Outback Shower Camp-Ready Bundle

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.

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.
