As a follow up to our “Where Do We Shower” episode, today we’ll show off our Zodi Portable Hot Shower that we use while boondocking / dry camping in the wilderness. But first, we have to set up camp!

We purchased ours at Mountain Equipment Co-op: http://www.mec.ca/product/5028-597/zodi-hot-tap-shower
I have needed this many times. Truck stop showers are about $15 per pop.
Best video of on the go showering!!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching all of your videos! Thank you!
After reading other posts, why not try the hot tub tarp method, but see if you can modify a coil of copper and the pump method that self-propels a "pop-pop boat" you can watch on YouTube with no electricity.
Terrific demo
Just bought one..
thanks!
Dog bath perfect idea for small storage area.
Lived in Spain back in the 90's and they didn't use hot water heaters. Their sinks and showers used a propane set-up. Good to see that someone made a portable version for camping or van life.The doggy bath was a nice solution for indoor use. 😉
These showers are honestly garbage check out the new mr. Heater Baseline
What happens if we stop running water and the burner is still lite.
Does it over heat and burn up?
Why don't you just put a bathtub in your van ?
Great idea with the collapsable dog tub thing thanks for the share !
04:44… It's more sturdy… As it almost falls out of lid…
Warning!… never run the heater without water flow. Rule is: water on and flowing. then turn on heater then turn off heater and run to cool the coil and then turn off water flow. If you run the heater without water you will damage the heater coil and cause a leak and need to replace the heater unit. The Heater coil is not intended to be replaced by consumer. This unit can get very hot so it is best to cycle the water to temperature and then shower without the heater. Do preheat the water outdoors if intending to shower in an enclosed space, never run the heater indoors. Enjoy and be safe.
That is the best idea for a water reservoir
She hast to show him how to back up because it’s just an open field and he probably doesn’t have a level on the dashboard and oh my gosh I can’t believe I watched that.
That’s a whole lot of water when you’re Boondocking compared to the recycling set up I just watched in another video that gives you a shower with 64 ounces. Yes half a gallon of water. And all those parts only cost about $100. Now if you want heat yes that would be extra. But that shower system recycles the water through a filter and allows you to really conserve the water you have when you’re Boondocking or even if you’re on a very low water supply somewhere in the house. This is nice but you’re throwing this water away with this system instead of capturing it reusing it while you shower and then re-capturing it again as gray water for some other future use.
If you want to know more about that one then you need to message me or find my channel and I think there’s an email or my Instagram and you can find me there. I did not create this other system I just think it’s better.
OK I love the dog bath item and I am intrigued a little bit by this system and then combining it with a good filter like in the other Boondocking video this could be another kind of system available to use. But you don’t need to use so damn much water in my opinion. That’s why you want to filter that way you can recycle it and have a shower that can last for like an hour with a very minimal amount of water.
Thats nice but feel like it take for ever to set up i stick to pump up sprayer an heating up some water
Hey nice guy and a good demonstration but a expensive shity shower system!! lots of better systems out there where they filter the water and reuse it. Just sayin
AWESOME REVIEW ON THIS PORTABLE SHOWER YOUNG MAN. THANKS!!!..
Looking for that portable pet bath. Do you know if it is still available? TY.
Sticking your finger thru that hole was a bit rude
That collapsible bucket for shower is such a great idea. Combine that with a shower curtain on a circular rail and you’ve got an indoor shower. Brilliant. No need to have a separate bathroom which takes space.
Can you share the name of your folding table and collapsible bucket?
How is your Zodi holding up? I purchased this exact same unit several years ago and the biggest problem I had was the pump unit failing due to water corrosion to the motor. After going through two failed pumps I finally just hooked the inlet line up to a 3.5 gallon pump up garden spray tank. The propane heating unit has worked just fine. I usually pre heat some water on my camp stove to add to the cold spray tank water. After being run through the heater coils it comes out nice and hot.
small usage note: you are not supposed to light the propane without the water pump on. dangerous if the water turns to steam in the burner unit.
STOP saying "actually"!
Awesome thank you!!!
