Recirculating the cold water from the (cold) hot water line back to the tank before the hot water gets to shower head is a big deal for most campers to save water, esp boondockers. This is a more critical point for me.
I just got used to taking cold showers in Spring and summer. After the first two it is no big deal, think about you washing your hands in cold water without discomfort. Saves water, but also saves huge amt of propane so I can go over a month on one 20lb tank just using for fridge and stove.

Tis not for everyone I know.
