Wife and I normally use park showers,, For the reason you cited. (And they are also a bit larger in most cases and neither of us is a "Small")..
Both Gas and Electric, if that is an option and yes, wait at least 30 minutes between showers, An hour if you can't double power.
Also,,, The salesman told us about the cut off valve on the shower head... Guess what.. Does not exist.. So I put a shut off valve on the mixing valve outlet (They can go at either end of the hose and by putting it there it does not bother the bracket) (NOTE 2: Telephone type shower, if you have a fixed head put it at the base of the head on the "Arm" pipe) this originally was a 1/2 inch PVC valve with a close nipple for the hose to attach to but I finally got a chrome plated "Shower" cut off valve.. this valve lets water drip a bit, which helps to avoid a bit of shock when flow resumes (you open the valve) but the big thing is it looks like it belongs there instead of the big plastic thing (PVC ball valve) I used to have. This allows Navy showers as they are called and greatly increases the supply of hot.
