My wife just ordered one for me, for my birthday (April 16)! $399 from vm innovations inc. No tax either! Free Shipping!

During the course of this entire topic, I keep remembering from my childhood a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I did a quick Google search and found the image. Does this kind of remind you something?

When you get it please give us an update and the ins and outs of it..thinking of getting something small for home

Here ya go Bucky Badger! It arrived today, took about 45 minutes from box to completely set up (not knowing what I was doing and even watching the video). And it's filling with water now (almost full).

Actually, our laundry room is just off the family room, so I attached a garden hose to the hot water side of the washing machine faucet and started filling the tub. The water is NOW high enough the pump is running heating the water. A 30 gallon water heater doesn't put out THAT much hot water. BUT, it put out enough I could get in the tub and try it out! It's running right now as we are watching television (actually... watching "The Profit" on Hulu right now).

My first impressions.... VERY easy to set up, and I imagine, take down is just as easy. To drain, I'll just attach the same garden hose and run it out the front door into the yard.

It's now full, took about 45 minutes to fill it. Water is filtered through our house water filter system and water softener. The pump is very quiet.

About campgrounds, I think this small tub is a non-threat! It's small enough it would fit in the bed of my pick-up truck! I could then just drive it off the campsite, pull the plug and let the water drip on the road as I drive. No different than water in the bed of one's truck after a heavy rain or winter snow! (I'm just pipe dreaming now ... don't take that serious please).

Anywhere. Here ya go!
