*Bump*

Gene, We're planning a Denali trip and wondered if you (or the rest of you who have been there) thought the Kenai peninsula was overly touristy or worth the trip? As much as we would like to take the truck and camper, due to time constraints we'll probably have to fly and rent a car or an rv for the drive to denali. We're wondering if we should save some time for the kenai or spend it on the denali or dempster hwys.

Really depends on how you use water. I was impressed with the water pressure and duration of a fully pressurized tank. We can usually take two "military-type" showers with ours although i still haven't figured out a great way to mount the shower head for a more sustained washing. Easy to pump the pressure back up if needed. No batteries to replace. Typically we boil a pot of water and add a pot of cold because we didn't get the unit in the sun early enough or weather is too cold. Easy enough to have an extra pot ready and refill. Does dual duty sitting outside the camper during the day for vegetable or hand washing, etc. Works great and no extra heater units to worry about. Not everyone will find this shower sufficient but when my wife found out this would let her shampoo her hair with hot water it gained me an extra night or two in the camper before having to check into a hotel mid-trip. Recommended.
