A water heater is an amenity I never wanted in my van due to how complicated and inefficient all the regular options are. So I finally got around to building my own DIY water heater for our camper van conversion. The main goals of the design were to have it function with a water pump, not lose storage space, and be able to power it off my regular fuse panel.
