Vehicle Shower

Water is the single most precious commodity you need to carry for your trip. Although heavy, we need to carry it for drinking, cooking and washing.

Hi Team,
I have procured a Glind shower kit.

Does anyone have suggestions on the neatest - easiest place to mount the heat exchanger and pump in the above troopy?

I've pondered and looked this afternoon. It's a busy engine bay with the factory TD and a dual battery tray!

I mounted the HE on the firewall on the passenger side and the pump is behind the left hand headlight.

MM your email address and I will send you a few photos.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the offer.

I'm well aware of the dangers regarding scalding and vehicle heat exchanger showers.

Years ago the mates and I used to make our own exchangers out of 3" SS tube and a copper coil.

I have a Helton kit which I have removed from my previous vechicle.
I was also looking at where to fit my exchanger and pump today.
I might mount the exchanger on the bracket the holds the radiator overflow reserve, and the pump beside the batteries front left same as preious response, I've still got to fit the 12V Redarc was thinking the firewall and other odds and ends to fit under the hood, fuse box etc
Mine is a N/A 78Series.

Geoff,

Heat exchanger on mine is located next to radiator and behind headlight on passenger side. It is also mounted vertical.
The pump is not fitted under the bonnet but is a remote unit that is on the end of 30mt of hose.

Because of the time that the shower has to be running it is better to take the pump to the water rather that the water to the pump.
