anyone ever used this type of portable tankless water heater for camping, runs off propane, 80-150F temp adjustable, 1 gallon of hot water per minute?

Way cheaper than the Coleman unit I have. And yes, looks like a great candidate for a trailer build.

Somewhat related, I have a Rinnai tankless unit in the house, and love it.

I have on and it works great. The shower head has four different settings. Be sure you get a pump large enough to handle the proper water flow or the heat will not go on. There is no lag in the heat once the initial water is heated. A good little unit for the price. I think I payed $116 for mine at Sportsman's Guide.

Keeping up the water supply as you wash is the trick with these. Having the jugs and pump to feed them is what'll be the ticket.

I bought a portable shower rig from SG a few years back that lets you suspend a solar shower or something like this with a surround for modesty and a windbreak, which would also be helpful. Add in a couple of astroturf mats to stand on and you're practically back home.

Any ideas on where and what type of pump is needed? I'll be pulling water from a creek most of the time while camping. I'm guessing I'll need to know how long of a run from the creek to the shower?

Thanks,

Chris

Get a 12v on demand rv pump, they work great. right around ~$75 will get a decent one for portable use.

I have a SHURflo

Speakihng of Rinnai tankless hot water heaters, I am currently using the shurflo 3 gpm pump to do the annual anti scaling (Lime condition) treatment to mine. Manual says to do it yearly and I installed the unit about 2 years ago. Got the LC error on the readout so I guess it is time.

I will probably get the Ecotemp L5 or L10 to use with the same pump for a camp shower.

Piece of crap! I bought one and it leaked like a $#$##%^! Don't do it!

 

[SOCALFJ]

Anyone else have theirs leak?

 

[MANUCHAO]

All the reviews I have read haven't said anything about leaking... the main complaint is not enough water pressure.. but that's an obvious fix....

First time I have heard it leaked on some one...
wonder where it leaked from.. the hose connection or internal parts ??

 

[1shot1kill]

It leaked internally!

 

[Southeast Overland]

It leaked internally!

Did you try to get an exchange? I was considering this unit and customer service goes a long way - anyone can have a bad product now and then...

 

[cranky steve]

Mine's been fine. I have talked to Eccotemp directly, and they were great. If someone has a problem, and has not contacted the Company, and then complains on-line, that's lame.
