Hot water and hot shower in a van build thread.

[ninja.turtle007]

flow rates are all well and good but you have to remember its not like the shower in your house, you learn to shower a different way with a limited supply of water

I think my pump is 8 l/min which would empty my onboard tank in under 10 mins if showering like in the house

I agree, you get wet, turn off the shower, have a scrub and the rinse off.

3 off us can shower, including my wife washing her hair with about 15l.

an obvious question I suppose, but what about the waste water? You don't want to end up squelching around in a quagmire at the back of your van (assuming you set it up under an open tailgate of course).

I've built a wetroom in my van and at the moment it drains out onto the ground - gonna look at plumbing it into my waste tank but I don't plan on using the shower too much otherwise I would be filling the water tanks every other day and emptying the waste tank every day. My daughter takes about 25mins in the shower at home, i reckon she will still take forever in the van ) I've got a mini gas boiler that I've yet to fully test, cost £40 off ebay last year.

Hi Guys,

I have also been looking into this option especially as the wife and I will be heading off to Glastonbury this year in the Van. Have you seen these zodi zip hot showers?

Timwhy posted this YouTube video of it in action which looks really good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXQtWzupR3Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Looks like you can only get them from the US though. http://zodishower.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
