hi guys ,i was wondering if you guys new where i could find some plans for a homemade hot water system for camping ,,i know you can get gas ones but i dont trust gas that much ,so i wanted to build one that sits on a fire or some thing ,,it will mainly be used for showers

Jason, get yourself a beer keg and a submersible pump you can put it on the hot coals and shower all day long. but try 1 project at a time get a motor finished first.

jason get a60lt drum put spout near top . sit it on frie when you want hot waer pourcold in at top hot runs out spout 40years ago army used same ider Agreed. Use a funnel to add water but make sure it has a tube to the bottom. Outlet with tap usually around 2/3 to 3/4 up. All components need to made of metal. Really only used on base camps. I prefer a billy of boiling water added to cold water in a bucket and a cheap 12V shower. The cheap plastic solar showers are good in the warmer months. Keep it simple and you will have less gear to carry. -------------------- Don't tell anybody but my name is Fushin Freddie

yeah ive seen these ,but wondered what they would be like ,to me they just look like a black plastic bag but i could be wrong They work well if put out before lunch on a hot day. What are you guys on about, 20lts is heaps for my misses and myself. I use about 5 lts and she uses the rest. How I use it: Turn on and wet yourself (with the water silly) Turn off and use your bar of soap Turn on and wash off soap. Easy How my misses uses it Turn on, winge about the tempeture of the water, lather up with soap, wash off soap. Have your husband ready to give you more water. Finished. No need to turn off as all the water is gone. As you can see I always go first. This is why I use the plastic bucket and cheap shower pump. Easy to keep topping up the water. If there is a fire ban use someone elses 4WD shower system. ![]() ![]() -------------------- Don't tell anybody but my name is Fushin Freddie
