Rooftop solar shower ideas (self.camping)

My wife and I like to car camp in the back of our Toyota Highlander on occasion, but I love a long hot shower and not everywhere we camp has a shower house.

Anybody have some cheap solar shower ideas that have worked for them? I know about the hanging bag ones but seems like those would make for a very short shower. We also may not always have a tree or good place to hang a bag shower.

I thought about just a big HDX tote up on the roof rack with a spout attached. Or maybe we just need an RV 😂

Do you have the roof rails? Not sure if every highlander came with them or not. I've seen ppl make showers out of PVC pipe the whole length of the roof, using either black or painted black pipe to get the water hot.
