Don't know much about it, saw one once and thought it would be a good solution. The website needs some work though.
Agreat solution to what? Dry floor in the sleeper.

Where would you use it? It looks too tall to use in the sleeper. It would certainly fit in the cargo box but most of the year you'd either freeze or sweat to death. Same problem in front of the bumper plus privacy issues.

What an amazing thing! We are looking into this. Wow! I hope it is as good as it looks. Sure wish they would get their website working.

That thing has been around for a while. I saw one once in a D truck in Tulsa OK. The guy would use it in his box and the water would drain out through a small hole in the floor that had a hinged cover on it and into a holding tank.

He was quite satisfied with it and thought it was more sanitary then a T/S shower.

I have seen that type of shower before. It is alright for a small person, but some of us bigger guys, it will just not work. Good idea though.

I would be concerned about mildew forming on the inside of the shower when it is folded up for storage after use.

One would need to wipe it dry after each use or leave it open to dry out naturally.

I'd expect this thing to get pretty funky inside. :D

we use a similar one at deer camp its propane heated with a 1 lb tank we hook up a 20lb tank to it...it doesnt have a built in floor...it works ok, kinda a heat on demand, gravity fed, sportmans guide,cabellas,etc sell them, after a week in the woods,you would think you are getting a shower at the holiday inn express. fastest shower you will ever take in 10 degree weather....surely men are at a dissandvantage, running from the shower to the tent to get dressed..

Here is a quote from a discussion on TruckNet about this shower:
 Ok it is 6'6" Tall ( basically if you can stand up in your sleeper you can use it, if you can't stand straight up, you will have to see a chiropractor often when you use the shower.

- its 30 inches in diameter, a circle fits most bunks.

-2, 6 gallon water tanks ( one for clean water other for waste ), so don't think you are gonna take long showers, you haVe to do military showers, basically get wet, shut off water, lather up, then turn water back on and wash water off.

-the pump plugs into a standard 12 volt outlet in the truck

-has built in 12 volt water heater

-very portable, weighs 20 lbs without water in tanks

- can fit under bunk or on one side of your bunk, when shut like a suitcase its 8 inches high and 30 inches wide.

I hear it works really well and save loads of time.
