Heat rises if you had a water source above the heater that should heat water higher up or have a outside tank and heat it with a weed burner or other heat source maybe.

I don't know there is a water heater without some kind of power to run a thermostat other than a turkey fryer and a pot. How do you plan on getting the water from the heater to the shower?

There is no plug going to LP heaters that I have ever used. The pilot goes down to pilot light when the temp is reached a push button ignition lighter requires no electric a guy could light the burner with a BBQ lighter.

I'm with Law Dog. I have a propane water heater in my house. It uses a push button striker to light the pilot. The pilot stays lit even without power. I also have a propane tankless at my camp and it uses D batteries for ignition so as long as I have water flow it works. It was very inexpensive as well.

I also have a propane tankless at my camp and it uses D batteries for ignition so as long as I have water flow it works. It was very inexpensive as well. I am just afraid, the 5 GPm type of D battery kind want have enough water pressure. And they all cut off = For safety at around 15 or 20 mins . So I would like to stay with propane that I could light. Then just blow out pilot light and turn off gas when I leave

Not knowing your set up so I’ll go with a primitive set up. A water source like a fuel tank upright should increase the pressure with a water heater below it so gravity feed, the more water the more pressure you would think also reducing the pipe might increase the pressure also as you get closer to the shower head.
Without constant water flow you would need to pump water up to the tank with a small generator and pump once full you would be good to go, if you have city water constant flow even better. You could tap hot off with a second faucet set up.
