Does anyone know if there is anything of this nature that’s non-propane? We have a beefy 240v supply in our trucks and it seems like we should be able to heat water without having to burn anything.

search Amazon, lots of electric options, price range and temp options.

I would guess some small electric on-demand water heater (they put them under sinks) would probably work well.

this is correct!

I just use cheap Chinese stuff. I don't personally like having water containers I can't carry, so I just heat a rotopax for like 120s then swap to the pump. Suctions right onto the stainless no problem and costs like, $60? Also works fine in a bucket, stream, or large tank if you have one.
pump: https://amzn.to/3R9oBT7
heater: https://amzn.to/3RD36Kw (careful with this badboy, it heats FAST)

I tried this setup last week. It indeed works well, but it's more time consuming than I would like to fill a bucket with water, then wait 10-15 minutes for it to heat up. I had a soft bucket which collapses great for compact travel, but is also prone to collapsing when in use full of hot water, lol. I had a shower tent and connected the handles of the bucket to the top of the tent with a bungee cord and that mostly mitigated the spilling bucket issue. Obviously a hard bucket would be much easier but that takes up a lot of space in the bed.

I think an on-demand tankless hot water heater with a large water bladded ond pump would be the ideal setup and am going to work toward that. This though was a good solution in a pinch.

25 Gallon On-demand rinse kit Launched today, $399 in stock and will get more/better pics tomorrow! I hour installation, installs out of the box assembled in a n hour.

It's a neat solution to mount this under the bed. Are you using the existing drain in the smugglers bay to route the tubing or are you making additional penetrations?
An install guide or video would be helpful to understand what's involved to install this.

That is correct. We use the drain in the smugglers bay. We have a video that’s getting edited right now and will be up next week. It is very easy installation that can be installed by the average Joe within two hours.

With respect to the Cybertruckco system which I really dig, how does one clean a bladder like that to keep it from getting gross? Also, is it possible to recirculate the water to get it up to comfortable shower temp? What I mean by that is if you have the inline water heater empty the water back into the bladder, theoretically at least the temp of the water in there should go up and then be easier for the inline to get up to temp the next go around.

My goal was "budget"

I'm using a rinse kit now with the little stick heater. I also prefer a closed system.

I just bought a rinsekit pro from Costco. What stick heater do you use?

 

[hemiarch]

Two on my shortlist are :

Nice because of the built in thermostat.
Also 120v so can be plugged into plugs that are not the truck.

or
https://a.co/d/8JZt7vo
Probably at least 50% faster and uses the 240v ability our trucks have but harder to find 240v places to plug in. Also, thus far can’t find one that has a built in thermostat.

It's the one that rinse kit used to sell but I guess it's discontinued now. But the rinsekit pro has a wide mouth, so any stick heater should work.
