Are these type things any good for a quick wash down of the bike before loading up on the way back home?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-PORTABLE-SHOWER-UNIT-CAMPING-CARAVAN_W0QQitemZ290335609294QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item439959d1ce

I've got a truck with power outlets in the pickup part so something like this would be ideal to wash any heavy mud off before loading up?

Not nessecarilly that model, but any other models people know about?

Thanks

A £10 garden spray does the necessary for me, with an adjustable lance that can give a jet or spray as needed. Gets the dirt off without removing the stickers. Needs a final wash and polish when home if you are fussy. I fill it with car shampoo mixture.

Indeed - got it somewhere on the web recommended here about a year ago but have not got the name.

Amazon looks like the best bet - not quite as good as my 10L for a tenner but reasonable enough. At a pinch you could always use it in the garden?
