Road Shower 2: That's cool. I really like the way the hose clips to the side, but I would like it to loop back around the other side as well to have double the hose length. That would be the only thing that I would change.

It was a universal rack I bought for 80 bucks and fabbed it to work with my Ram Boxes.

There are a lot of solutions out there I'd love to see what people are using and their impressions. Since I carry propane have water tank and 12v pump I was considering something like this:

I made a hiding spot. It also keeps the dust out.
Can't make it through the day? Back up, and get a run at it!

With this type of water heater, what happens to water temp if you turn water flow off and on during your shower? Does it remain pretty constant or does it get too hot? Seems like a good solution.

When water stops, gas turns off. It senses water flow and turns back on when water is turned back on. 2 D batteries supply power for the igniter. Very cool set up. For my sink, I have no cold water set up. I just adjust temp on heater. For cold water, just turn it off. Simple simple

@mitchandbuck - Seems like a really simple and easy design. Does the unit require the pressure from a hose connection to work?
The jolca hottap system is very popular here in Australia.
Looks very similar to the marey system in the OP.

Synergy makes a kit that I have been considering that uses vehicle coolant and a heat exchanger for heating the hot water. Thought it would be cool since it requires no extra fuel source. http://www.synergymfg.com/Synergy-Sit-Shower-Shave-Kit-p-30485.html

Synergy is awesome. Terrific heat exchanger system.
Mine is set up with a water pump and pressure diaphram. I have a 30 gallon tank under trailer deck. I used the stainless steel wrapped hoses ( like youd find for sink supply lines) and from pump to heater i used a washing machine stainless steel hose. Items can be easily picked up at hardware store on the road if theres a failure.
Kegsy, is that the diesel powered water heater?
