Hot water
« on: March 20, 2015, 12:47:06 PM »
Just wondering if others use one of these great hot water taps?

I've had one in my last couple of vans and they're pretty good for low volume hot water.  You can use a pump to get water to them but they do need 240V for heating (though I expect good solar panels or a generator and a voltage inverter may work too).

Cheers!

thanks kiwi for posting a link. There are many places you can buy them. I think the link kiwi posted is a wholesaler with minimum order of 60 (!) but I bought mine from Aliexpress and the price was good, just check oiut the seller carefully.
