Q: What's the
difference between the vehicle camping shower and the hot
water system?
A: The vehicle camping shower has
a 3 meter heating coil and is designed to deliver shower
temperature water directly from the unit. The hot water
system has a 4.5 meter coil and will deliver much hotter
water. These units can be turned down for showers.
Q: Will fitting a heat exchanger affect my cabin
heater?
A: No you cannot detect any difference in the output
Q:
Series or parallel fitting?
A: While the average vehicle uses a valve to
control the cabin heater, it its best to install the unit in
parallel with the cabin heater. With the cabin
heater turned off, all the water is available to the
heat exchanger. This is the most efficient way of
installing.
If you prefer, you can install the unit
in series and use the cabin heater control to regulate the
temperature.
Some newer vehicles have a constant flow
system and must be installed in series for the best
results.
Q: How do I use
the 12 V pump/shower set?
A: If
you want to use the 12v pump directly from your vehicle, cut
the hose above the pump leaving enough length to reach the
water source. Push the hose attached to the pump onto
the cold (blue) barb and attach the remainder of the hose and
shower rose to the hot (red) barb.
If
you have a shower enclosure or wish to wash away from your
vehicle,
you can gravity feed fresh water from a drum or bucket on
the bonnet through the heat exchanger into another
container.
As
the hot water units will produce scalding water when the valve
is fully open, you will need to experiment a bit with the
temperature regulation valve before showering.
