1/2slab
Has anyone seen or had an idea of a water heater/heat exchanger that
you can just throw on a single burner? Maybe a copper coil etc.

1/2 slab, there use to be a company in
Townsville that manufactured a similar system called the ' SCUD ', it's an aluminium coil that is housed in an round aluminium case & placed over the gas burner, i saw it at the
Brisbane caravan & camping show a couple of years ago, so i am not sure if it is still around, you could try ringing a couple of camping stores in
Townsville, they may know, regards, Dave.

It was from
Cairns actually. Geo Pickers Camping & Canvas (also in
Cairns) stock them.

I built a shower heater for around $150. Consists of a 20litre tank with a coil of copper tube inside. Tank is fitted under vehicle & the tubing runs along the chassis rail & joins into the heater system on the engine.
Another heater tap is used which is turned on while driving half an hour before stopping to
camp.This was suitable for 4 people to have a nice shower up to an hour after stopping. Dont need engine running. Dont rely on sunshine & dont have to light a fire. I can supply more info if you are interested. Just email me ok. Lee.
