I'm considering exactly the same thing: buy vs. build.

Solar roof top pipe shower
For those of you planning to build, I found a handy calculator to figure out fluid volume for a given pipe diameter: http://www.handymath.com/cgi-bin/cir...i?submit=Entry

Have been looking into something like this for the sole reason it would allow the Mrs. to stay out longer camping. After about 3-4 days. . .she "requires" a shower. The pre-built ones though cost and arm and a leg, will have to look into something like this.
Thanks!

No problem.
It really looks like an easy build. Literally just 2 things to fab: one hole for the shredder valve & one hole for the spigot. I might try one soon myself. My only concern is the weight on just one side of the vehicle. It's not a lot, but at about 8lbs per gallon - it can add up quick. I like the design on the Honda Element (forgot which video it was), but it's a square rather than a tube that just sits on one side. Dunno.

Most of these hold about 4-5 gallons which is 35-45 lbs. (Water is 8 lbs/gal) Considering we often drive with or without a passenger that isn't enough weight to worry about. Put a loaded ice chest on the other side and you're balanced out.

One of these are on my radar. My misses would be willing to stay out longer if a quick shower could be had. Not worried about the weight really.

Was it easy to mount? Factory rack? Picture? Also, which Goal Zero model do you have? Do you like it?
