Camping shower / water heater

[hemiarch]

Was looking for one of those. How long does it take to heat up on the trailer hitch and or the 12v supply? No AC option right?
Right angle design is kinda cool
Also, have you found a way to mount the spray nozzle and/or lock it in ON position if you want to take an actual shower?

this is correct!

What do we think of this one? Small enough?

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.

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.

Here's what I got:

heater stick with temperature control. This is important so you can walk away and not worry about the water getting too hot.

Also, I would suggest getting this instead of the rinsekit pro. Just buy a 5 gallon home depot bucket. A lot cheaper and better in my opinion. I was really happy with the shower head. it was easy to control how much flow you want depending on if you are trying to conserve water or not.

if the pressure pump is smart and can turn off when the water fixture is in the off position, you can just get a handheld shower with a stop valve built into the handle.

Super cool.
Is 1500w pretty quick to heat 3-4 gallons?

It took about 15mins to heat 5 gallons to 120°F. 120 is actually too hot. Be sure to lay the stick across the floor of the bucket outside the water at the bottom of the bucket will be cold, and that’s where the pump draws water from. Turn off the heater before entering the shower so there’s no risk of it running dry.

The amount of time it took to heat the water was another reason it made me want to get an on demand water heater, so everyone can shower quickly at once without the routine of filling the bucket and heating it in between showers.

I have both the Yakima Road Shower and one of these propane on demand hot water systems that we use when out on extended hunts in the backcountry.

Yes that’s small enough
