bush showers

Yep, I'm with you Truckie,

Not restricted by distance from vehicle because it has its own set of batteries. And nothing wrong with recycling the water, or heating it on the fire first. Easy as!

If it's too cold to swim we just stinck together.

LOL ya beat me to the cheapest and probably most luxurious option. Well done :)

Depends on how many you are trying to shower.

I have probably used the majority of known showers , and made a few of mine own over the years.

Sure , boiling water , solar bag etc , are good for 1 or 2 people.

Providing showers for 6 brings a WHOLE new set of problems , that I have found is best suited by a vehicle shower.

I see your point Flappa.

You got a washing machine hooked up to that Baz.

Good idea though. Does it just run off your gas bottle ?

Shouldn't be too hard to get it hooked to the sink.

How is it on gas consumption?

What do you use for a water supply? Does it have a pump?

Must say I have wondered about that type of thing.

Ok so tell us more! Like what are the dimensions (looks like it's in a trailer) and weight. Also does it have a pilot light and how quickly does it heat from cold start?

Kind regards

Yep runs off one of 9kg bottles on the trailer, and no Graeme no washing machine.

Don't know the weight off hand, it's very light though, lighter than the Coleman and the Primus.

Our CT water tank is the supply and we have a shurflow 60psi pump, this is critical as it has to have a minimum of 40psi pressure to run and has to have water in the exchanger to start.

Gas consumption is good about the same as a stove and has a pilot light and as you turn the water on and the temp up, the burners cut in, it has 4 burners and when you stop the water it goes back to the pilot lightonly.

It's 62cm tall, 22cm wide and 20cm deep approx, about the size of a jerrycan, only half as wide.

We have used it 3 times now and it's just like showering at home, well almost.

We were lucky as it was a factory second and was $324 from Caravan accessories/Camec.

A workmate has one of these in his home, the natural gas version of coarse.

Baz , is it mounted inside the CT ?

How is it legally ?

Not that I care what YOU do with it , but interested anyway.

I guess these are the same/similar that can be used at home (on bottled gas) , or RV/Cvan HW heaters ?

It is designed for caravans and campers and as long as it is installed by a licenced plumber/gas fitter it is perfectly legal and it is well ventilated, which it is as it is not used unless camper is open.

Yes, they also are availible in 240v and natural gas for home.

Baz is getting a water bed to keep the supply up to it :)
