See what our Experts say about this Yakima Camping Bathroom

  • How Hot Does Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower Water Get
    Hello No; the temperature strip for the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y79VR, # Y89VR, and # Y29VR ranges from 61 F - 118 F. However, it can reach temperatures even hotter depending on the intensity of the heat from the sun. The temperature for all three models will rise approximately 10-15 degrees per hour depending on your environment. You can assume that the water is 20-30 degrees warmer than the ambient temperature on a sunny day.

  • Replacement Shrader Valve for Yakima RoadShower
    Yes, we do Larry. You'll need the Replacement Shrader Valve item # Y8881258. This is the replacement for one of the Yakima RoadShowers like item # Y29VR, item # Y79VR, or item # Y89VR. What do you have your RoadShower mounted on?

  • Various Sizes Of The Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower For Roof Racks
    The Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower for Roof Racks - 10 Gallon # Y29VR is the current 10 gallon road shower that Yakima offers and it is considered the Yakima RoadShower 10G. It is also available in 4 gallon # Y79VR and 7 gallon # Y89VR. These portable solar showers can be installed onto round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars with a crossbar spread of 24" - 50", however, the 10 gallon shower requires a crossbar spread of 32"-80". The tank absorbs the sunlight...

  • Will the Yakima RoadShower Fit on Subaru Factory Crossbars on 2021 Outback Wagon
    Yes. You can mount the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower for Roof Racks - 4 Gallon # Y79VR to the factory crossbars on your 2021 Subaru Outback. The RoadShower tank is 6-1/8" wide, so you'll need roughly that much bar space inside the raised side rails in order to mount this unit.

  • Can The Yakima SkinyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Fit On Thule Crossbars
    Hey Rob, Yes, the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07014 would be compatible with your Thule crossbars. Depending on the length of your crossbars and the size of the bike rack you would be able to mount the roof basket (23" wide), bike rack, and RoadShower # Y79VR (6-1/8" wide).

  • How To Fill The Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y79VR with Water
    There are 2 ways to fill the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y79VR with water. If you have a pressurized water source you can use the included quick connect to attach a hose allowing you to fill the tank from the same port you attach the water sprayer hose. You can also remove the check valve/cap from the top the unit to be able to fill the tank. This is the preferred route to use if you do not have a pressurized water source. As it is on top of the tank it may be difficult to...

  • Does Yakima Roadshower Fit Thule Crossbars
    The Yakima Roadshower part # Y79VR that you referenced does fit Thule roof rack crossbars.

  • Availability of Used Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower for Roof Racks
    We carry 3 options for the Yakima RoadShower. We have the 4 Gallon # Y79VR, the 7 Gallon # Y89VR, and the 10 Gallon # Y29VR. There are times we have a "used" item that has either been cosmetically damaged in shipping or has been used for one of our videos. When that is the case it is listed on the main product page stating there is a used item available and there is a link to photos and specific price for that "used" unit. The discounted items normally don't last long on our site.

  • Do I Need Wider Crossbars for Accessories and a Roof Top Tent on a Yakima Ladder Rack?
    I highly recommend using the 68" crossbar version of the Yakima Overhaul Ladder rack item # Y01151-58 with a iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini Roof Top Tent. The dimensions of that tent are 55.1 x 57.5 x 13.0" which will not give you enough room on either side for the 10 Gallon Yakima RoadShower item # Y29VR. We also have 7 Gallon item # Y89VR and a 4 Gallon item # Y79VR option. I recommend using the FlexHead Shower Head item # Y04104 so you don't have to shower with a garden hose attachment....

  • Can Road Shower be Mounted Across Roof Rails of 2020 Subaru Forester
    The Yakima RoadShower # Y79VR should not be mounted across the roof rails of your 2020 Subaru Forester. Manufacturer roof rails aren't designed to carry the brunt of loads the way roof racks are, and it would be very difficult to use the RoadShower with it oriented that way. So you will need a roof rack for your 2020 Subaru Forester: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (Black) - TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR - Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204 This will...

  • Can The Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower Attach To The Pioneer Platform Rack
    Hello Ruben, Yes, The Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y79VR can attach to your Pioneer Platform Rack but you will need to install Accessory Bars for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platforms - 24" Long - Qty 2 # RR33AP onto the Pioneer platform so the shower has something to attach to. I also recommend The FlexHead Shower Head # Y04104 which will give you hands-free showering with the positionable shower head. I attached a review video link below.

  • Difference of Font Color on Yakima Roadshower Portable Shower
    The color difference between the Yakima Roadshowers is related to the size but does not signify really anything else. The 4 gallon # Y04104 and # Y79VR has white writing and the 7 gallon # Y89VR and 10 gallon # Y29VR has blue writing.

  • Can Yakima RoadShower Attach to Malone Aero Crossbars
    Hey Brett, so the Yakima RoadShowers like the part # Y79VR that you referenced do not have T-slot mounting hardware so you'd have to use the hardware that comes with it that was designed to clamp around aero bars like the Malone # MPG215.

  • Does Yakima RoadShower Fit Angry Elephant Rack System
    Yes, it sure does; the Yakima RoadShower will indeed fit the 3" x 1-1/2" crossbars of your Angry Elephant rack system. There are three different sizes to choose from, and all of them will fit your rack system: - 4 Gallon: Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y79VR - 7 Gallon: Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y89VR - 10 Gallon: Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower # Y29VR The RoadShower has brackets on the bottom that slide to fit different crossbar spreads, and will...
