I need a shower because I work 100 miles away and I can either shell out $10 for the truck stop each day, or rely on co-workers to let me use theirs (not always an option) or just go without a shower (gross) or lose 4 hours of sleep and $25 worth of gas to drive home just to shower.

How much weight can a hitch support on these? I was thinking of something pop-up so it wouldn't be any higher than the roof.

 

Most hitch manufacturers like Draw-Tite and Curt, specify a maximum tongue weight for the HHR at 200lbs.

So I guess in the simplest terms you need to get the weight of the hitch mounted shower, and add it to your own weight to see if you're going to break something.

Even if you and the shower add up to say 300lbs, I wouldn't lose sleep over using the setup, after all the hitches are overbuilt to a degree and you're not going to be showering 10 times a day.

 

Or driving whilst showering!

 

I have a big black plastic bag with a black plastic curtain on three aluminum poles with a ring around the top that we use when camping. You fill the bag with water in the morning or the night before and hang it in a tree or something. You can hang it on the shower thing but it tends to fall over a lot.

The sun heats the water through the day and you got a nice warm if not quite hot shower in the evening.

Of course most camp grounds have showers too. My wife will usually opt for showering in a building over using my camp shower. The camp shower all breaks down and fits in a fairly small ditty bag.
