT , pressurized van-top shower heater
Can’t believe that you use LOWES as an ad but mention Home Depot, not Lowes in your video…
Well done, informative
RATHER JUST BUY THE IVATION $25
Thank you, Brian.
