I bought this recently for a camping trip in the desert where there are no facilities. Honestly, I'd never even heard of a "shower tent" before until I was searching around amazon.com looking for anything that could help make the trip more enjoyable since I would be tent camping for 5 days. I'm really glad I bought this and it was so nice to be able to take a "real" shower while hanging out in the boonies.
I did the trial set-up at home (highly recommend) and when I got to the camp site, I had this thing up in 15 minutes. I did have to use the guy lines to help stabilize it but I think that was because the ground wasn't completely level. I didn't use the rain cover at first, but in the end, decided to put it on because it seemed to add stability to the unit. Also, I didn't think I'd need to use the floor because I was on sandy desert ground...but I should have put that on because I was soon squishing in silty-slippery sandy desert mud in no time. Live and learn.
The included 5-gallon solar shower is great, but I found that filling it all the way up was a little much for the time of year and amount of sun available...my first shower was cold! But subsequent days, with less water in the bag, the temp was just fine. However, keep in mind that these types of shower bags are still gravity-fed, so you'll be bending over to get your head wet, body rinsed, etc. I think for the next trip I'll add a hot-water-on-demand-shower-pump to my car-camping gear.
Overall, great product, well made, sturdy and easy to assemble on my own sans help from hubbie. Keep in mind, though, this is a heavy piece of equipment and likely not something you want to hike-in with for any great distance. Great for car-camping, though.
