    Pretty much the same thing as MRGRIMS pressurized water can. Minus the solar heater. I just did this to my scepter style water can. Just heated up with your OBA of your choice and BAM... shower

    That and they're rated for 30 max per circuit. Run it through a decent circuit breaker right off the battery. If you're determined to use fuses, make sure you have a couple of extras in case they blow. This is why I went to a breaker, mine has blown fuses before.

    [​IMG]

    Just remember. 2 3" pipes is goign to be about half the capacity of a single 6 inch.

    Use a black can or spray it black and now it's a solar water heater too.

    I'll be heading out on a trip again in a few weeks(moab). I'm going to try and pack light. Last couple trips ivd ended up with a big heavy load in the box and riding on my non-existent bumpstops. I just packed up my recovery gear so I'll have more space in the cab. Gonna bring my blanket and a pillow, some extra parts and fuel. Also probably just one cooler.

    Yeah I have a few more things to take care of with the wiring before I loom it. I'll get to it eventually.

    I don't know where you have the compressor mounted, mine is in the bed. ARB told me to run 4 gauge wire with a 100 AMP inline fuse as close to the battery as possible. Leave in the 2 40 AMP fuses. I ran the ground to the frame. I did run the power through a 600 AMP Blue Sea switch (also ran my winch through the same switch). Only turn on the switch when I need to run the winch or compressor. Everything works great.

    It works best for heating water quickly as aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat. We primarily use it as designed to rinse kids and gear off after the beach.

    In hot (+95°) sunny weather the road shower can get too hot to shower with and one must wait for it to cool or mix cold water in.

    In general I'm not a big fan of vehicle mounted showers.

    What I do mostly now is unscrew the sprayer from the road shower and bulk transfer the warm/hot water into a Nemo Helio pressure shower and move that wherever I want to.

    Hope this helps.
