It’s propane buddy 😊

Unsure, mine haven’t run out after 4 years. They’re only used to provide ignition and display.

No make. It’s a generic Chinese water heater. Search LPG Water on eBay and similar looking ones will appear if available.

@@ffilmpalmer8498 how long do the batteries last ?

Okay

You will need some form of active pressure in order for this to work. Either mains water or a 12v water pump will work fine.

I wouldn’t advise it, I’d seriously recommend an approved domestic boiler installed by a qualified technician. This is only really suitable for part time use outdoors.

As I’ve said in other comments, the price fluctuates season to season (stock levels, waiting for imports and the weather all affect demand). Buy one in the summer around May and they should be back in stock at a decent price.

I would certainly recommend that yes. I’ve seen a few campsites who use them for shower blocks and they’d built little birdhouse enclosures for them, very cool.

Can’t see why not, just be safe and remember, these things are not the most well built units (as they warn you themselves) so take into consideration how long you can expect it to reasonably last safely.

You have to keep your eyes peeled and buy when they are at the right price. I bought mine on eBay and bought a second one on Amazon for £80. Sometimes the market is full, other times there’s none available.

A camper doesn't have to have hot water or a shower to be a camper.

Possibly not due to carbon monoxide exhaust & NOX gas . Maker suggests installation outdoors

Great idea. So much cheaper than relying on electricity.

Thanks! I use flogas butane bottles with a flogas butane clip on regulator.

I’ve the same problem

Official answer: No Real world answer: If you had it flued out properly and installed by a proper gas technician then I don't see why not, but you'd be hard pressed to find a gas tech who'd be willing to put their reputation in the hand of a cheap Chinese water heater. It's really a case of making your own mind up, and that's only if you're the only person you're potentially endangering.

Sadly the price for these is like the price for Bitcoin; it's up and down constantly. I bought mine in the dead of winter 2019/2020 as you can probably tell from the grey sky. Try buying one of these in the summer and you're going to get stung by international sellers hiking the price up.

You'd have to flue it properly to install it indoors. If your caravan was on a permanent pitch then I'd make a little 'phone booth' kind of shelter for it outside and run all the piping back into the van.

Me too, but i am using a 18litre 36kw heater. czcams.com/video/T7kKwRN5m3w/video.html

I'm here for that very reason, out of interest, does it save a lot of money, also what litre version of boiler do you use

@@baldrickscunningplan6154 I can't view the video buddy

This is what I was looking to do with it can I ask to you have it fitted outside are they waterproof

For those asking; they’re not waterproof, and the gubbins inside are made of very cheap steel and chinesium. I wouldn’t recommend keeping this completely uncovered outside like I did with mine (although to be fair it didn’t seem to affect how well it worked, it still provided hot water but it was very rusty). What I would suggest is maybe keeping it in your garage or shed in the dry, and then every time you want to fill up your spa, just hang it off the back of a chair, hook it up and use it as and when. In terms of cost, a 14kg bottle of gas will probably last you around a year or so if you used it a handful of times a year, and they’re around £25 the last time I checked. With energy prices the way they’re going now, I’d say relying on electricity to heat it up could result in a cost of £10 a time from cold to warm, so this represents a WAY cheaper option (and you can take this little unit camping too, so it’s handy for more than one reason). Mine is now installed full time in my camper van and it really feels great knowing I have a boiling hot shower in the van no matter where we are, better than relying on the lottery of campsite shower blocks!

What is wrong with it?

@@baldrickscunningplan6154 clicking when I pout water on and only goes up to 28 no hotter. Was great till this winter had it since beginning of 2019. My one is 18l minute because I've had it running a 24inch rain shower. Was the bollox. I'm going to get the 12l as that's what comes out my water tower.

Mine worked fine after being outdoors all year with no cover. It was a bit rusty on the screws but the inside looked fine. However, I fiddled a little too much with the knobs and that messed up the gas regulator so it would only produce luke warm water at best. Threw it out, bought another (which is installed in the van, nice and dry).

Not too sure, haven't used it in a while, but will fire it up this weekend and see what happens

Calor gas, standard calor gas regulator like you'd have with a BBQ or patio heater

patio gas bottle (green top) Regulator is 37 mbar.

You can install them indoors but you need to mod the boiler. czcams.com/video/T7kKwRN5m3w/video.html

Ebay, just search high pressure shower head.

I had no idea it has a timer, I'll have to check this out

Yes it does have an inbuilt 20 minute shut off timer but you can get around it. czcams.com/video/T7kKwRN5m3w/video.html

If you have a sufficient water supply then yes

I'd recommend making a small canopy above the unit if you intended full time outdoor use
