Portable gas hot water showers

I've got a Joolca v1. The v2 apparently has fixed the fault of going out in really windy conditions. I don't know if other brands have the same problem. My version needs to recirculate really cold water to get it to 42 deg. (It was the Warrumbungles in July.) This isn't really a problem you can just fill a jerry can and recirculate until you warm it slightly. Prior to leaving it worked fine with Canberra tap water in May and it's pretty much brass monkey temperature year round.

G'day Tom.
I bought a Smartek unit for use with a caravan. Homemade Bracket on van side holds the water heater safely away from van side, gas supply via hose from Bayonet.
The water pump draws from the tank through hose fittings and I made a Y with taps so initially the water can be sent to return to tank until the heater gets up to set temp. Then change the inline taps to stop return to tank and flow to shower. Like others, when the flow is stopped at the shower head, the pump stops, heater stops too, but as soon as flow is allowed to resume the heater relights itself without much drop in temp. ie, soap up and rinse off. Seems good. Other brands may work just as good, but I haven't used them so can't compare. Uses two D cells to initiate spark for ignition.

Hi Tom,
My daughter has used a Country Comfort for about 6 months now and is very happy with it after having numerous problems with the Coleman they had previously. They are an Aussie company that are easy to contact and speak to on the phone. I have spoken to the owners several times re changing my shower rose to one that uses less LPM and they have been quite helpful.
I suggest you give them a ring and have a chat re your requirements and any concerns you may have re flame blowing out, lack of hot water etc as I am sure they can honestly answer them for you.

Portable gas hot water showers are a great option for campers, off-roaders, and anyone who needs hot water on the go. There are a number of brands on the market, but Country Comfort is a popular choice.


Here are some things to consider when choosing a portable gas hot water shower:

* **Water flow rate:** How much water do you want to be able to use per minute?
* **Temperature rise:** How hot do you want the water to get?
* **Size and weight:** How portable do you need the shower to be?
* **Ease of use:** How easy is it to set up and use the shower?
* **Price:** How much are you willing to spend?

Country Comfort showers are known for being durable, easy to use, and efficient. They come in a variety of sizes to suit your needs, and they can heat water up to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). However, they can be a bit on the pricier side.

Here are some other popular brands of portable gas hot water showers:

When choosing a brand, it is important to read reviews and compare features to find the shower that is right for you.
