Truck Shower — What is that Smell?

September 4, 2017.

Nice hot showers. Love those.

Of course, when you’re out exploring the wilderness, showers can be few and far between. Often times that is fine — there are opportunities for hot springs, lakes, and creeks — any of which can make a great place for lathering up and taking care of some of the sweaty grime that can build up.

But sometimes it’d still be nice to have a warm shower. On our week-long trip running the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route, it turned out that the first 4 days of the trip presented no washing opportunities. And with temps hovering around 100°F, we were gross. And The Tour is coming.

Upon our return, I started looking for ways to make washing on the road possible. I figured someone else must have run into this same thing and come up with a workable solution. And I was right — but their solutions were “meh” and I wanted something better.

But I wanted this. So I built it.

Oh, and since I used the same air fitting quick connects as the on-board air, it’s easy to “blow dry out” the shower hose when we’re done showering. So win.
