    I am still running low tech using Seattle Sports solar eco bag. Cabellas enclosure. Leave the bag on a rock during day almost gets to hot. Tried those cheaper bags and ran into leaks and problems.

    We have the Zodi Extreme Hot Shower unit. We've had the unit for 3 years now and it works great. We can get two showers per tank of water (Wet, Soap, Rinse).
    No problems with unit, very satisfied!

    I am a fan of keeping things real simple. I use a wet soapy wash rag to apply soap and scrub, and another wash rag to rinse off with.

    One advantage of being bald is I do not have to wash my hair

    I spent 6 months with the baby wipe system in Iraq circa 2003... No thanks!

    I have 2 setups...
    A) Stainless steel bug sprayer with rotating nozzle selector, works great, easy to carry & use and can help with dishes and other task

    B) The Sportsmobile has a flat plate heat exchanger that uses engine coolant to heat water and then a sureflow pump for the shower & sink. It has 16gal of water in the tank and you can control the temp easily. This one is amazing but you can use way too much water as you don't think about it like the bug sprayer method.

    Honestly I am fine with nightly baby wipes, then a more involved shower every 3 days or so.
