I fell in love with these rigs the first time I laid eyes on it. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the help, I will have to take a good look at it. KD

I will admit I have no experience with Land Rovers, but I found a 2008 LR3 for sale that got me thinking. I have been looking for a decent vehicle for my son to drive as he is just turning 16. This thing is pretty clean, but has 180k on it. They are only asking $3500 for it. Am I right to think...

The Heat Exchanger worked wonderfully this weekend. Added a mixing and it prevented that short blast of hot from stopping and starting the water flow. I will add some pictures when I finish fabricating the brackets for a permanent home for the quick connects. I would 100% recommend this. Thanks...

Alright looking for ways to hard mount a couple quick connects under the hood. Looking for any ideas.

Joolca ENSUITE Mounted Single I just received the Ensuite and took it on a 3 day weekend where we base camped. The weather was great other than a couple hours of rain storm on Saturday. The unit was used for both a shower stall and for the portable toilet. I really wanted to like this product...

To be honest I have not had great luck with propane units. I am mainly looking for a shower. I don't mind running the truck to do it. For washing dishes I will still use the propane I have onboard.

So due to living in an area with colder climates about 6 months out of the year (November-April), I would be using this all but December-Feb. We (I think I talked two of my buddies into installing these) plan on making it easy to blow out the fresh water lines and heat exchanger. From what I am...

I keep fighting the urge to build one of these. Probably a good thing it's in Texas and I am in MN. Did you do any fit out on the inside? good luck with your sale. KD

I decided to go with 3"x8" 20 plate. It will be interesting to see if a mixing valve is needed. Looks like it has 2.85 sq feet of heat exchange area. I am hoping this will do it, because then I seen a 26 plate for $10 more that has a 3.75 Sq feet.

OK now do I get a 20 plate 3"x8" or go for the 4"x12"? Is there suck a thing as over kill? ?

Thanks for all the Info J!m. Living in the north where we have winter temps 6-7 months a year, I was concerned with the freezing issue. The power of frozen water is incredible. I was thinking of plumbing in a way to blow out the clean water line(s). Just so I am clear, since this truck is my...

Thanks for the info. I am starting to tinker with the schematics for my Tundra. when you said: "Important tip: make sure you have a way to drain ALL the clear water from the HE. Ask me how I know." Were you talking about when not in use or during the cold weather months? KD

Well I am not sure, I just started exploring the idea. I have had some not so good luck with propane heaters, thought this might be the way to go for me. I would use it into the late fall time of the year and it seems to really be a more reliable option for what I want. most of the videos that I...

OK so I have been thinking of doing a heat exchanger for hot water. It doesn't seem that popular here in the US. I guess I am looking for the Pros and Cons. I am also looking for options where to acquire one here in the US. KD
