I had one of the Cabelas-branded shower/privies and found it heavy,
bulky, and a hassle to set up and break down. I looked at the unit
you're asking about, but I don't like vinyl (find it creepy, stinky, and
it is heavy) and didn't see any reason to get the inside rear of the van
wet. I now use an Outback Porta-Privy (also sold by Cabelas,
http://www.cabelas.com/link-12/pod/0032659.shtml ) and like it a lot.
Pops up quickly, breaks down quickly, packs small.
Neither the original Cabelas nor the Porta-Privy are tall enough nor
structurally sound enough to use a heavy hot bag of water in. I use a
Zodi Hot Tap and the Porta-Privy has a port low down on the rear side
for hoses. Works peachy.
