Yakima RoadShower Portable Aluminum Pressurized Water Storage with Garden Hose Adapter and 2 Outlet Water Ports

I own a long bed Tacoma for work and have installed a Thule rack on it. The 4 and 7-gallon tubes didn't fit my rack, so I chose the 10-gallon option. The 84" tube was smaller than I expected, but it fit between my rescue equipment without any problems. The installation was straightforward - just slide the bolts down and fasten the nuts to secure. The brackets have foam on them, providing a secure fit. The hose that comes with it is of great quality, although it's a bit stiff. The quick connection is easy and works great.A little piece of advice - don't fill it up all the way. Leave some room for air, as it will increase the lasting power of the PSI. I made the mistake of filling it all the way and ended up getting soaked when the water shot about 10ft in the air once it was done with me.Overall, it's a great purchase and very well built.

I camp / overland extensively and I remember when the road shower hit the market a few years ago. I really liked the concept, but the price was too high. I attempted to build a PVC copy, but at the end of the day all it did was store water. I purchased at least two shower bags over the years which worked OK. I just returned from a remote backcountry trip from the North Rim Grand Canyon where we used the shower bag. Again it was OK, it did the job. After I had a signal I ordered the Yakima Roadshower 7 gallon. I received it today, inspected it, and installed it. I was very impressed with the quality of the roadshower!!!! I filled it with water, pressurized it and I was shocked at how well it worked. This is a lesson that I unfortunately have to learn over and over again, I should have bought it earlier and not wasted time or money on a PVC copy or shower bags. Bottom line, I am very happy with the purchase, I wish I had it on this last trip. Just buy it, it is worth it.

Great design, sturdiness and functional for off-roading. I installed the tank onto a Rhino Rack Pioneer Rack with Maximus setup next to a iKamper Mini 2.0 RTT. (2018 JL Rubicon 4 door). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a bracket to use so I made my own. I used 14" Mending Straps, from Amazon. For stability I used a total of 8 straps, custom bent by hand. The straps are held in place using bolts inside the accessory railing on the RR. For added safety, I placed two black 1/2 nylon tie downs (They blend in) around the tank and attached to the RR. I've used the tank a couple of times and was pleased with how well it kept the water warm. Give it a try! The tank is also mountable in other locations, see the website. The tank and setup works for me.

No complaints seems like real quality.

After pressurizing this, I noticed a pinhole leak in the tank. Yakima, though it is in the warranty window, refused to help me replace it. Klymit keeps sending me to Yakima. I am stuck with a defective product. Avoid this purchase.

I really wanted to love this thing, but it fell short and I suppose the easiest thing to do would've been to find a better fitments, but that's unacceptable for the price you're paying.Firstly, it's built like a tank. Very dense aluminum and a gnarly powder coat.Secondly, it has two different mounting options to suit your needs.HOWEVER, the hose and the valve attachment were poor quality.The hose is poorly crimped and leaks at the coupling fitment, but to make matters worse, it's all likely due to the valve. Where the valve connects to the tank, you can either leave the valve pointing downward (as in the pictures) but still loose enough to hand-turn a full 180° to the stop where the male thread at the hose end points UPWARD. If you tighten it to the stop, the upward facing thread causes the hose to fail and leak once pressurized. If you shut the valve off, you'll stop the leak great.... But when you need it, everything gets wet and you lose water faster than you realize. 4gallons went super quick for me under these circumstances and so that was the deal breaker for me.

I can’t wait to use it I just got assembling and put on the top of my car looks nice and everything seems working, but still empty until my next camping

We received the water tank today and installed it though did not have time to use it. Our first impression is that this is a 2-3 star item for this price of around $500 dollars. Way too expensive for the cheap accessories that comes with it. First the shower threads are bad, and then the tank does not have that welded loop on each corner that you see on videos and good for securing the tank against possible thieves. Instead they invented a “key system” that after use it twice the key broke inside the lock. Everything on this item is cheap, and the tank itself seems good enough, but no more than a quarter of the price it is offered. We are going to keep it as we were waiting for it and came late, but will need to upgrade it and buy a better quality accessories (hose, clamps, adapters, shower head, etc).Update: We measured it and it takes close to 6.5 gallons (not 7). Installed new hardware and filled it up. The tank worked as it suppose to do and the relief valve also. We found no paint in the side of water tank, up close to the collar and threads; so this may have been returned before.
