Does that water heater have a flue on top ?.....that handle says YES and that's an exterior unit only...............YMMV

It only runs during a short shower. Yes its portable and designed to be used in all sorts of ways. None of which are meant to be permanent. The unit is powered off and gas valve closed when not in use. I realize its not ideal, but it works for the few times I would be wanting to shower in there vs other means.
 
Looks great, very nice work you have done.
 
Thanks a lot :shy:   testing it out at a casino with free camping this weekend
