I'll second Al's choice. Over the past 30 years I've tried many of the different camp showers, and most have certain advantages. But without a doubt, the Zodi Extreme SC (stainless steel "garden sprayer" -type) is my all-round favorite. No special heater or sunshine required, most any substantial stove will work fine (but propane is fastest). No batteries, 12v supply, tubes or buckets are involved. And especially handy is that no over-hang mounting is needed (the tank is pressured after heating w/ a simple hand pump). I've even used mine at home when the city water system was under repair.
Handy Hint: Many camp showers (solar bags also) come equipped w/ a super-cheap push-pull shower spray valve end. These tend to fall into pieces at the most inconvenient times and are difficult to stop/start with soapy hands. Simply replace it with a push button spray end normally found on kitchen faucets, about $6 at HD/Lowes/WallyWorld. You'll find that the adaptation will conserve water and make showering easier.

Yes the Zodi pump 3 gal LP heated shower is a real joy. Jan and I shower in the middle winter. It even saved us from checking in to a motel when last winter our water supply line froze for three days. Everyone had a nice hot shower every morning. Attached is a pic in new photos. Al, Taxitab
