Shower in a Box: The Camp Shower Thread

I don’t have a similar set up myself, but my sister and brother-in-law have a similar setup utilizing a Triton instant water heater stuffed in a Pelican box and paired to an onboard water tank and pump. It’s been mounted to the side of their home built teardrop, the Crowswing, for years of dependable service.
Yes. Open the box, stand it up just like you see it. No need for a flue. I’m actually surprised at how little heat it emits. The unit itself remains cool to the touch, and the venting is on top but even the Zarges box didn’t really get that hot on my 4-5 test runs so far. It’s awesome!
Really like the idea. If you sell the vehicle all your investment doesn't go with it and can be carried over to the next.
What about a quick disconnect for the water intake? Maybe the same for the propane connection?
For the water pump. Is it a single bolt through a spacer or are they vibration dampening mounts?

That shower mat looks awfully similar to the ones that Expedition Ops sold years back.
That’s exactly what it is. These things are literally unobtainium today. Still going strong!
Different animal. Waterport is excellent in hot environments where you can solar heat it. Not so good in Utah in March as I found out… haha.
This setup lends itself to those situations where a HOT shower is required
Having a pressurized water supply on demand is super convenient. I've used my WaterPort for a lot of cleanup after cooking. I also use less water with the hose nozzle and quick squeezes over filling up a basin for the rinse. So even if I did something like Dave's shower box I'd carry both.
