The camp shower has been tested! No one wanted to brave the back yard, so it was set up in the bathroom for a few days ... hot water system, jerry can, gas bottle, pump, battery and battery charger!!
We went around in circles for a while trying to choose a hot water system. One major factor was to choose how much money we wanted to invest into it and whether we thought some of the conveniences were worth the big bucks!
We decided upon an instant, portable hot water system. That way we can use it with our trailer for washing up and also move it to the shower tent for a nice hot shower. It heats up 30 degrees C above ambient.
Our trials in the bathroom have been a success. It didn't get packed away until every person enjoyed the pleasure of the system. Water sat in a jerry can, was pumped into the unit, which is attached to a gas bottle and instantly hot water comes out of the nozzle ... amazing - and you don't even have to ignite the gas and it even turns itself off when you release the nozzle!!
The brand as you can see in the photo we chose was Red Rock. There were other similar, cheaper brands from the USA, but the three year warranty and dealing with people from our own country won us over. You can find them on Ebay. They have a set price or "make an offer". I recommend making an offer - they do accept.
