Overview
The Camping Australia 12V Portable Water Pressure Shower Pump delivers a consistent, pressurised water flow wherever your adventures take you — no mains power required. Powered directly from any 12V DC source such as a car battery, caravan power outlet, or portable battery pack, this self-priming diaphragm pump draws water from any container — jerry can, bucket, or collapsible water bag — and delivers it through a handheld shower head at a steady flow rate of up to 4 litres per minute. The compact, lightweight design and durable black housing make it tough enough for corrugated outback tracks while remaining easy to pack into any storage compartment.
Purpose-built for Australian caravan and camping life, this 12V shower pump is the essential hygiene solution for grey nomads, 4WD tourers, overlanders, and family campers heading off the beaten track. Rinse off after a surf or a dusty bush walk, wash down muddy boots and recovery gear, clean camp dishes at a free campsite with no facilities, or give the kids a quick rinse before bedtime — all from a remote campsite, a national park bush camp, or the side of your 4WD. Compatible with caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, utes, and rooftop tent setups, it draws power from cigarette lighter or bare wire connection and is ready to use in seconds.

Common questions
Is 4 litres a minute a real shower?
It is a proper rinse rather than a bathroom shower. Enough pressure to get soap and sand off, and gentle enough that a jerry can lasts a couple of people if you wet, switch off, lather, then rinse. Run it flat out and your water goes fast.
Does it heat the water?
No, it only moves it. Whatever temperature is in the jerry can is what lands on your head, so warm it first — a black water bag left in the sun all afternoon, or a kettle of boiling water stirred through a bucket until it is comfortable.
What kills these pumps?
Running dry and grit. Keep the strainer sitting under the water line, not sucking air as the container empties, and switch off the moment the flow stutters. Keep the inlet off the bottom of a bucket too, because sand through a diaphragm is the end of it.
