I've had both Twine & Glind, no real difference both work extreamly well. the bueaty of these is that you can draw water from a river to shower and also fill water drums or tanks.

Just spotted this one in the Melbourne Trading Post.

Shower Twine hot water for vehicle, new, complete with heat exchanger, pump, shower rose, brackets, etc. original price approx. $480, sell $350ono, (03)95611219 Glen Waverley ~

I have a McPauls. Works well.

A tip is to use decent size pump (sureflow) rather then the little 12v showers like Helton use.

I'm with Willem. I take 2 shower bags - this will do 4 bodies.

But I have seen a Primus gas unit that is independant of a vehicle. It has only just been released.

We have used Twine units in all our vehicles and they are really very good. You can get them in the Adventure Shop on this site. Go to Vehicle Shower Systems.

Helton also advertise on ExplorOz and sell excellent units. Have a look at Business Search and use keyword Helton.Regards

I use a cheap $25 shower from Jaycar. http://www1.jaycar.com.au
Stock Code YS2800.
Consists of a submergible 12v pump, hose and shower head, and a waterproof switch. The head has a flow control as well.
There are several types of this around, but the Jaycar one has a nice supple hose.
In summer, I heat the water in our solar shower, then transfer the water to a bucket, start up the pump and viola - warm shower. In cooler weather, I heat the water on the campfire. Two people can have a great shower from a 10L bucket, 3 or 4 if you're careful.

I use the old canvas bucket type with the adjustable shower head , I have made a bracket/arm that slips into the roof rack with a hook on the end we slip the foldout shower screen underneeth and raise and lower the shower on a rope , just heat up the water and away you go , nothing to brake down ,and only take seconds to set up.This is not my car anymore

I have been using the Twine system for 13 years and have had flawless perfomance from them. I now have Twines fitted into each of my Patrols and my Pathfinder.
I find that when I am on tour I may need to shower up to 20 people each evening, so I need something that is going to work time and again.
Also the Twine carries a 15 year no questions asked warranty on the heat exchange unit, not many products will do that any more.
100% copper, no plastic to crack or get heat affected and no "O" rings to leak.

For my money it is a Twine every time.Getabout 4WD Adventures

All the above offer excellent advice re heat exchange units ... if you're servicing many bodies, as in tour groups .. elsewise you must have 5* requirements and 400 or so dollaros you don't have anything better to spend on.

See previous comments on canvas bags or submersible pumps .. gotta be the way to go.Fidei defensor

Mate stick to the $20 submersible special..had onme for years ..went camping a while back weith a mate who spent a fortune on a twine thingo..his wife ended up coming ands asking if she could share our shower. its the old keep it simple stupid rule....

You may find the "Aussie Camp shower" site worth looking at .. I saw these demonstrated a while ago and thought they were quite good.
Aussie Camp Shower link.
Mind you ... I am a canvas bucket up a tree .. or at best/worst a 12v pump (Supercheap Autos) and a bucket of warm water traveller, but thought I could add to the confusion.
JackNo trees were harmed in the making or sending of this message.
However a great number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

I have been getting lazy of late.

Just boil the billy and pour a warm water mix into the galavanised bucket. Stand on an old cheap shop tarp( $3). Have a wash with soap and a rag. Rinse off. Use less than 2 litres of water and most of it falls back into the bucket for later use for washing dishes. Missus still likes the palstic shower however.
