Hello all,

I have been looking at the Zodi on demand hot water showers and am wondering if anyone has any experience with them. The two models I am looking at are below

If anyone has used these let me know what you think. I plan on getting the conversion for a propane tank so I can use it with the tank that will be in my Bobcat that I just ordered.

Thanks,

Cort

If anyone has used these let me know what you think.

I have purchased two Zodi showers prior to buying the Hawk camper (I have the hot shower option). The first one was the Hot Tap On-Demand Hot Shower #6185. I didn't care for it much and ended up giving it away. The thing kept falling over during use....and was kind of a pain to use. The last time it fell over the heat from the propane melted the hose.

The next Zodi shower I purchased was Extreme series #8170. I didn't use the propane heater part....I just heated it up on the camp stove. This unit is a true pleasure to use. Far better than the first one. In fact, I still have it as I can't talk myself into parting with it.

I was toying with the idea of rigging up an inside shower curtain like some on this forum have done....and be able to take indoor showers during inclimate weather. I may use the Zodi Extreme as the indoor water source....or I may plumb in an extra shower hook-up on the inside (by teeing off of the existing system) so I can use my FWC shower on the inside or outside.

I agree with Sled about the Zodi. I use a Zodi Extreme and heat it on my stove. It is simple and I love it!

If want to take a shower in the forest or behind a rock, I just carry it with me and pump.

Another vote here for the super-simple Zodi Extreme. Love ours. Swap the stock head for a kitchen trigger sprayer and you're good to go. This photo was taken after letting it sit full in the sun, while we went on afternoon hike. Temp was perfect upon our return to camp...

thanks for the info guys. I think I will give the extreme a try.

I love that Outback Porta Privy too. Sets up and folds down in seconds.

KCOWYO,

what shower shelter is that? It looks different that the Zodi shelter.

kcowyo,

Do you happen to have a picture of the kitchen trigger sprayer you installed?

[Cort]

Never mind I just missed the post. I am going to check out the Outback Porta Privy, I like the looks of it.

I would like to see the picture of the kitchen trigger sprayer as well

Cheers,

Cort

Zodi extreme: awesome. I cut the end of the hose off and fitted it with a regular shower head. It's pure bliss.

Zodi regular: marginal but works. Packs smaller but lacks quality.
