The ultimate rugged portable water/shower system for overlanding, van life, campers, surfing, and military. Scepter provides the most diverse transport options. This setup will give you a rugged scepter shower that can take abuse and stronger water pressure than most on the market.

*Option to buy: https://www.sandycats.com

Parts list:

5 Gallon Scepter BPA Free: https://amzn.to/3pGFmIR
Notes: Some imitation canisters are not BPA free. Recommend using Scepter.

Bulkhead: https://amzn.to/3nuvDTa
Notes: Use these specifically due to extreme durability

Quick Disconnect: https://amzn.to/3El6d16

12V pump (German made): https://amzn.to/3nCVl7T
Notes: We have done extensive testing with other pumps and find this one works best.

Weatherproof Grommets: https://amzn.to/2ZtXxWS
Notes: Size is 0.18”0.31”

3000mAh battery pack: https://amzn.to/3nytiGY
Notes: TalentCell also sells a 6000mAh pack. That is not recommended as we have had several units fail over time. We have not had failure with the 3000mAh pack. You can also use your jump starter (for stronger pumping strength) if it has appropriate input (see YouTube video).

HoseCoil: https://amzn.to/3vTqB6D
Notes: You can use any hose you want. This one is most convenient for me.

Garden Hose Nozzle: https://amzn.to/2Zut0Jf
Notes: We have tested various garden hoses and found this one produces the appropriate pressure.

3/8 Vinyl Tubing: https://amzn.to/3CoLjh4
Notes: Food Grade

Hose Clamps: https://amzn.to/3jERHtd
Notes: size 1016mm. You only need 3.

Velcro: https://amzn.to/3jJLps8
Notes: Extreme duty

2.1mm x 5.5mm pigtails: I used these in the video: https://amzn.to/3mn6lHc
Notes: These required a lot of heat shrink to strengthen cable. I would recommend these instead now (haven’t personally tested yet): https://amzn.to/3jJMro0 Plastic JB Weld: https://amzn.to/3Ep638V

Optional: Silicone Heat Shrink: https://amzn.to/2ZqZqUn

Suction Shower Head Holder: https://amzn.to/3CvSAf9

Heavy Duty Nozzle (more controlled pressure): https://amzn.to/2ZDdBq3

Shower head & hose (with on/off switch): https://amzn.to/2ZB3D8e
Note: If using both the shower hose and garden nozzle, we recommend purchasing a second quick disconnect to install on shower hose.

300 Watt Aquarium Heater: https://amzn.to/3mhclBf
Notes: I personally boil water for heating but some may like this convenience.
