We are going to fit 12 volt shower system to our 80 series Landcruiser GXL with a 1HZ engine, the issue we have which one. I have done some research and have decided on 3 makes. They are Piranha, Bushranger and the Twine. We are hoping that some of you travellers have these makes fitted, and to have some
feedback to help our decision easier. All suggestions and ideas will be taken on board, as we would like to have one fitted within 2 weeks.
For those who will take the time to reply, we THANK YOU very much in advance.
Happy Travelling.
Allan & Andrea

Allan and Andrea
I did a lot of research into this and decided on a Helton.
In my opinion, and from the research I did, the three you mention and Glind all appear to work ok but are primarily built to a price in comparison to the Helton.
Helton has different models and make units with a larger thermal transfer area which I wanted. The prices are comparable , even cheaper and the construction is much more robust. In addition they will custom make them to your requirements.
They make a shower unit which is like the others mentioned, and a hot water unit which is much hotter and a bit bigger.
Take a look at them too. It looks like they put more money into the product than in the advertising.
Usual discalaimer. No interest, just chose them after a lot of research and a specific need to have all inlets and outlets at one end and hotter than normal for my 200 ( which has a low coolant temp).
If you don't have specific needs and the coolant is hot then they will all probably do the job though.

Hi Allan and Andrea,
There is a portable 12V bilge pump 25L shower unit advertised in the Explore OZ
classifieds section which looks really good. Look under camping supplies. I know the guy that makes them and it is a high quality unit.
