We have the Colapz version https://colapz.co.uk/collections/po...s/new-12v-portable-rechargeable-travel-shower with Fun 10% discount code MHF10 but many other versions are available. We like this one as the pump is narrow enough to fit in a water carrier for filling up main water tank (as well as the shower function) plus a spare USB rechargeable battery is available.

May not be what you are looking for, but my solution was that my sink tap is a shower head that I can pass through the window - simple but effective

Just a tad..
Left field, but I have a Hozelock pressure shower, kind of like a roses sprayer with a shower head on. I used it extensively over a few years whilst on longer ‘off grid’ fishing trips around Europe. Highly recommended!

I had one of those 12v portable showers before and they work well..was only £15 off eBay .. cigarette 12v plug type.

You could run this off a jump pack...then it's kind of 2 for 2 deal and rechargeable

We have been using one of these for a number of years. Put in cold water and top up to suit with boiling water - saves firing up the boiler when heating is not being used. When off grid and conserving water we find we can both get an adequate shower with using only about 5lts of water.
We recently moved to a bungalow and still haven’t got a bathroom so are using the Hozelock on a daily basis. Fill it with hot water from the bungalow and nip out to the motorhome to shower. The Hozelock shower only cost us £5 (unused) about 13 years ago so doesn’t owe us anything. Have seen that GoOutdoors sell a similar one to the Hozelock, for considerably less.

We used the same in our old van, as had not finished the plumbing, before a hot UK summer holiday. Worked really well, wet yourself down, soap up, rinse off. No batteries, very light and uses minimal water. A properly plumbed in system with its own tank and and a hand pump to pressurise the tank would be a good off grid solution. As suggested add some hot water to taste.

I bought a solar one from Decathlon.
Made by Quechca. Uses a manual pump and we found it pretty good when in sunnier climes.
We used to fill it and then place it on our roof whilst we went out for the day and it warmed up nicely. As the sunnier periods became less concentrated, we filled a traditional solar shower bag (which we found much quicker to heat up) and left that out and then filled the Quechca from that.
Worked a treat for our requirements.
