Edited Review: This thing is fantastic!
Old Review:Just received this unit and it has an error code number 3. According to the manual it is a gas lighting error, however there are no listed actions to correct this and have problems contacting the company as the company that sells this unit says I have to go through the manufacturer. So, far this has not been a pleasant experience and hope someone from the company can contact me through here as Amazon is not allowing me to return the item.Edited review:After getting a hold of a representative, I was finally able to get a new unit shipped and the company did their best in insuring customer satisfaction and I really appreciated their efforts. I was gone for a work trip for a couple weeks and had the new unit waiting my return. I decided to test the faucet function on my Spa Hot Tub because I turned the heater off while I was away. I came back to about 54 degree water. It usually takes a full 24 hour period for the hot tub to get back to temperature, so I decided to use this as an alternative way of reheating the water. The system was very simple to use and started right up! Only a few seconds of lag time from cold to hot water and over 110 degrees! I went ahead and adjusted the star rating as I’m very pleased with the unit and the customer service was great except the initial start was a little rough and that’s the only reason for less than 5 stars. Otherwise, I totally would have given a 5 star review because this product appears to be worthy of!

This thing works!!!!

I had searched high and low for a camp shower system I could take to the races. All the sites are dry, so no electricity or water. After reading and/or watching countless reviews, the one I wanted was discontinued. And I am so happy it was.

This one had all the features of a much more expensive unit I looked at. Compare this unit to a $1200 system. The biggest of which, for me, was the ability to turn the water off at the shower head. I've seen some people say this doesn't work well. Mine is flawless.

I have also seen other complaints that the quick connectors leak. They DO take a bit of fiddling and pressure to seat properly but again, I had no leaks whatsoever. It IS important to go over all of the hoses and fittings to make sure they are tightened all the way, as you would with any other purchase.
You can run this from your car 12V system, or your house. I plan on using this running from my car but I was unsure how much power it would use. So I connected it to my AIMTOM 155Wh solar generator. I am pretty technically oriented but I didn't even bother to use the instruction booklet with this, its so easy.

I filled a 5 gallon bucket with cold water from the garden hose. I set everything up, connected the power and grabbed a second empty bucket. I ran two tests. The first was full water flow to see how long a 5 gallon pail would last. I fired up the heater and sat with the shower head in the empty bucket. I did NO water preheating. As soon as I turned the machine on it said 66 degrees. The burner kicked on, and the water temp instantly rose. It took maybe ten seconds to have 105 degree water. Plenty warm enough to shower with but tastes vary. It does get HOT if you want it to. The water gets hotter with lower water pressure, but with full flow I got this unit up to 128 degrees fahrenheit on full burner. I would use it at around half, its so efficient.

The first 5 gallon bucket took 8 minutes to empty, with about an inch or so left in the bucket. The next test, I set the water flow to low, but adjusted the shower head to a higher pressure setting (the shower head has THREE settings!) The higher water pressure but fewer jets still gives a great, and hot, shower. This time, it lasted 10 and a half minutes. But be aware. At low pressure the water can, and does, get EXTREMELY hot even with the burner at its lowest setting. Mine ran at 132-135 at this setting. I cranked the burner to full and my unit shut down when it hit 148 degrees, as its supposed to. It did fire right back up as well. If you generally take a quick shower, a five gallon pail would easily do you 2-3 showers. A "Navy" type shower (Wet down, shut water off, lather, rinse.) Could get you even more.

All in all I ran it for roughly 20 minutes. It used so little propane I cant even tell how much it used. Easily an hour or more worth of showers in a single 1lb tank. The battery gauge on my solar generator didn't even budge.

I can't say enough about this camp shower. It is more than a game changer. Don't even think about it. Just get it.

Edit: I tried this with my AIMTOM solar generator and it was great. I bought a 12V battery attachment for the car, which had a 12V receptacle on one end and alligator clips for the car battery. I then tested ten full shower cycles through the unit. (approximately 70 minutes of full power run time, consecutively.) My car battery is five years old, and my car started with no trouble.

家で使ってみた感想ですが中々使えるのではないかなと思います。いろんな人のレビューで高温エラーで止まるとあったのですがタンクの中の水を循環すると確かにすぐに止まります。循環しなければしばらく運転していても止まりませんでした、お湯の温度も最大温度にしておくとそれなりに熱くなりました。(最高温度設定で使っていると徐々に温度が上がっていったのでもしかすると止まるかもしれません)あと使用するガスですが仕事でエアコン配管を溶接するのに使っているFUSOのMagma-Gasを使うと口金もそのまま付きますので変換アダプタが要らないので便利です。(使って大丈夫かは個人責任で)
すぐに壊れたと言うのもレビューであったので冬のキャンプで使えるかどうか楽しみです。
追伸 付属のシャワーもちゃんと使えました、シャワーで水を止めたら燃焼も止まって水を出すとまた燃焼しだしました。
ただシャワーの出方があまり好みではないのでヘッドを変えれたら変えたいです。
最後にケースが付いているのは最高に良いですね、全ての付属品が収まります。
