Hi , I’m looking for a portable for when I go to France . I like the look of the flexi tail one . Has anyone used one ?

What’s best for using for the reserve ? I was thinking a black collapsible bucket so I can leave it in the sun to warm the water for a bit

No, not used one but made my own, Whale submersible camping pump, associated hose, shower head. 10ltr water more then enough. Used a camping toilet cubicle for the shower, almost threw it the other day, not used it for a decade, can't see me doing drive and survive again...though never say never!

The flextail is superb,the small one is powerful and good coverage.It packs away very compact and is really well made.It is on offer sometimes for around £30 and its worth every penny

Any recommendations for water carrier / tank ? I thought a small black collapsible bucket might work well

No suggestions at all sorry but if you take an ice box I’d be using some of the dissolved ice. Waste not want not.

You can get a decent one on Amazon for £25

Also most big service stations in France offer free showers. Having used them several times they have always been clean. You simply use your vehicle keys as a deposit for the shower room key. They’ve been a real help for those longer trips of 2-3 weeks
