I just ordered this RinseKit for my camping gear:

https://rinsekit.com/collections/limited-time-deals/products/rinsekit-pro-immersion-heater-bundle

To my surprise it fits in the gear tunnel or the front trunk. With 12V power near the gear tunnel or also in the frunk (for those so equipped). Comes with a small battery to run the pump. The heater comes with cables to power it from 12V outlets or the hitch connector.

I recently removed the pump and water heater out of the back of my camper so trying this as a replacement. The pump seems to work well but I will need more time to evaluate the heater. (note that the link is for the bundle but both are available separately).

Update: Thanks to the tip from @sean_k I returned the 12V heater from Rinsekit and bought the following immersion heater that works great in early testing:

That’s pretty cool - especially the 4-6 month battery life.

I would fill it with bourbon.

I snagged one of these recently from Costco for a nice deal. No heater on mine, but it's still such a big upgrade from washing myself only with wet wipes on longer trips.

The pressure is high enough to get heavy mud off my mountain bike too while still at the trailhead, which is a big plus as well.

Your local Costco might have a pallet of RinseKit Pro models for $189.99. Not sure if I'm gonna keep the one I bought.

That's a good price. Looks like with the heater being sold $180 separate it would still be cheaper at Costco. Haven't really tried the heater yet except confirming it pulled 120W. Hope to try it out this weekend.

Lemme know how the heater goes. If it's worth it I might snag one too. I'll be using mine Mon-Weds of next week for an MTB trip.

You heat up your bourbon?!

When you say it out loud like that it doesn’t sound as nice.

I guess I want the non-heating option for my bourbon shower.

Well apparently that is what Costco has, also sure you could buy a 3.5 gallon jug of bourbon there!

Lucky people that live in states where Costco can sell alcohol, but to your point, I probably don't need gallons of bourbon.

Big win for the rinsekit! Super muddy ride yesterday. Was able to spray off two bikes plus rinse off enough mud on us so we could change clothes. Bought a few weeks backs during the costco discount.
Don't like the handle. Best to fill while the box is already in the frunk

i have the rinse kit cube and it fits perfectly in the gear tunnel. i use a cheap $20 amazon immersion heater plugged into the 120v outlet and it heats up the water to 100° in about 10 minutes:

Great idea! Just ordered this one with 50% off

This is a great idea. I used the Rinsekit heater and it does work but at 150W it takes hours instead of minutes. In a hurry I just boiled some water on my induction cooktop and poured it in.
