Yep... market the Hudson sprayer to the 'Expedition' masses.
Re-badge it as an essential survival tool, paint it dull grey, slap on a some 'ARB' stickers and have Aluminus make a rugged off road box to hold it.
:sombrero::sombrero::sombrero:My man...I think you are just about to get rich w/ that idea. Don't forget to put 'New and Improved' on the box. Should offer a Camo unit too. You might be able to get containers of them from China for a buck or two a unit.:victory:

Since we're off the OP's request, here's what us low tech old-timers use:
Heat some water, dump it in and pump it up. Also you'll find a lot of other uses for one, like cleaning dishes etc.
Great idea, this one looks promising (stainless, 2 gallon, set it on your stove to heat):

A Stovetop Shower option:

See Reviews on this Flash Heater unit. One fellow liked the ability to pump out of a Stream or 55 gallon drum for large groups:

How many gallons is the Zodi Extreme? I have the smaller cheaper red plastic box version, which hold 4 gallons, just wondering what this one holds.

The Zodi Extreme is awesome....... economical, not much that can break. I am a firm believer in keeping camping systems as simple as possible.
I reccommend upgrading the hose to have trigger control at the end point (This helps conserve water).
My wife and I can both take a hot shower and have hot water left in the tank for doing the dishes.

Solo also has a stainless steel sprayer.

Gempler's is known for not being the cheapest, so I bet this unit can be found for less.

I am liking the Solo unit. Here is the best price I found. Link
Anybody see any problems with heating these on a stove top? Any plastic parts to worry about?
I have no idea. My guess is the whole top is mostly plastic, but then that would be removed when heating. You could get a big dial thermometer for temperature monitoring when heating. Gempler's also sells them.
