Portable Gas Hot Water Service
« on: August 29, 2024, 07:23:25 PM »
Hello, Any suggestions for a portable gas hot water service provider? I found too many options and need your experience.

Thanks for the support.

Do you mean to supply you gas, or the system used?
 12-15 years ago we purchased a Coleman, Hot water on demand, still have it. At the time it served us, we had the room to carry it.
Now that it's just the two of us(mostly Swagging it now, if we don't take the hard floor rear fold camper), we use a collapsible bucket, boil some water, 12 volt pump shower  run off the second battery, which is great for us atm.
I guess it depends on your needs.

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

Another cheap and easy method is to use a Bunnings garden sprayer (7-8 litre is best but 5 litre works) and remove spray wand and attach a trigger nozzle.
Heat water to about 40 deg. C and fill sprayer. A few pumps and shower away.
Wife and I can get wet and clean with 7 litres but need more if she washes her hair.

We also use a home made system using an old water pump from the kitchen, a portable shower nozzle with tap , and a 20L plastic container.
Use what water is available , heat some , and enjoy a nice shower. Might have to wear togs sometimes !!
Simple is always good ..... for us anyway.

Got a Coleman HWOD that isn't being used, not sure where you are willing to sell cheap.

What is your budget for a unit?

What have you found you like/dislike on them?

We be good if some of the cheap diesel heater manufacturers would make a combined air/water heater, i would prefer something mounted and not one i need to setup before using.
