Shower looks very good, my setup is an oztrail popup double ensuite with a prtable shower that plugs into a car socket and pumps water from a steel bucket that was heated on the fire. Little less convenient but it works
I Enjoy the way you display and explain the many products. Well done
Must Have!! Thank you Andrew!
Thanks I've been wondering about the shower. I also think it would be interesting to see a video of your kitchen setup, how you cook and what you tend to eat on your trips.
Absolutely elegant!!
That's an outstanding product. IMO.
Mine bent in moderate winds that crept into my camp and it was not strong enough of winds that got me worried. I had poles attached to both ends to hold it up and a strap bounded to my roof rack to prevent the tent from losing its square.
When it was time to pack up the privacy curtain (we don't leave it deployed after drying it out), it wouldn''t close. It took several attempts until I realized that the arms were bent, hence rendering the unit unable to close in on itself.
I had bent it back with a pair of pliers but unless you get it perfectly to its original, the folding mechanism twill not align. For this, I see it as a major flaw in this design.
If higher grade materials were used, it wouldn't had bent. Was expecting the quality to be much better for Australian/SAfrican overland products. My EEziAwn seems pretty strong.
The other issue I see when using this was that when the arms fold out, it doesn't;t lock into place. This leaves any movement inside the tent that touches the walls to lose its square or slight winds to knock it off. You can anchor the bottoms down but unless you have guy lines atop, it will flop around.
Am in process of documenting it and sending an email to QuickPitch for review. Hopefully, they improve their product going forward.
Bummer because I waited 6+ months to get this original design from overseas only to be let down after 3 uses.
Mine also did not come with a mounting rail thus, had to drill holes to perfection (which doesn't always translate well). This was unclear at time of purchase. I have the soft pouch version.
Such a brilliant product
This is Brilliant! I'm getting one
I think this a great product but like every one else a little pricey. We have the on board Glind Shower System and LOVE it. Its plumbed to the bullbar. The very first spot I chose to shower from was the side of the car like in this video. After two or three trips I didn't like all the water run off there, it was too close to the rear of the car. It's now at the front of the car against the bullbar. We work out of the back of the car so its well away from that area now, much better. Normally we don't need a screen but if we do we use a Pop-Up Ensuite. If it's a bit windy I just lash it to the bullbar. :-)
This guys voice is amazing
great shower,but I am a carpenter so will make one out of ali poles .also people who live in perth could pop in and visit Bridie at hayway camping and hire on great northern hwy midland and ask her nicely.I am getting her to make me a 30 second fly out of better material.Her workmanship is awesome and she will get the job on my shower awning sew up job and it wont cost me $700.00 lol.keep up the great work Andrew,hope to meet you some day mate.
Quick Pitch Campers (from Perth) fitted my shower awning over 12 months ago, it works well and I’ve been very happy with it.
Charles Grundon how much was it ?
Mason mickle I forget now, it was part of a package deal for the pop top roof, shadow awning and shower awning. Best to give quick pitch campers a call.
Clever and compact.
Love it !!!!
So I guess this is the one that's going to end up rattling on your future Australian canning stock trip.
We fixed the rattle.
A fold out 4 panel shower floor would be a nice completion to the kit if it were to be tucked into the showers box.
Would be interesting to find out the price without having to contact the company directly. We have been using pop-up showers for years and they wear out pretty quickly. They only last about 12 months with us so this looks like a great improvement but pricing will be the big deciding factor.
Brilliant product, I would also like to know what gadget you are using to heat up your water, you have mentioned in one of your other video's that your water gets heated while on the go, can you please point me in a direction. I really enjoy your video's and advice, and maybe will one day bump into you somewhere in Southern Africa!!
THAT GREAT IDEA FOR TRAVEL CAMPER ON LONG TRIP
OMG this guy is hilarious, he sounds like a cross between David Attenborough and Steven Toast (aka Matt Berry) 😂 Legend 👌👍👍 Ensuite is pretty cool too
What would you suggest for the floor area? Also, is the unit "sealed" from weather? I ask because Id be a little worried about possible mildew issues when the shower is folded up and you're using it on a 6+ month trip. Maybe the fabric is machine washable? Thank you for demoing it and helping with the development of this product.
foam rubber mats with holes. Available at Bunnings.
Does anything hold the lid open so it does not slam down on your hand when you are re packing it? This would be helpful if more than one person is packing camp in the same truck as it could get jostled around by the other person loading stuff in.
It really is nice and all. One more thing to buy the traveler that has it all I suppose. Having seen the failure of electric pumps and heaters/heat exchangers I've moved to a more simple solar passive system but this curtain would give me a little privacy. Its not really be a problem for me as I tend to travel in places where I can simply shower on the other side of my truck from where my travel companions are and the hill and rocks on my side seem to keep their comments to themselves.
I hear you. I still carry my very old and trusty solar bag as backup.
I'm 4 years late but I ordered one 2 mins ago 😄 finalising my build. After 5 months planning it'll be 6 months building
I'm late too, and love these lol. Do you mind sharing how much yours was?
@@juliethibodeaux4965 $540, plus pp
@@secdetau thank you!
There an exceptionally put together cubicle for the shower though I would use the companion brand aquaheat lithium gas shower. Small and light enough to put in your 4x4
Hello Andrew! Any news on when this might become available in the U.S.?
How did you build your shower because I would like to replicated that in a build that i am wanting to do soon
with your merch I was looking for a iPad 2 case and when I saw something I didn't realise until a couple days later that they were stickers not cases. are you able to send me a link if there are some iPad 2 cases.
what about overhead cover to protect against rain when used as a WC? Or LED's if you visit at night?
Hey Andrew, just wanted to give you the heads up, "Adventurer Ready" has not received the shipment of the "QuickPitch. Do you Know what the delay is? (Hope the ship didn't sink!!! LOL!)
What a great product, would it tend to fold up on you in even a light wind though? Did it have any lock open mechanism? Maybe if it did and a base you could attach to such as a custom mounded plastic "shower tray" it might be even better for us in the northern hemisphere. Possibly an idea for optional extras.
Shower tray can't be folded so not a practical solution. I use foam rubber matts with holes for drainage, and then a second one outside the shower to stand on to get changed or get cold, or both. There are tie down eyes for attaching ropes in a wind.
The top lid needs a latch or stay to keep it up after opening otherwise on uneven ground or heavy winds it is going to swing down and hit someone's hands as they are deploying the shower screen.
Oz prices as quoted today, Soft vinyl bag shower en suite $550. Awesome product. You tube for set up.
Great idea! obviously not for the American market unless they make a wider one. lol
I wish this was still available.
Andrew, I know you mentioned that installing this may have been the cause of the rattle--curious what your thoughts are on cost benefit of making modifications while potentially creating other problems. I know you are diligent about what modifications you make to your truck, but do you have an overarching philosophy about modifications? Your thoughts on this subject are appreciated.
The rattle was to be expected, after all, we cut off the roof and replaced it with a camper. But as careful as one can be, problems can and often do come up on a first trip. In fact, its very uncommon for there to be no problems with a major build, but if done well, these problems will be easy to fix, as this was. The shower wasn't the problem, but one simple blind rivet. Philosophy is keep weight down as much as possible by having items do more than one job. Weight is by far the biggest enemy when building a truck because its excessive weight that can cause problems that are not easy to fix, like broken shocks or a cracked chassis.
Please send us details and the company's web page. We would also like to see how you plumbed your pump and water to the shower setup. Thanks :))
Info is in the description. The plumbing system is seperate
All details are in the description.
What radio used in tracks on Australia? And on the roads? Ham radio (i´am Amateur Radio)? CB? UHF? I see "big antennas" on the roof.
Greetings from Portugal.
1) Australia - mostly UHF 477Mhz CB - 5 watts PEP. (80 channels @12.5KC) Class License - Free.
2) A little 27Mhz CB as well but not popular these days. Class License - Free.
3) Ham Amateur - not many travellers use Ham but those that do can check in to daily skeds for safety purposes. Eg Travellers Net, 40m and 20m.
There is a few outback Ham Amateur safety nets for travellers with Ham radio.

Thank you for the information dr om larsen hi hi, 73 de CT1GZB
I know this is an older video but I havent managed to find much info on shower setups or pumps, any chance of a video dedicated to the subject or what you use?
Look up "Road Shower".
This looks great. I'll definitely be picking one up. But I just looked on both US sales sites, and it's not on either website. Do you know when the release date is?
You will have to contact them and ask. I am not part of the sales team. I just review the products.
I Pete am in England can l
Buy a show cube and where from
Great product, some advice. The only NON working link is the Aussie one. You should probably fix this ;) not everyone can copy and paste.
What about the shower itself? You never showed the shower nozzle and where to connect it from? 😞😢
I just received one of these in America. The aluminum model. It came with zero mounting hardware or instructions. I am hesitant to drill holes in this thing to mount, it after spending almost $700 US on it.
neat!
I got a price from Quick Pitch, but it is out of my price range for this product. $700Aud. Think I will stick with my pop up change shelter for now. Still a great product but pity about the pricing.
Hope its at next years overland expowest so I can get one.
You very probably will. The US agents go to that show. That's where I first met them.
can you post a link as to where we can get one in Aus
See info in the description.
Great design! However, I would have the aluminium case open down.. and in that have a fold out shelf for holding soap, shampoo etc etc. Maybe in the next model :P
The fabric wall towards the vehicle is a bit lower so you can access the flip up window unit (or suction cup a soap dish onto the window).
We looked at that option, and it would not have worked well. Its far too high to see into and store soap. Also hinge on top more difficult to seal. Drop down lid prevents access behind the curtain. Instead they sewed in a drop down flap with zips.
Great idea!!!.......and seeing as though it's in a case/bag, you'd only need one strap in the middle rather than one at each end.
Great video of a much sought after product. Quiet possibly your way ahead of the game on promoting this then the dealers you listed above, or they are still to update the websites. All the links you provided have no details. Australia, nothing on their site. Africa, they show it but no listed pricing to even get an idea of the cost. Both US sites have no details or even mention QuickPitch as a supplier. If you can find the direct links (preferably the US sales) not just the home pages that would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Keep up the great work!!
I am not responsible for their websites. You will have to contact them. Email and ask.
Do you know what the price point is supposed to be?
I emailed them :)
$700 curtain
hmm i could see if they made the top box a little bigger or adapted it you could probably add the shower head in there as well oh the possibilities
There is quite a bit of space in the box.
thanks andrew interesting idea love it
Dear Mr. White,
first of all, I want to thank you for all the Information provided and all the fun spread.
But this time I am more than disappointed...well not about you or the EnSuite Shower itself but about the Company producing it..
Immediately after I saw this video I send then a Mail...not getting any response...so I kept on sending emails..and they kept on not responding...I got my own Unimog in Namibia whilst being from Germany. After several tries I got in contact with some of my friends at a Camping Outfitter in Windhoek and ask them for help...they finally got at least an answer from QuickPitch...but a really disappointing one...Quickpitch only was willing to sell 10 Units at a time each costing 5520N$ which is about 440US$...
I really love hassle free stuff as much as you do..but come on...over 400 U$ and you got to buy 10 Units ??? Also kind of strange that you do not even get any feedback on your emails..
Sorry..maybe a great product but not the best way to act to customers.
kind regards Martin
Maybe try kickass shower screen
What's it like in wind? Does it have anchor points so you can attach guy ropes and pegs to?
Also the rubber seal on the box , Does the dust get in past it ?
No dust inside at all. Yes, corners can be easily tied down.
ty for the reply
I take it there's no provision for gray water capture... that's a big camping issue with the enviro-hawks in the USA. Even when we can show we're using bio-safe NFS-approved soap, they still want to get in your face about it.
Clever shower/portable toilet curtain. What about a little more info on the pump system? I’ve found that to be the tricky part. Thanks.
The pump system used is not marketed and is a closely guarded secret by QuickPitch. I think they are working on a off-the shelf system to sell.
4xoverland Thank you for the reply. Good to know there’s something in the works. Did you ever find the source of the CSR squeak? That must have been a pain to deal with in a brand new vehicle.
It was the blind rivet that we inserted to attached the shower. Its a problem very specific to my truck's roof camper design, and not the shower. If we had mounted it 2mm back, it wouldn't have happened. It was a blind space so we had to guess. The shower is just a flat box and can be mounted any way one likes.
4xoverland It’s got to feel good to have that sorted out. Squeaks and rattles drive me nuts too. Always searching them out!
Whats the Cost in US dollars??
When will this be available in the US?
Info is in the description
Purchase link?
So now we need water!
Why did they not use velcro on the adjusters for height 🤔 for say people with one hand or arm missing ! And now i see there not in shops or forsale yet !! 2017 its now 2021 , wasted 20 minutes watching and learning only to find you cant get them ,Thanks...
Did they fix the squeak?
The squeak wasn't the shower. It was the shower mount inside the double layer - a problem very specific to my own truck.
How can you talk about a portable shower and not actually demonstrate using it? Where is the water source?
Fantastic product, but not priced accordingly at all! AU$700 Is better spent elsewhere on your tourer. Especially when you can get a pop up shower dome/tent for around $20 to $40, that takes 1 minute longer to set up... .
So for approximately AU$660 extra... you have your shower set up 60 seconds quicker. Mmmm.. no.
I'm starting to see a real half arsed approach to gear reviews on your channel.
No mention of bucket floor, pegging down, framework, or size. Let's not even discuss the ridiculous price on this item. For $50 I can setup a perpetual shower. And for $350 I can buy one that looks scmick.
639 ausi dollars for this? that's around $480 USD - this is off their ausi website. That's a lot of dosh but I'm sure people will buy.
In the USA. I WANT TO BUY ONE NOW!!!! Where???
No importer in the US seems to want it. They obviously haven't seen the value of it. Call OK4WD in New Jersey and ask them if they have them. Or Adventure Ready in Seattle.
4xoverland can you sell it to through Amazon or PayPal?
4xoverland that's actually crazy... try sportsmobile in clovis ca. They build 30 vans a month. Aluminus?
4xoverland just left info on your website
4xoverland four wheel camper in woodland california?
$700, damn thats costly. can build the same thing from bunnings. 4x shower curtins, some magnets, basic metal frame, and swivel brackets. for $140
Exactly! It's only worth half the asking price and that's mainly for a convenience factor. I was sold until l saw the price...
Guy quoted me $700 for the aluminum version. Lol what a joke. (US)
Hummmmm!
I just went to these links to see about the product and pricing... these companies expect me to contact them directly for the privilege of buying a product directly from them? It's an interesting concept every manufacturer knows of in western society called Amazon Fulfillment Services.... Ship a bunch to amazon, they hold your inventory, they handle the sales transaction, shipping, everything. Then when your inventory is low Amazon notifies you to send more to the warehouse. Every sane small company does this. Sorry for bitching too loudly, give me a price and place to buy it. Money being thrown at a company is like panties being thrown at a rock star... they all appreciate it, but very few get the opportunity, and even fewer know how to make it last.
Its not my product and I do not have shares in the company. Its their business how its sold. It's a brand new product, never been seen before, and it is totally brilliant!. Fairly unlikely that you will ever see this product on Amazon. Designed in Australia, made in South Africa. Contact the distributors if you want one, and they are not in the USA yet. There might be a wait. Or buy a competitor's product - which won't be anything remotely as good as this.
Did you find out how much it cost?
No, but if I were them I would be preselling them and offering international shipping for those crazy enough to pay for that kind of shipping.
You won't have to pay overseas shipping if you live in USA (a bit of a wait), Australia or South Africa.
Direct contact with any company is preferred in Australia.
What a crying shame Quick-Pitch increased their prices for these so dramatically, no one is now interested in importing them into the states. You lost big money Quick-Pitch!
your website is not user friendly
Is this a joke?
privacy from who. ...you look to be in the middle of nowhere?
I was. But won't always be. And neither will everyone who goes camping.
