In Brief

Spopal's portable shower system with a 6000 mAh battery and Encore's ROG 12RK-FB mini-camper with a foldable shower and toilet over the hitch offer new comfort options for campers.

Two new products aim to enhance camping comfort. Spopal has introduced a portable shower system with a 6000 mAh battery and pump. It offers four water flow modes, a maximum heating temperature of 60 °C, and a battery life of 120–150 minutes. Charging is via USB-C. The device has an IPX7 waterproof rating and attaches to surfaces with a suction cup.

US manufacturer Encore has unveiled the ROG 12RK-FB mini-camper, which places a foldable shower and toilet over the trailer hitch. The trailer is 4.6 meters long, with a living area of 3.7 meters. Inside, a sofa converts into a double bed (2.03×1.52 m), and the rear features a pull-out outdoor kitchen with a 100-liter refrigerator, sink, and two-burner stove. The camper weighs 1270 kg and starts at $34,450 in the US.
