Instant Hot Water Shower for Our Teardrop Trailer

In this video we talk about how we use our Camplux hot water heater mounted to the side of one of our teardrop campers. We try to keep things as minimal as possible so we like to install all of the components inside the Pelican Case and mount it to the side of the trailer. No water tanks to maintain! Check below for the parts shown in this video. Thanks for watching!

I've seen these along time ago at cades cove campground. This is great! Most places I camp don't have showers. (National parks) This is a great addon! And runs off campers 12v! 👍👍🤟🤟

Hey I am working on a similar system, how did you mount the pelican case to the body of the trailer ? Wondering if I need some sort of rubber gasket between the box and the exterior wall of the camper itself. I recently bought a Hiker Trailer and I am happy with it but I did notice that they didn’t use any sort of gasket on any of the mounted accessories. Love you’re channel thanks brother 👍

I would also like to know if the heat generated by the tankless heater would deform the Pelican case, maybe a heat shield above the heater would be appropriate. The concept and installation are impressive.

@WanderTears Жыл бұрын

We haven’t had any issues with but I suppose it wouldn’t be difficult to add a shield later on.

Can you let me know the sizes of the 90* elbow adapters required? I need to order some

@4runrJay 7 ай бұрын

Do you have a parts list of the 90* fittings you used so that you didn’t have to drill through the pelican

do you need to prime the input water line?

@bryanpocock1785 2 ай бұрын

The exhaust from the heater doesn't melt the plastic pelican case?

@hlgta 10 ай бұрын

do you leave system mounted on side of trailer or only pull out and hang when needed

How did you mount case to teardrop?

How long would this shower last?

@steve4386 Жыл бұрын

Why did you choose to not mount it on the lid for better venting of the heat?

@StefanRMarais Жыл бұрын

Nice setup. Good on you for testing it on her. 😂😂

Did anyone find the elbow connectors?

@mrmajestic345 Жыл бұрын

how does the pelican case hold up to the heat coming out the top of the water heater?

@WanderTears Жыл бұрын

We haven’t had any problems with it but adding a shield would be simple enough to have peace of mind.

Where did you get the 90° connectors for your water inlet and outlet

@WanderTears Ай бұрын

That can be found on amazon. It's just a brass 90˚ fitting for a hose. Here is a link: amzn.to/3V3OkyQ

What the weight of the trailer? I have a Honda pilot. Wondering if I can pull with it?

@WanderTears Жыл бұрын

Our lightest version weighs around 900lbs. Max weight can get up to 1600lbs. I believe it would be close to the max on your Pilot. You would definitely want trailer brakes to assist with slowing the weight down.

@ericj810 Жыл бұрын

Depending on your pilots engine and model you can pull 3600 to 5000 lbs with it. At 1600 lbs most states don't require trailer brakes for your vehicle class. If you pull 3000 with it id go for trailer brakes and a p3 proportional brake controller. But 900 to 1600 you wouldn't need the brakes just light hookup. Maybe 4pin hookup.

What connector did you use for the LP gas?

@WanderTears Ай бұрын

It was a quick connect fitting. Here is a link for something similar on Amazon: amzn.to/4bHmFJE
