Coleman Hot Water on Demand System  

Camping just got a whole lot easier with this ingenious hot water system. Using Coleman's portable propane container, this gadget turns cold water to ultra hot (or anywhere in between) instantly. You've got a convenient sink-style faucet that's useful when cleaning dishes and cooking supplies or even washing your hands.

Best of all you can get an optional shower head attachment. Hot showers in the great outdoors -- what could be better? Other options include a hose attachment, bulk propane adapter and the carrying case pictured at right. As the Hot Water on Demand unit is somewhat bulky and heavy, we heartily recommend spending the extra $30.00 for the sturdily constructed carrying case.

While it is necessary to read the instructions the first time, the unit is not hard to operate and delivers astounding results. A simple turn of the knob adjusts the temperature from cold to warm to hot, just as easily as you can just adjust temperature in your home. The pump is powered by rechargeable battery and you can heat 40 gallons of water on one Coleman 16.4 oz. propane bottle and a battery charge.

Included is a 5 gallon water container with hose that can be attached to the Hot Water on Demand unit, however, you can also conveniently immerse the pump in any large container to supply the water.
