These work well in weather other than winter. I tried one last winter, the water was still very cold, after a full day of sun. I think I'll get a Zodi setup for my winter trip this year. I can attest to the strength of these 'sunshowers' - when I was touring Costa Rica in one of Siesta Campers' Westies this spring, we had the water bag just tossed up in the luggage area to heat. One day I had a reason to brake VERY hard, and the bag became airborne, landed way ahead of me in the road with a big 'SLAP', and then I ran over it and popped the stopper, water everywhere! Would you believe NO DAMAGE? Pretty sturdy, IMO! Karl
