vehicle shower

Hi Troll, did you buy or make your setup as I have been told that they are fairly simple to make ??

Regards John.

Hey John,

I have a Twine under my bonnet and the missus love it

Have a look here

TWINE

Ours cost about $20 from BCF, and as patrol said, heat some water, put into a bucket mixed with some cold and hava shower. I purchased 5 mtrs of twinflex cable from bunnings, a couple of dog clips, and am then able to set up the shower well away from vehicle and or CT. Works a treat, don't have to run the vehicle.

Sorry Just ignor what I asked,you beat me by 60 seconds LOL!

G'day Michael,

Not sure why you've recommended the hot water unit, rather than the shower unit? Could you please explain your thoughts....

I have a Helton shiower unit. This was a replacement for the Twine unit I had on my previous rig. The Chev motor takes up a bit more space than the 4.2 did , so I needed the versatility of the Helton. What I reckon sets the Helton apart from the Twine and the Glind, is the fact that you can specift where you have the inlets/outlets. In my case, all 4 are on the same end. This enables me to locate the exchanger in a position that would have been impossible with the Twine. Add to this, the fact that the unit is only about 3/4 the length of the Twine and still heats the water up just as quickly, and I believe it is the best option.

I just bought the heat exchanger from Helton and sourced the Shurflo from Whitworths. I've located the pump in behind the wing of the bullbar and have 2 standard "O" ring hose fittings on the bullbar.

Howdy Bill, Ya must have stumped him. Another vote for Helton here.

Gday Bill, I had another post here ,,, somewhere,(its missing) that mentioned that another reason the helton may be better is that it has all the fittings are on one end , so you can slip it into a corner, as you say,, I mentioned the hot water unit because of the fact that most diesel engines run cooler. Helton owners have mentioned on this site that the shower model model are not hot enough with a diesel engine.. I also mentioned,,, (somewhere here) that it was only 200mm long instead of 300mm..

Roachie! My other post was in post #67692, i thought i was losing it there for a while!! I mentioned there and agree, Helton are compact. I also mentioned above about being shorter, it makes a difference in a modern vehicle with limited space.. regards Michael

Heres the cut and paste.......Michael ( Moss Vale NSW) posted:
Ian,
Pirhana unit is similar to Glind but it only has 4 bolts around the outside not six like the Glind.. This may have changed .. It looks to me to be the old Glind tooling from long ago but i could be wrong. Glind is still Glind and Pirhana is another company.. The Helton is worth looking at at 200mm long and you can have all the fittings on one end if you like.. you can mount it in a corner somewhere, The Twine is 300mm long and fittings on both ends which makes it huge and hard to fit in most modern vehicles. Michael.
