We got this to replace the Outdoor Master shower stall we were using previously, and even though it didn't need replacing yet, we really liked the features this stall had, like the built-in light and integrated shower reservoir space. It also drains really well which was an issue we'd sometimes run into with our old stall. Setup is slightly more involved but nothing too complex and it even came with a high quality bag for transport which was a nice added bonus. I think the light is probably my favorite part of this stall and it sure beats hanging a small lantern inside our old one. The materials feel quite durable, everything fits together well and feels sturdy and overall, it's a really nice shower stall that's very thoughtfully designed. If you're serious about camping and don't want to shower in the often filthy public restrooms, this is a great option that, while a little pricey, is definitely worth it for how well designed and well made it is.

I am a big fan of this portable camping shower. It is probably the best one I have out of the 6 or 7 propane units I currently own.

A few things to not, it doesn't have the longest battery life but that is to be expected because it uses quite a bit of power. The key thing is convenience. Another thing is they also make a shower tent and it goes hand and hand with it making for the perfect outdoor shower experience if your goal is to be covered up of course. I own my land and most land I explore so the tent is unnecessary for me and my guests in almost all cases.

It also uses smaller propane bottles 1lb propane bottles which are easier to travel with and make this a premier unit.

Reasonably easy to set up, works just fine free-stand for whatever you need to do in there. We are using ours for a changing room and a little bit of privacy. We are not using it for a shower. We needed some modesty when being with a group, so rather than trying to hide behind a bush, we started to use this simply to change and stuff. Easy enough to put together and throw in the back of the subaru.

I finally had the chance to use the Kakadu portable camping shower for an entire week during a truck camping trip and I can't say enough about the quality and workmanship of it. I started with a full battery charge and a full 1lb propane bottle and could probably go another week without worry of running the battery down, or running out of propane.
The description says that 5 gallons of water will last for a 10 minute shower and I found that to be pretty accurate. Turning it on is simple. Push the power button, hit start and the pump begins to flow while the propane ignites. Hot water comes almost instantly when you turn it on and you can adjust the water flow by either adding or removing the internal water restrictor at the shower head which is described in the manual. What I've found is that by removing the restrictor, the shower flow is much nicer, and the water can heat up about 40 degrees from the inlet temp. So what I did was turn the shower on, point the shower head into my water supply bucket to warm it up from about 55 degrees to 70 (which takes about 2 1/2 minutes.) Now that my supply water was 70 degrees, I started my shower which easily climbed to 110 degrees at the output and it was perfect! Lots of hot water and a good flow. With the water restrictor removed, I got about 7 minutes of nice hot shower with 5 gallons of water.
Because of the size, the whole unit is easy to transport in a camper or truck and 1lb bottles of propane are readily available. Also included is a 12 volt charger with a lighter socket plug and long cable so you can charge the battery from the vehicle while you drive and since it's 12 volts, could also be charged with a solar panel set-up.
Looking at the shower, you can see the quality and attention to detail in the design. This will last through many years of traveling and camping. I'll always keep it ready to use as an emergency shower as well. You never know when you'll lose power, and this shower will provide nice hot showers if the grid goes down. I definitely recommend this shower and give it a full 5 star review. The quality and workmanship are top notch. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great quality, very sturdy shower/potty tent. Much larger than the typical "pop up" kind. I am 5'9" and I don't have to bend down to walk through the door opening (I took a picture of me standing in the doorway, and a side by side of this tent next to a cheaper pop up tent so you can see the height difference). I like the integrated lights that you can power with AA batteries or a rechargeable power bank. My two favorite features are the sturdy metal hook for a shower wand and the covered towel strap. You can have your towel in the shower with you and it stays completely dry. Genius. It also comes with a string with a plastic bar for hanging toilet paper. Comes with a separate fabric piece with pockets so you can have everything you need, shampoo, soap, etc off the floor of the tent and easily accessible.

Now for the nitty gritty. This is not a quick set up for one person. Totally doable but will be faster and easier with two people. The poles for the main part of the tent are integrated so it is an "instant up" type tent since you don't have to thread poles through pockets or loops. If you plan to attach the rain fly, I recommend draping it over the top before you extend the legs since the tent is tall once the poles are extended and the middle is pushed up into place. There is small standard type tent pole for the "outback shower" area and it's a bit tough to attach but also not necessary if you don't have that type of shower unit. Since it's got the black out feature, you might need light to attach the floor to the corners of the inside of the tent. It's definitely dark even with the door open and the little windows open.

For us, unless we are camping for at least 3 nights, this will be too much work and we'll probably just use the pop up. But for an extended trip this will be worth the little extra work to have all the features you don't get with a cheaper pop-up potty tent.

All in all, a great investment for all our future camping endeavors.

It's nice new products are being made but who is better will determine how fast water gets hot and water consumption and price maybe someone will do a review on both but I like to use a gallon of water in bucket to wash off and then shower off a 2 gallon shower

Fantastic heater shower!

Easy to handle when you travel.

Good when you have AC connection.

One of the drawbacks to camping or going on an off road adventure for amount of time is being able to take a shower. Sponge bathing is fine for a few days at most, then you really need a hot shower to get properly clean! This is the primary reason I ordered this incredibly designed unit. I just don't want the typical camping shower with cold water, I want a hot shower and this shower unit delivers it quickly. I also like that it is capable of using larger sizes of propane canisters/tanks by simply adding an adapter. However, the smaller 1 lb. canister delivers up to 4 hours of hot water for shorter trips, with the battery lasting around 2 hours. Then it does need recharging. I LOVE the options! Kakadu truly engineered this product so well that they back it up with a 3-year warranty. I believe this is truly one incredible product that anyone who buys it will enjoy.

I just received the bivy tent, which I would like to say was delivered in a timely manner. I set it up and was amazed at the ease of set up and the time to set up.Anyone looking for a one person bivy on a budget will be satisfied and impressed with this product. Can't wait to take it out into the
Ohio woods thie coming spring. Thanks for a well thought out one person tent for camping,hunting or for a quick pitch shelter to take a nap after a long hike in the woods!!!

Australians always seem to have the best overlanding gear! And this shower tent is no exception. First off, it's a lot more expensive than some of the super flimsy pop up privacy tents on Amazon. But in this case, you really do get what you pay for. This tent feels like it's going to last for a very long time.

Make sure to watch the setup videos before you go out camping with it. I wouldn't say it's especially difficult, but it's just different. The poles stay attached to the tent material which makes the process a lot simpler, and I think once I have done it a few more times I will get the hang of it. I think you can skip the rain fly -- since it's a shower, and especially if you don't need the guy lines tied out. Also, if you don't have the Kakadu portable shower machine, you don't really need to set up the side part where the shower unit is meant to go. But I guess that depends on your setup. It does have a floor panel that you can install too, but I think I would maybe prefer to get some kind of a portable raised platform to stand on.

Overall I'm extremely impressed with the build quality of this tent and the thought that went into it. There are some really nice details like the rack on the outside to dry your camp towel and the ventilation and window opening. I believe this is a company that has been around for a long time in Australia but they have only recently started selling gear in the US. I have been eyeing their portable shower system (instant hot water and pump unit) but at this time it doesn't have any reviews, and it's a bit pricier than their competitors -- but if this tent is an example of their quality then the price may very well be justified. I'll probably break down soon and buy it before my next camping / overlanding trip.

If you are looking at the price of this tent and wondering if it's worth the cost, I can say I definitely understand the hesitation. But I can also say that I think this is likely the last shower tent I will ever need. I will be surprised if it doesn't last for many, many years.

We love ours. Gets hot quick .

I have only tried it once, but it seems to be solid and worked as expected. I recommend the bag so you can have all the components in one sturdy bag.

Perfect fit to have all components together in one sturty bag.
