Yeah, I have/had a Road Shower 4S (for sale in another thread actually) but it's not a guaranteed
hot shower. Many days it'd be lukewarm at best. I lived out of this rig for three years and had way too many days where my choice was a freezing shower or just not be clean. Usually I chose the polar option and got really good at taking 30 second showers. That got really, really old though.
Pics of how I have this set up currently, I've experimented with a few different locations for everything but this is where they're at today. I wouldn't say I'm entirely happy with this setup, access is a nightmare and I don't like how low the pump is mounted. The inlet/outlet port locations are also specific to my rig. Any product I'd end up selling would put these in different places for sure.
The pic from my first post shows the heat exchanger itself. The heater lines run through that area so it was relatively convenient, but making a bracket for it to mount against the firewall was "fun". I also ended up needing to remove the intake resonator to make room. These are both things I'd fix in any bolt on kit, you shouldn't have to modify your intake to install a shower.

Tempering valve so I don't burn myself (that water gets hot!):
Inlet and outlet ports. I've got covers I put over them when they're not in use:
