I've been using the Kakadu Outback Shower Vehicle Tent for bathroom and shower needs while camping at Padre Island National Seashore (PINS). The winds at PINS are consistently strong and gusty, but this tent stays in place when securely attached to the side of my SUV.
The setup process is straightforward, and the attachment system works well with a roof rack. Once it's properly secured, the tent feels stable, even in challenging weather. The material is durable, and the BlockOut Technology effectively limits light from entering the interior, providing privacy during the day. This is helpful at a beach campsite where privacy can be hard to come by.
The tent's design is functional. The towel rod is handy for drying off after a shower, and the storage system keeps toiletries organized. The included roof-mounted LED light provides enough illumination for nighttime use, and the tent's size is comfortable, even for someone tall like me (6'6"). The ventilation is adequate, preventing it from feeling stuffy after a hot shower while still keeping out sand and debris from the wind.
One consideration is that the tent relies on the vehicle for support, so you'll need to position your vehicle correctly before setting it up. Additionally, the included stakes are not ideal for sandy conditions. For extra stability, I'd recommend bringing sand-specific stakes if you plan to use them at the corners.
Overall, the Kakadu Outback Shower Vehicle Tent works well for bathroom and shower use in windy conditions. It's functional and provides the privacy and stability needed for camping at places like PINS. It's been reliable for us, and I'd recommend it to others looking for a vehicle-mounted privacy shelter.
