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 😂

Honestly I considered a solar shower for my Overland rig, but had space to spare and got a propane one with a pump instead. I'm already carrying a cylinder for cooking, and attaching a filter to the pump lets me pull from any standing water. 12v power is pulled from the truck. Might be worth looking in to if you're already carrying propane.
