    Hi campers. I'm David. After much convincing by friends in my traveling group, I have decided to create this CZcams channel to share with you a few ideas to hopefully make your journey a better one.
    Having retired from the robotics industry and engineering design, I'm always looking for ways to permanently unplug our 24' Class C RV from the campground pedestal to more fully enjoy all of the beautiful places this great country has to offer.
    So you are most welcome to come join me at the campfire as we share our quest for freedom, in comfort. Remember, there is always room for one more out here. I'll see you then. I'm Gone Boondocking ;)

    how about a parts list with where to buy them, or either do you sell the assembled product

    David, you are a genius. Many people are going to benefit from your brainiac work. Are you going to be selling these? If not, will you be supplying a parts list for DIY crowd?

    You win 1st place for ingenuity and creativity in the shower category for RV/Vanlifers.

    This is such an intriguing concept!
    I would love to see a drawn diagram of this.
    Thanks....

    What a treat to see a new video notification from your channel! I was just thinking about the 'hour shower' only yesterday and mulling over the parts I'll need for my own one day. I also see that you have added a few stats on your own RV and energy components in the description of your video, thank you for that. I don't have my RV yet, but I am leaning heavily to a 26-30 class C with the beautiful V-10 on the Ford F53 chassis. So far you have done all of the Mods that I intend to do on my future rig, especially the Mini-split, 800 amp hrs of Battleborn's (for my rig), Solar, Victron devices (Best out there), and now of course, the lovely long warm shower. Your heated 2.0 version is a brilliant design! Once again you are increasing our abilities to be comfy living in an RV with your designs and innovations - I LOVE it!
    I am paying very close attention to how successful all of your upgrades are over the course of time, and the Business grade Mini-split you have been using for a year now, sounds just PERFECT! I knew that was the route to take, plus it frees up real estate on the roof for more Solar panels (Residential as well).
    I'm so glad you have this channel for all of us to learn from, and I know I appreciate the time you take to put these videos up. I think a live Q and A next Friday would be an excellent idea, I know that I would happily participate through the sidechat window.
    If you are in the Quartzsite area this Winter, I'd love to be able to drive over and have an in-depth tour of your home on wheels to confirm my future endeavor into my own full time life on the road. It's gonna be a large cash outlay (as you know) and I'd feel a lot better following the path you have led, with your RV as a prime example of how it's done properly. I live in Tucson so it's not a far drive for me to come to you if that is even a possibility.
    Thanks again! - JohnInTucson (my YT channel)

    Really like the portability aspect of this as opposed to a built in system.

  • @jimburlingame4438

    Looks like a great revision of your design. Thanks for this. I plan on building one for my off grid cabin.

  • @gailjohnson6670
    @gailjohnson6670 Před 4 lety +22

    Thank you for the video...I wish I had your knowledge and mechanical ability..Would you ever consider making these to sell? Using only a 1-1/2 gals of water to shower that can be filtered and reused is a great idea.. Have a Blessed Day..

  • @mysimplecleanfood3200
    @mysimplecleanfood3200 Před 4 lety +8

    Thank you for sharing all your great ideas! Loved original design, and now with heat...awesome! Look forward to more of your ideas. :-)

    Thanks, love the enhancements. Look forward to your live feed next Friday! If you can, post a reminder 30 minutes or so before you open so those of us who are interested have a heads up!

    What is the estimated cost of materials? Will you have a part list? Working on a van build .and looking at options for a shower. Thanks for your hard work and ingenuity.

  • @shockingguy
    @shockingguy Před 4 lety +13

    Awesome 👏 so the Hot water source that you’re using from your RV is just a loop is is that what that is. Just trying to understand the plumbing better. I hope you can put a good diagram together like you did before.

  • @SunnyFly100
    @SunnyFly100 Před 4 lety +9

    Thank you! Wouldn’t be better if filter is I installed immediately after suction before the first pump? Pump would work with already cleaned water

  • @poorpauly1308
    @poorpauly1308 Před 4 lety +10

    I have been looking for a solution like this for a long time. Thank you for sharing this. Great work.
    It would be nice to see how many cycles you can get out of this system and expected maintenance intervals. Please keep us updated.

    very nice and well done.
    materials are not widely available here, like the valves, but resources plenty (sun)
    need something for the shower and laundry and going to use gravitional pump to the diy heat exchanger and equipments.

  • @des2610
    @des2610 Před 4 lety +23

    Amazing, and your air-con install is amazing too!
    What is the go with this unit? Are you selling them or do you have plans for them?
    Thanks.

    Could you please add links to the new parts you used in the description?

  • @dukesworld3020
    @dukesworld3020 Před 4 lety +6

    If you have it connected to the water system on the RV how do you keep it from contaminating the Rv freshwater?
    Check valves and where are they located? I like the concept!!!

  • @anthonyperez5126
    @anthonyperez5126 Před 4 lety +10

    Been following you for awhile and enjoy your videos. We desperately want to integrate this into our van build.
    The hot and cold water you have coming from your RV is that depleting your house water or is it just for the heat exchanger?
    I guess I’m not sure how the heat exchanger works.

  • @davesigz
    @davesigz Před 4 lety +5

    Love your great ideas for boondocking. Are you going to RTR? Would like to see hour shower.

  • @brichusi

    love it....need more about parts to buy......or are u selling it???????

  • @sunnybrown987
    @sunnybrown987 Před 4 lety

    Thank you. I am. Interested in using this in a Travato 59gl which has low storage for fresh and gray storage. A nice shower would be wonderful. I need parts list please. I think this is doable for me.

  • @joelhansen7373
    @joelhansen7373 Před 4 lety +14

    Do you have a bill of materials for the Hour Shower 2.0? Construction seems straightforward, but I’d love to use the same pumps & heat exchanger you’ve used.

  • @TOTALLYRELAXED
    @TOTALLYRELAXED Před 4 lety +5

    Hello! Great video, and, very informative. I was hooked on this apparatus when you introduced it on the last video. How would a person get something like this installed into their RV having no experience in plumbing? Do you sell these? Is this sort of thing on the market? Glad to see you back, and, praying that you are recuperating from your family disaster in a positive direction. Stay safe, be happy, love God, and, I'll see you in the next video!

  • @DVtxtradeforvanlife

    So you are recirculating the water you already have showered with, dirty water? What if you're muddy?
