Kakadu Outback Shower

I bought this to replace my water heater in my Alucab. Instant is great but the flow control is pretty stiff and when you shut off to conserve water, burner shuts off and then when you turn back on there is cold/hot ect. The Alucab you pull the trigger, hot water where you set it. Release the trigger to soap up and when you hit the trigger again it is the same temp. I do not know if this can be changed to be more consistent when shut off for just a minute or so but a trigger flow control on the handle would be nice. Alucab trigger has a detent when you squeeze and hold it will lock on until you squeeze it again it will release and let the water stop. Things always evolve just my thoughts. Othewise it is great. Best thing is being able to grab water from another source than the camper in collapsible buckets so I am not dependent on the camper water.

This just works so well. So easy to use and almost instant hot water. Flow is really good. Love mine

After years of “mystery temperature” camping showers, I finally decided to upgrade to a water heating system. I researched extensively and concluded that the Kakadu shower was worth the investment. So many thoughtfully designed details!

Super easy to use, good quality, and works as advertised.

This unit worked very well on a weekend trip and felt high-quality right out of the box. Setup was easy with clear instructions, and the quick-connect fittings on the hoses made attaching the pump and shower head simple. The water came out hot quickly, with a stronger flow rate and more pressure than I expected. It was enough for two people to take proper showers, and it could easily be adjusted down for something gentler, like rinsing off a baby.

The propane hookup uses the same canisters I already keep for a lantern and heater, so I didn’t need extra fuel types. The rechargeable battery lasted through the weekend without needing a recharge, and while it isn’t replaceable, it charges easily. The digital controls let me adjust the temperature, which is useful since the water can get very hot.

It isn’t designed for salt water, but with fresh water, it works reliably. The slim design makes it easy to pack, and once running, it provides consistent heat and good pressure. While not the lightest piece of gear, the convenience of having an actual hot shower at camp outweighs the bulk, and it's a great value overall.

This is a great tent for car camping, not for hiking given its 20 lbs weight.

As advertised, setting it up is less than 2 minutes. Of course, if you add the rain fly, stakes, front flap setup you’ll be at about 5 minutes. Which is amazingly fast for such a size. Not to stand up inside but add two cots and get in and out comfortably. Exactly what we needed.

I decided on this one because of a YouTube video I saw, which touted the star gazing function. Indeed, the top will protect you from insects but still allow full view of the sky. One of the sites we camp at is known for star gazing (dark...) and this time we sat inside, no insects, and enjoyed the view.

The design is very clever, from the built-in rod, to slide and lock, to gusseted window coverings, and more.

We are enjoying every aspect of this tent. I wish I could give it a 5 star, but our tent had one of the poles with an issue. A two-inch length of paint peeled off exposing the steel. I asked the CSR and they agreed that a touch of clear coat should protect it from rust.

The media could not be loaded. The compact design and light weight made it very portable and perfectly fit to my trailer. Everything made with really good and solid quality, also with great outdoor look. I like the idea combined coleman classic propane with battery in this heater unit. It will be much heavier and bigger if powered by battery only also not that efficiency.
It's a little confusing when the 1st time usage, especially the switch on shower head didn't label on/off but honestly this is an easy fix and can get used of it in no time.
Setup is very easy except spinning the propane bottle in took me a while and I wish the inlet can be slightly adjustable so I can tilt it out. Other than that, both water inlet and outlet are as simple as pushing and clicking.
The water temperature is good, it's even a little too hot for me but should be fine for others because I preferred less warm. The water pressure is also very stable and you can prepare your own water tank base on how much time you spend showering. I believe you can enjoy a good warm campsite shower, outside or in the trailer should both work fine due to it's compact and portable size.
Almost everything works perfect for me with this portable hot water kit. It will be good if the temperature can be adjusted lower than what it is now.

I got this to use at our mountain cabin as a backup. Our place is pretty remote although we do have electrical service. We are at the end of the line and our power goes out on a regular basis and oftentimes is off for several days. I have a backup generators that runs everything we need but it will not power our electric hot water heater. This should be a great way for us to be able to take showers and have hot water when our power is out for an extended period of time. The unit seems to be very well made I love how it has wind baffles built into it that will keep the flame from being extinguished on a breezy day. The pressure is decent for what it is and should be more than sufficient to get you clean. The water temperature does fluctuate somewhat when you turn the unit on and off but that is to be expected. The only reason I withheld one star is because the clips that hold the pump wire to the inlet hose are horrible and constantly fall off.. I will be replacing these with zip ties as soon as I can. The unit is user friendly and pretty much self-explanatory although the instruction manual that came with it is very thorough and easy to follow. I also wish that this unit came with a 110 charging capability rather than just the 12 volt cigarette lighter plug. It says in the manual not to use an AC/DC adapter but I don't understand what the issue would be with that? Overall I'm very pleased with this unit it will be great to have hot water not only to do dishes but to bathe with when we are experiencing the long power outages at our mountain cabin especially during hunting season when a person tends to get a little funky after a day or two. I would definitely recommend this unit especially if you do a lot of camping or off grid activities.

This is a very well thought out design which offers many options for ventilation with lots of mesh available to let the air flow through. There's plenty of space for 3, and even better for a couple or even large solo tent!

While it's definitely not a hiking and backpacking tent (approximately 20 lbs) it's an excellent option for weekend trips to the campground or forest lands.

Set-up is quick and easy with the fast frame design. The legs and top bar simply extend into position and lock into place. The material is excellent and definitely heavy duty.

One of my favorite features is the 2 pole awning design which allows easy viewing of the forest around you while the excellent mesh keeps the bugs out.

This is definitely a tent that I highly recommend. Please see my video review for a lot more details on this amazing tent.

Everything about this is excellent. The quality of all the materials exceeds my expectations. It is easy to put together and to learn how to use. The included directions booklet is made with clear color pictures and well written instructions to make it easy to learn.

It arrived with what looks like a full battery. The only plug that arrived with it for charging is the one that plugs into a car, so don't expect to plug it into a wall outlet. But it makes sense because everything about this is designed for being off grid or remote.

This is really easy to put together and take apart. The hoses for the pump and the shower head have those great quick connect ends so it is super convenient. Really easy to hang out the hoses to dry. And the instructions include how to tip the unit over to get all the internal water out. Overall it is very simple to maintain and use and keep clean.

This unit is definitely an investment. I am really impressed at the quality. It is a solid unit that seems like it will last a long time.

This is exactly as described and pictured. Once you get propane this is perfect for camping in areas that do not offer shower areas. You could even use this as a pool shower for after swimming. This can be taken to the beach, camping or anywhere with water access. A little on the noisy side but not to awful. Very useful. Very simple to use.

Works great. Would be nice if the storage bag would be included for the price.

The shower was great. I used it at 7000’ elevation and it ran hot and steady. Didn’t even burn through a can in 2 weeks. The tent is pretty nice as well. Once you set it up a few times ita a breeze!

I have only tried it once, but it seems to be solid and worked as expected. I recommend the bag so you can have all the components in one sturdy bag.

Shower works better than advertised. I hooked it up to a 50 gallon barrel of water, larger propane tank and I had the local Amish build a shower house. Now we have unlimited hot showers in the woods. This one luxury now makes our trips really comfortable.

We were skeptical at first but I must admit that it was actually nice. Simple to set up and yes the water was hot almost immediately! The big question was the wife and yes she thought it was "fun" and was thankful to get clean again. We set it up along side our electric toilet and Roofnest tent and it all worked well. We also purchased this Ushi OG trailer and all together a nice set up. Check out these pics

We use it camping for washing dishes. It is awesome!! No more cold hands from camp water - can’t wait to use it for a shower

Super portable, lightweight, and compact system. Flame ignites quickly. Water flow is just right (not too much wasted water but enough to get clean). On-board battery that can be charged while shower running is a huge plus!
