Good people
I must come out in favour of the Coleman Hotwater system.
We have used many of the above mentioned methods in years of camping. All served a purpose and we were happy with each of them.
Now that the bride is 50  (keep it to this forum) we have a Coleman.
Had been lusting for it quite some time.
I wasn't happy to pay the $395.
Annaconda had a sale recently where I got the Heater unit, a carry bag, shower rose, and a spare 6v rechargeable battery for $32o driveaway no more to pay.
Used it 2 weekends ago for kitchen and shower water.
IT WAS SENSATIONAL
I am very much in the goodbooks with the bride and we are now planning more camping excursions than I had ever dreamed off.

G'day TBF, I have one of the Coleman job's as well. What I do when I need a shower is put the required amount of water in a dish (about 10l) put the suction end and the rose in the dish and recirculate the water until the reqd. temp is reached then hang up the rose stand in the dish and have a long a shower as you wish. You only just turn the dial so the pump starts but does not ignite. Then the next one has a tub. If the water cools off a bit recycle again for a minute or two.
I found it used to get too hot if I pumped direct from a container of water and we used too much of the same.
It is handy if near a creek or dam though just throw the suction end into the drink & away you go  Smiley

Regards Skip

That's a great idea Skip

Particularly if you are unable to carry many litres of water with you or you are in arid parts of this country. Recycle as you camp.
The bride and I get away with about 12 litres between us at present.
