Even though your link didn't work it sent me on a google search and I found the Eccotemp portable LP hot water heater.<br><a href="http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/eccotemp-portable-tankless-water-heater/37786" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/eccotemp-portable-tankless-water-heater/37786</a><br><br>

If you really want to be frugal with water, Get a 1/2 to 3 gal garden sprayer, Quart bottle and ketchup squirt bottle, Bucket and sponge. Heat the water in a kettle on the stove or let it sit in the sun. Takes about 1/2 to 3/4 gal to bath unless you have really long hair.<br><br>James AKA Lynx

Hi James, Good Idea. I not really trying to be frugal with water at this point as I am stationary in Sweetie with free water. I am more thinking about having a hot shower either outdoors or indoors. Sweetie has no running water but I do have a hose hooked up that I use and this would be perfect.<br><br>Fixed the link

James,<br>Bravo ! Awesome someone else gets it as well.<br>I have been doing it that way for a couple of years now. No need for huge amounts of water or heating it up !&nbsp;

 

[cleanheart]

Oh I get it alright. When I'm backpacking or camping I barely use any water at all. But where I am located on I am right next to a spring so I don't need to worry about being so frugal at the moment.

There are a lot less expensive and less complicated ways of getting a shower outdoors.&nbsp; From minimalist to a lot better systems than this for half the price.&nbsp; I have a Zodi, a sun shower and just a plain old fashion wash basin that doubles as my sink.&nbsp; A simple tarp or a portable shower/potty house for $80 plus the Zodi for another $120 and you save over $100 just on the Coleman water heater alone.&nbsp; The Coleman shower head is another $20 alone.&nbsp; <br><br>Although most times I am in developed campgrounds so a shower and hot water is just up the path.&nbsp;

Hi RJ, which zodi do you have and are you satisfied with it?

 

[RJCooper]

The Zodi zip, along with a Cabelas deluxe shower house.&nbsp; The whole system cost about $200.&nbsp; The shower house is the best I have found for the money.&nbsp; Comes with a 5 gallon solar shower, a shelve system, a place to keep your towels and clothes dry during shower and is roomy.&nbsp; The shower has a drainable floor which is a plus IMO.

Most of the other water heater kits are to big for just the sake of heating water.&nbsp; They take up more room then my 36 qt 12 volt cooler. You could make your own water heater simple for around $80.&nbsp; All you need is a battery pump, copper tubing, some hose/tubing, a shower head from a solar shower and a one burner stove. The pump would pump the water to the copper tubing that is being heated by the one burner.&nbsp; Then pumped to the head.&nbsp; The pump doesn't pump that fast so&nbsp;it&nbsp;give the burner enough time to raise the water temperature enough for a hot shower, dishwashing or laundry.&nbsp; <br><br>Always make your gear pull double duty.&nbsp;

I, at one time, was researching food trucks and hot dog carts. Being the DIY kinda person I am, I dug into more than just what things need to do but how the people that do it every day do things. There is a "heat on demand" water heater for these businesses that is a lot cheaper,I think just over $100, than the house models. Also. the copper coil over a burner is another way the hot dog cart builders have of providing hot water, and a lot cheaper if you keep a small stove handy anyway.

I love this set up. I just finished mine. I use a solar shower bag and it is just very Convienent for me since I am stationary in Sweetie. I left the top and bottom t-connectors unglued so I can store it easily. I can't imagine an easier set up for me.
