INSTANT HOT WATER SHOWER (in a campervan?!)

Using our hydronic diesel heater, we plumb up our campervan plumbing system with a shurflo pump and our plate heat exchanger to give us instant on-demand hot water in our DIY campervan conversion. We show you exactly how to plumb up your campervan plumbing system to give hot and cold water in your van build.

[@RobertAlberti]

We're looking at hot water solutions right now for our van build, so this is very timely for us.

[@FreedomStrider]

Glad we caught you in time to help ☺️

[@nutsandy7183]

really digging the humour and editing and cats :D

[@FreedomStrider]

We love all 3 equally (minus the cats...they rank #1 ;)

[@jdcoverland365]

Well done Sam!

[@FreedomStrider]

Cheers ☺️

[@mausie1967]

Great upgrade 👍

[@FreedomStrider]

Thanks 👍

[@SunbrightShinobi]

I was wondering about how long will hot water last if you kept it running with your setup?

[@FreedomStrider]

It will last as long as the heater is on then about a liter or two afterwards - it's instant hot water 😁

[@SunbrightShinobi]

@@FreedomStrider thanks yea I have an 1g expansion tank on mine and takes only a few mins to get hot and I get 2-3 mins of hot and then have to wait same time for it to heat up (on city water high pressure) haven’t tried using general tank and lower pump pressure yet
