More About the Roll-off Camper It has an instant water heater I bought at Walmart for about a hundred dollars. I use a $39.00 double hose fitted bulge pump from Harbor Freight, the pumps a constant 10 psi. I cycle the water back to the tank because the heater has no thermostat. I divert the cycle through the shower head and restrict the flow to control the temperature and conserve water. Crank it open for about 20-30 second of wash down at the end of my shower. This way I save over two hundred dollars and I don't have to carry six gallons of water to push six gallons out of a water heater. Saves weight and it actually works better than the shower I had in my Airstream at conserving water. I have thirteen gallons of water storage on each side. Its good for either three long or four short showers.
Like the idea of lighting the burner in water heater before turning on the pump. I could seriously damage the heater and melt your hoses. For sure it could burn the hell out of you like it's done me. Sure I may only use 10% of my brain, so I'm pretty stupid. But you better be smarter than me to figure out how to use one of these safely. I'm saying that you have to be crazy if you think you can rig up something like this and burn your ass sometime, so don't try coming around trying to sue me our something. If you do, well deem that you are a dumb ass for even trying something like this. It has a 1600 - 5000 BTU heater that cost about $200-220, at Holiday World, but with tank, regulator, and hose you end up paying closer to $275-300.oo for it . Warning, you need good ventilation when using one of these. I've got two 12 X 12 vents they use on houses. One low on the front of the box with an air filter inside to keep the road dust out. The back one is high and it's above the shower and cooking area. I guess it's advised to have 4 square inches of ventilation for every 1000 BTU.
