Camp shower advice needed

[Abran]

Looking to buy a heated camp shower set up.

I have found the Coleman instant hot water:

Mr heater base camp:

These 2 above are roughly the same size and weight.

But there is also this Mr.heater Boss which looks be be twice the size/weight:

All of them have sporadic reviews.

Anybody with some advice? Don’t mind spending the money but want a reliable and compact system.

Thank you.

Although I'm not quite ready to purchase yet (only a task and timing issue). I'm leaning towards the Eccotemp L5 seems to have good reviews

I've been using one of these for past 10 years and it works just fine for us. Not fancy or pretty though.

Thanks, I saw that one but you need a pump/water pressure and a large style propane tank.

I was hoping for a slick, compact all in one system that runs off of 1lb propane. Although the water pump aspect is the biggest deal breaker.

I was hoping for prettier, but it might have to do if I don’t find something better.

Thank you

Found this review/upgrade for the Zodi.

I might be buying based on making these mods.

Ok, the L5 with flojet pump is looking good. Just need to figure out mounting in the camp shower tent.

My Eccotemp L5 has been going strong almost 3 years with daily use. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Do you think it would work in a shower tent?

I’m concerned about hanging in the tent. Does the unit get hot to the point the tent could melt or catch fire?

Thanks

Yes, it blows out very hot air that could cause damage.

How about some pictures of the Eccotemp L5 setups?

does anyone know if you can leave the ecotemp hooked up and run cold water through it when not hooked up to propane? fill up water bottles, dog bowl etc. then turn on propane for hot water?

Does it have to be mounted vertically?

Check with the manufacturer for details. Mine is upright.
