Tankless Shower system

[finsty]

Hey guys,

I'm getting ready to head out for 5+ weeks on the road and am wanting a shower system a bit more plush than my current solar shower setup.

My camper (FWC Eagle Shell) does not have a hot water heater or a water pump. I am wanting to go with a tankless hot water heater that attaches to my 10 gal propane tank and a 12 volt pump that I run a house from the source.

I was curious if anyone has any good recommendations for a similar setup. If anyone has pictures of how they run there's, that would be great as well.

Thank you!

Truma makes a good tankless WH, but they ain’t cheap. You might be better off looking at something like a Zodi.

I have posted about a tankless water heater several. Try doing a an advanced search and see if anything pops up.

I also recall seeing pictures of a sweet rig here with a ecotemp mounted on the rear driver's side in a lockable alum box. Not sure whose camper that is...

Thanks for the info and thread links guys. The Zodi looks like a good setup. Do you know if there is a way to attach it to a standard propane tank? Would save having to buy the small canisters and is one less thing to bring..

We run a Zodi on a 4' hose with an accessory 2 gal propane tank. Same setup as my BBQ.
Zodi Extreme model we have came with a tripod/burner and a padded case. I made a wind shield out of a piece of aluminum siding. It takes about 7-10 mins to heat. I like the heat sensitive indicator.

Luxury setup is a springloaded popup tent with astro-grass doormat for a floor, and 2 gals of 110F water; which is just enough for two campers. We anchor the tent at the top for windy conditions.

Zodi lists an adapter on their site.

I carry a Mr Heater Boss XB13 battery powered water heater. It works pretty well. If the water is really cold you have to recirculate a bit back into your source bucket. I carry a collapsable bucket for the source water. Drop hose in the bucket and the battery pumps water through the heater (uses 1lb propane bottles) to the attached shower head. I like the fact that it fits nicely in the space between the back door and the side dinette bench.

This one is similar to mine but looks like you can plug it into your 12 volt plug.
