Gearing up for camping

[joez3]

During the summer I do a lot of off road camping, and the truck gets dusty. So many times I just want to rise off the truck at night, not a wash or detailing. So many time where we are camping there is no running water. Can anyone recommend a battery powered pressure washer or water pump. I would prefer something that uses dewalt 18v or roybi 40v battery, since I already have tools that use these. So far I haven't found anything that uses these battery.
Right now the only options I found were the:
worx's pressure washer, has anyone used one of these?
The other option is a transfer pump that roybi makes, but I am not sure how much pressure this pump puts out.

Thanks

Like dusty as in fine dust? In Iraq we used air compressors and blow guns to get the majority of the dust off...

I know you don’t have the battery’s but
Milwaukee makes a battery pump that sound right for what you want.

What vehicle are you using to camp/offroad that you are worried about keeping clean? Anytime we have gone out the quality of the trip was proportionate to how much of the body color was still showing.

there is a big thread about the Ryobi power washer in hot deals though

Is this a joke?

use a pump up weed sprayer.
I know I have seen a thread on here where a member has used one for showers also.

Should just get an inverter and get a small 120v sprayer, I'm guessing you could find other uses for the inverter as well.

I will try to find a video of it, but I had a Shurflo ran to a 5 gallon water jug and it had a ton of pressure and power. I also showerd off with it in the summer or washed the sand off myself when leaving the beach.

Get a weed sprayer and an 18v blower skin.. or give up camping.

When I go hiking I carry my Milwaukee hair dryer in case of showers. Its a life saver.

I've got a nice hand held watering device for you. It only requires 3-4 IPA's to run, but you could only really clean one body panel at a time me thinks.

I'm confused. OP wants to carry a pump AND water to sprinkle his truck down at night WHILST camping?

Switch to Bud Light, you'll get quicker refills on the holding tank.

This is the best advice right here. One 12 pack and the whole truck is sprayed down. Hopefully it will repel bears as well.

It is tough enough to get the wife and girls to go camping!

I scoff at anyone that washes their truck, much less when on a trail.

Carrying 400 lb of water for truck washing is probably outside what most people consider "camping". I have seen people take Lazy Boys camping so I make no judgement. And 12 volt blenders and air conditioners. And TVs.

I draw the line at a plunge pot and a Dutch oven.

Travel trailers use a 12v pump that turns on when the pressure drops from opening a faucet. It is easy to form or route plastic and add adjustable contacts to fit your battery choice. A boost buck can get your voltage right.
