i used 2x45 litrs water tanks.and i installed them to the position of the last windows (i use the old bases from the seats) so i didnt loose any space of my car
these water tanks are made for use to the boats(have light blue colour)for water and not the red one that it is for fuel.
one of them i use it for hot water 12volts 800watts 55 degrees Celsious.
the position is vertical.one pump 12v with a 3way valve gives me hot and cold water in a mix that i adjust

3 tips...
1.when i use my searcher lights 700w i do not use at the same time my 800w boiler
2.the first test it was this: fill the tank with hot water of my shower 54 degrees celsious .the enviroment (room) had 23 degrees.the tank was bare without any insulation.and for the next 12 hours drop one deg every one hour..next morning had 42 deg.
3.i install 2 thermostats to cut off the electric system if i forget it..one between no2 and no3 resistance and the second to the top after no4

if anybody needs more info i ll be around

Pretty good setup.. I like the hot water idea... where do you have installed the faucet..??
 
coming 2 rubber hoses , to a central 3-way valve
(one from the hot water tank and one from the cold)
the 3 way valve has 3 vanes and i can adsust the flow...
and from the central 3-way valve coming a 3 mtr rubber hose with pressurestatic valve to the handle.(its the same as my shower to my house)
