Edohart,
Was this a FWC heater or another? Anyone else using water heaters?
We bought one of the coleman ones and it works pretty well but is pretty bulky. Don't know where we would carry it with the limited space on the FWC.

It's an integrated heater. The shower is basically a fold down door with a hose and shower head that attaches to a nipple under the door and there is a place to hold the shower head. The hose is long enough that you could easily spray your feet.
The only draw back I see is that he has less interior storage because the heater takes up some room (though he had other options which I don't have, so it's hard to say how much space the heater took up).

I have that option. Good thing to have but it hasn't seen as much use as I originally anticipated. Mostly because of the short duration trips plus being where using a enclosure would be required. Still, I like being able have hot water while the campstove is occupied. If I can ever get to the point of doing some more extended off road trips I can see it getting a lot more use.

What's the brand of that shower stall? I bought one a while back but it was so flimsy it would never survive a Baja breeze. I took it back and haven't replaced it yet.

The one I have is called Outback porta privy,and comes with stakes to hold it down.I bought this one because its light and "pops" up in no time and when folded takes up very little room,The inside pockets are worthless so I removed them and leave my soap and shampoo on the tarp floor.I bought mine at Cabelas,they also have a few others but cost more.The outback is on sale for $49.99
I have been using mine for three seasons so far and has held up very well.
