My folks have one and say it's great. Never used one myself, but most Coleman gear is usually good stuff.

Ive got one. It does the job well. We find it a bit hard to get the right temperature for a shower so we recirculate the water in a 20L bucket until the desired temp is reached then turn the dial down to cool and have a wash.

The old man has had his for a few years now. The pump went on his so he rigged up a little bilge pump as a temporary fix that is now permanent. Cant remember the exact figure he was quoted for a replacement pump, but it did seem excessive.

I'd recommend it.

I've got one and it works well, I'm happy with it, I had heard that many had failed but so far so good, so quick which is the point for me

I had one of the first and it failed. I got it replaced under warranty and they only wanted the unit back so I kept the pump and line and now have a spare pump just in case. The old one would flame out almost immediately. The new version is excellent. They recognized they had a prob with a lot of the early ones. Back then I think they had a 10 yr warranty. I think it's 5 or less now. I wouldn't be without it. Cheers

I have one, Its used in the boat and out camping. The little lady is very happy now she can have a shower before bed !!
We use it for a quick cup of coffee or noodles while out 4WDing. Have had it for nearly 12 months without a single problem.

Cheers

It's a bit like Ford v Holden, I have an Aqua Cube and Darling thinks it is fantastic.

Hey all
thanks for your opinions. After our last trip tp Bribie where we had water available i just thought it would be good to have one-- Nothing like a warm shower before bed.

Have put one on layby-- that will be our xmas present to each other. Have already worded the boys up we we need a shower tent with ensuite for xmas. Nothing like early planning.

thanks everyone

Ronnie
