I use the Hudson sprayer for "running water" in camp. It works really well. Do not remember who I got the idea from though.

The first one I saw was NY Tom about 6 yrs ago . Now I see them all the time.

Here's a variation on the idea. I (think I) want one.

RLF-S - Pump-up Solar Shower

Fill it with water, put it in the sun, pump it up and you have a wonderful shower for the cockpit of your boat or anywhere you camp or cruise.

Sandra and I had these custom made by the folks at RL Flowmaster. We developed the idea after boating and camping for years with cheap gravity fed solar showers. One day we thought, why not a pump-up shower? So we went to Home Depot and bought a hand held sprayer like you see on kitchen sinks and a pump-up type bug sprayer. The latter came with a misting head that is no good for showers, but the kitchen sprayer had a spring loaded valve and the perfect spray pattern. We then married the two together and found we had created the perfect solar shower.

After using this shower for a while we decided to approach some of the sprayer manufacturers about putting such an item on the market. In our research, we discovered that RL Flowmaster had a suitable shower head and black two gallon pump-up tanks but had not wed the two. In talking to them we found that they would be happy to do so for us in an exclusive deal. So you will find these amazing showers no where but here at Duckworks.

We got one of these at the end of last years season; haven't used it yet. I have only tested it with cold water and it works as advertised. We need to place it in some real sunlight to see how well it heats up though. It does look to be of good quality and value for $39.95.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the tip, Steve and Dave. I went right to the Duckworks site and ordered one!
It was just what I had been thinking about for those long stays at campgrounds that don't have showers.

Good idea, but be sure not to mix it up with your Hudson filled with pest-killer. I used to take a Hudson with me to drag races, to spray down my radiator during hot-lap quick-succession final rounds >>> the routine: fill the gas tank-5 gal. max, quick charge the batteries-2, w/no alternator, spray the radiator while running the electric radiator fans-to cool it down to normal starting line temps (repeatability from round-to-round). Well anyway, as I grabbed the sprayer and started cooling the radiator, I detected a difference from plain tap water...it was bug killer. Still used it anyway, got back in the car, and won the final that day. Maybe the bug spray helped ward off those pesky Fords!, that always gave me trouble. Be sure to label your Hudson Sprayers!

I painted mine black to absorb the solar rays, like the commercial one above, only you can put it on your stove.

we have the duckworks sprayer, it works just fine for a shower, the solar heating takes direct sun and a few hours, we heat our water over the fire usually
