We all know that should TSHTF, good hygiene is key to survival. But what if you're out on an extended camping trip... or you're stuck at your primary AO & a severe weather event causes an extended power outage... or any number of other reasons you may have, if you're gettin grubby, it's nice to have more options than a baby wipe & a bar of soap.
Front & center is an RV water pump, rated at 1.6 gallon per minute @ 30psi. Just to the right, a copper heat exchanger plumbed into the return heater hose. This is for temperature regulation via the cab heater. If the water is too hot, turn on the cab heat. If you want a cold shower or are using the system to transfer water from container to container, simply run the pump with the engine off.
Here a mockup shot in the driveway. The green hose in the blue water can is the source while the black hose is the working end. I have a sink sprayer on a hose barb that fits the black hose & when not in use the green hose is coiled up & stuffed next to the battery tray. Again, when not in use, the black hose tucks nicely next to the air box & it all fits under the hood.
Add a longer hose, a tarp for a curtain... maybe a pallet to stand on & you have OBS (On Board Shower)
