Title: Already Got one ;-)

Had it for 2 Le Mans trips and it's really pretty good.

I opted for the one that attaches to a big butane bottle.   A 3.9kg Calor gas cylinder fits well ( same screw fit as the US ).

I have 2 burners - but in reality you only need one - putting both on is scalding hot.

I've got a Coleman dual fuel dual burner stove so I don't need to buy a burner - I can run the system on unleaded and it doesn't involve lugging gas around as space is always a problem!!    I'm seriously tempted by this....

As long as you have a table top burner that can put up a decent flame it should be fine.

( the innards of the box is just a long coiled tube of copper )

Be aware that the flow rate isn't going to burst the pimples on your back..   it's (OK for camping and good enough to have a shower -   and it's hot!

I also bought the shower stand  ( metal tubes )  and the shower cubible  ( at the time they didn't have the one shown on the website ) -  I ended up with more like a Toilet tent....  but - it can be build in about 30 seconds   -  The tent and frame are sown together  and just spring lock.


I'm a happy customer - and the others in my LM group are quite impressed.


If you have any other questons-  just holler

Slight teething problems I admit, but next year will see a brand new version which Smithers is currently working on in the laboratory (shed). If its successful, I'll even bring you one over next year.
