Looks like watersticks has discontinued the larger RV water softeners and only sells the shower kit. I shot them an email and they said they are having trouble keeping up with shower demand and RV filters have been discontinued. But the shower one is just a smaller version of the RV and likely could be used as a small RV unit, just would need more often recharging. I like the waterstick versions because they are small and so easy to recharge, fill with salt water, roll around on the ground and let sit, flush.

Thanks for checking; bummer on being discontinued.
The "On the Go" unit I bought is good, just larger. It also uses table salt for regeneration. These fit more on full hook-ups as they are larger and last longer, but they are good units. They just take up more room in the truck bed, heavier but still manageable, and due to the size and weight, a little more to deal with to fill 34-gallon fresh water for onboard tank camping. https://www.portablewatersoftener.com

When we were looking, it was a choice between the "on the go" and "waterstick". Waterstick was smaller and lighter and easier to handle, On the go higher capacity and heavier. Wanting something that would easily lay down in the pass through the water stick won. Glad my brother and I got them a few years ago before they were discontinued. IIRC the larger waterstick and on the go were comparabily priced so on softening capacity the on the go also wins.
