Clever Solution for a Shower on the Go
Campers, surfers, off-roaders — anybody on the road and needs a shower is in luck. Dubbed the world’s first portable shower and storage box in one, the simple yet innovative BeachBox looks like your typical storage bin, measuring about 17 inches high and under 27 inches wide, sliding into a small car trunk without issues.
It took the inventors 3.5 years to get this portable shower just right, and like most inventions, it came from their issues after long days at the beach dealing with dirty kids and sandy toys.
The BeachBox’s shower tank holds 2 gallons of water (and drainage plug when done) with a dry box section to store stuff like towels and cloths, along with wet & dry divider slides for better organization. The mini storage tubs are a nice touch for more minor things like wallets or keys. As the creators said, “It’s the ultimate wingman for outdoor enthusiasts…”
With an insulated tank cover, flip the removable lid and place it on the ground for a non-slip changing pad for those sandy feet and rinsing duties. Or just stand in the box, it’s designed for this too. For campers, the BeachBox is handy for river, ocean or lakeside camping with its four tanks for water storage — whether cleaning off the kids or rinsing dishes after a meal. The tanks also come with an insulated cover for hot showers to ensure H2O remains warm.
The 7-foot neoprene hose works with a shower wand, auto flow lock, and temperature control. The 2-gallon tanks feature a simple refill screw top and air pressure release valve.
Again, a portable shower solution is one of those ‘why isn’t this already out there!?’ sorts of products. For campers and off-roaders in the middle of nowhere, surfers getting in some sessions before a business meeting, or beach Dads who need to do a quick parking lot rinse off their kids to avoid hours of vacuuming and annoying sand-filled cabins, this solves a problem in a handy, space-saving way.
The retail price is US$229, with deliveries starting this August 2019. However, at the time of writing, it costs $140 on Kickstarter. Check out the BeachBox Kickstarter campaign to learn more.
