Coleman camp shower part 2

GoldenRivet · 10-22-10, 09:30 AM

Got use of the camp shower around 6:00 am today.

Pros:

awesome pressure. Not quite as forceful as home or hotel... But really close.

HOT water... Anything over about 25% was too hot so even on a cold morning this thing will steam things up.

Easy setup, plugged in shower hose, plugged pump hose to water bag, turned dial to warm for the wife... Had hot water in 3 seconds.

Cons:

Very pricy, unless frequent camper.

Shower head hose is about a full foot too short to maneuver it around in the shower, but... A quick trip to the hardware store for a few feet of 1/2 inch clear plastic hose will fix that.

Good pressure comes at the expense of lots of water use... About a gallon per minute. So the included 5 gallon water bag will last 2 people about 2.5 minutes each.

Wife rates it a 10... "a lot better than baby wipes for 3 days."

I rate it a more honest and practical 8.5
