I just put one on GB! I built the setup myself from a few parts.

I'll need to use a 5 gallon water bottle for Daphne's showers. Can you ramp up the temp so you can make some coffee or tea with it??

THe general idea is that you pump it out of a bucket and back into the bucket till it's the temp you want. (About 5 minutes for 5 gallons) Then you turn the hose on yourself and have about 5 minutes of hot water. If you get the truck close enough to a water source, and fiddle with the idle speed and flow rate you can have unlimited hot water till you run out of gas....

As for water for tea or coffee, theoretically it'll get as hot as your engine +/- 190..... That should about do it!

So A "hot spring" at camp is not impossible then is it?? Inflatable pool, a few aquarium bubblers(or chili bean dinner) and a couple naked chicks and you're there right?? Bottle of wine, some of Russ' oysters, tiki torches and some music...... I can see it in my head but sadly.....I'm not in the picture anywhere.
