hi
i'd really like a hot horse shower but am on a livery yard with very little secure storage so my question is
how portable are the portable ones ?
how possible would it be to leave the trolley and the gas bottle at the yard and take the unit and the connections (ie the expensive parts) home and back to yard when needed , obviously it would be a shame not to have it at hand to wash sweat off or rinse the dog etc so would be used approx twice per month for show prep

how practical would this be ?
also what are your experiences with them , is there anything you would order different ?
is it worth getting the extra pieces of kit ? (i can't work out exactly what the extras are)
i have been looking at the showerking models as they seem to offer good customer follow up
and i am in no real hurry for it as unlikely to be out competing till after new year so is there likely to be any good deals on over the holidays or do they ever do promotions etc

any tips ideas welcome thanks :)

The whole thing is totally portable, mines a eccotemp water heater, attached to a board, all I do is disconnect gas and it separtes. Never had it on a trolley! honestly google tankless water heater or camping shower and you will find same unit! Mine was £40 off eBay from someone who opened the box who had intended to camp. Gas regulator was £8 and it's great!

I have the whole thing including large gas bottle mounted on a heavy duty sack trolley, it's fab as we wheel it in and out of the tackrom as needed, don't know what I would do without it now!

I have a showerking and its brill, take it to the field when reqiured takes all of a min to hook up to the trolley(old bag truck) gas and water and off to go, then disconnect and back to the house. As we use a water butt at the field I have to take a 12volt battery connected to a pump to get the water to the right pressure, best purchase ever.
