Shower Kits and Units

Q: What's the difference between the vehicle camping shower and the hot water system?

A: The vehicle camping shower has a 3 meter heating coil and is designed to deliver shower temperature water directly from the unit. The hot water system has a 4.5 meter coil and will deliver much hotter water. These units can be turned down for showers.

The Hot Water System has a 4.5 meter coil and will deliver much hotter water, these units can be turned down via an adjustable valve for showering.

Note: If You Have..
The Nissan patrol TDI
The Discovery TDI
Mercedes Sprinter TDI Vans
TDI Ford Transit
You will need to use the Hot Water System due to the reduced coolant flow!

Hot Water Systems are available in our Store. HERE

Q: Will fitting a heat exchanger affect my cabin heater?

A: No you cannot detect any difference in the output

Q: Series or parallel fitting?

A: While the average vehicle uses a valve to control the cabin heater, it its best to install the unit in parallel with the cabin heater. With the cabin heater turned off, all the water is available to the Heat Exchanger. This is the most efficient way of installing.

If you prefer, you can install the unit in series and use the cabin heater control to regulate the temperature. Some newer vehicles have a constant flow system and must be installed in series for the best results.

Q: How do I use the 12 V Pump/Shower set?

A: If you want to use the 12v pump directly from your vehicle, cut the hose above the pump leaving enough length to reach the water source. Push the hose attached to the pump onto the cold (blue) barb and attach the remainder of the hose and shower rose to the hot (red) barb.

Note: If you have a shower enclosure or wish to wash away from your vehicle, you can gravity feed fresh water from a drum or bucket on the bonnet through the heat exchanger into another container.

First burst of water will be very hot as this was trapped in the heat exchanger, water temp will drop to around 50-60 deg C and then be delivered continuously for showers etc.

Do not install the Heat Exchanger or hot water outlets inside the passenger compartment! All components should be under bonnet/ under car or on bumper bar.
