Around £400, + add a chinese diesel heater and for around a total of about £550 you have got a complete heating & hot water system for your campervan at a excellent price.......thanks Liam for showing us this.
Been looking at these for a while as I’m halfway through my build. The upgrades to the kit are brilliant especially that tank.I like the new displays too. Will be definitely buying one of these.will be good to see it working too.
Loving the look of this and will definitely keep it in mind for the next motorhome I’m gonna be getting later this year, moving away from LPG as much as possible is definitely the way forward I think.
Great bit of kit, and very well explained Liam. Will keep this in mind for any of future upgrades as I will be fitting diesel heater to add another heater source apart from the truma in our Motorhome.
thats a cool setup. I built a small heat exchanger using pc radiators with usb fans and a small usb pump it acts like a small ac or heater depending on what you put in the cooler. I only have it set up for ice because I live in Florida but I could add a diesel glow plug to heat the water or even a 12v heating coil all for around $75us and its the size of a 6pack cooler...
That looks like a great bit of kit! Need mine rewiring in the new year, and some new leisure batteries, and a new tap… diesel heater swap…. I’ll give you a shout for recommendations once we get past January. Have a great evening and Happy New Year to you and your little family 🖤✌️
Grateful for the video. If the heater uses the excess energy from solar, does it also use the excess energy from a leisure battery when it’s fully charged while driving. So that you may get a tank of hot/warm water at the end of a journey for no extra cost?
@@LiamTheTerrible I have a tank to store hot water but need to run the engine this will run as a separate system wouldn't it hopefully you install one soon
Fab bench, you little rock star getting the exclusive. I deffo need something like this eventually. Hot water is a game changer, especially for us old crinklies 🤣 Happy New Year to you and yours. 🥳
Do love this channel- the product reviews come with a side of let's not take life too seriously eh? Lol. This water heater seems pretty awesome, love that it heats via solar too. handy!
It's a lovely tank but I reckon a more cuboid shape would be a better fit, in my van at least. Can you use the hot water for a brew or does it taste weird?
The only gripe I have is. Why on earth do they make things round. It wastes so much space in a motorhome. Especially hot water tanks. No thought by designers only ease of manufacture. Cheers from old George and happy new year. 🤠🇬🇧👍
Unfortunately cubes make very weak water tanks for pressure, high pressure tanks are all spherical! You are correct though, a cube would be more space efficient but much weaker when pressurised.
@@bobilvans4205 Yep thanks for reply. Then a pump that can handle pumping hot water and not having a pressurised tank system. Maybe the answer. Opportunity for a system redesign. Expansion chamber. I must admit I have never worked or pressure tested water tanks. If you have I would be interested in seeing your test results. Cheers from old George
@@bobilvans4205 Thanks for the update. I am in the process of putting my ideas to a major motorhome accessories maker in Germany hoping that they will take on my ideas. Heat exchanger in replacement to Silencer on exhaust system on heater and also gravity fed tank system with divert valves etc. Parastaltic no sound pump for Diesel fuel. Haven't got time at the moment for major projects as experimenting with magnetic loop aerials and baluns. Cheers from old George or mad George as some say. Video soon.
Boo Hoo, I missed out on the discount as I’ve already paid for mine. Never mind. Are you likely to install it before the end of January so we’ve got some guidance when ours arrives? Nice workbench, BTW. 😀
I had to dislike this on the basis the bench was a mess, you didn't show us the diverter properly (6ft away from the camera) and the diagram which was shown for a nano second out of focus, not very professional at all, a shame really as it looks a great bit of kit, I think you missed out explaining how you get fresh water into the cylinder. Surely the heat exchanger part is sealed and indirectly heats the cylinder, the water in the cylinder is not the same water (direst heat type)? Personally I'd suggest reading the instructions before doing a video so you know exactly how it works, you just guessed it all.
Joolca hottap v2 absolutely perfect and so simple no 3d printed plastic and same price

I’ll have that system when you do my van next year.maybe they will have upgraded it by then as well. I
Cool
Looks a good bit of kit, look forward to the video of you fitting it
Thanks mick

Perfect! Be good to see you
Bloody superb!!
I am about to fit my air/water deisel heater. But the accessories shown here would be really handy
Link in description :)
Most accessories are available separately so do visit our shop :)
Added to the list for the sprinter 👌🏼👌🏼
Perfect

Yeah it does
Looks superb, let's hope it works as good as it should do when it's fitted. Happy New year Liam.
They do!
This could change boat life 🤔 thank you
Yes!

looks a great bit of kit nice one fella
It’s really good!
👍👍😊 Liam, lovely product to have. This will be a great addition. Thanks for sharing.😊😘
Thank you
Hi bud where did you get the sheeting for the shower BTW loving your tiktok channel 👌
That’s an awesome bit of kit 👍😊
It’s really cool
I wondered if that could be done
Yeah it’s really good!
Nice looking kit 😀good review 👏
Thank you!
Great video as always. Could I ask what pipe size would you recommend? Hope you have a great new year 👍🏻
I’d always go with 15mm John guest
It's a lovely tank but I reckon a more cuboid shape would be a better fit, in my van at least. Can you use the hot water for a brew or does it taste weird?
It’s drinking water buddy
Unfortunately cubes make very weak water tanks for pressure, high pressure tanks are all spherical! Sorry!
@@bobilvans4205 thanks for the explanation
This sounds brilliant, could it be used permanently just via the solar, or do you have to get the bobil side of things ?
Both with together great
This is what I wanted to see. That is a wicked bench :) My other heater came today - typical! Throw a link up please :) nice discount too thank you :)

Wow they look beautiful kit love to have this in my van one day be such a cool idea. Great video buddy 🤗
It’s decent!
@@LiamTheTerrible 😊🤗
Looks decent that.
It’s really good
Hi Liam, you forgotten to put the link in the description. Another option for heating water is cool.
The link is in the description 😳
@@LiamTheTerrible sorry, must of missed it 😂
Great stuff 👍
I’ve never seen anybody get so excited about a water tank😂😂. Happy New Year everyone🥳🥳 💥 💥💥💥💥🥳🥳
Haha
What's that lot costing Liam looks the funking nuts mat
Link is description :)
About £400 all in but there’s a discount in the description!
Looks like I've found my hot water solution.
It’s really good
Awesome 👍🏻
Thanks
I've heated my hot water by 12v immersion heater for the 3 years. Hardly uses any power and heats up quickly
Perfect
Will 10 litres be enough hot water to have a shower?
Can it fill from a seperate tank or do you just fill with 10 litres at a time?
Thanks
Yeah because you’d mix the hot water with cold water :)
10 litres of 70 degree water gives you 17 litres of shower water, if you keep your heater on whilst showering you’ll get about 30 litres 👍
That's plenty, thanks
Better get one ordered then, did you mention discount before? 😁
@@theproducer6255 link in description :)
How many amps does it consume at 300 watts x 12 volts?
Current = Watts/Volts, so 300/12. So 25 Amps.
🤘🏽

@@MakeDoAndMend1 Our original kit was exactly that-a square tank and a separate pump so there’s actually no need for a redesign!

Hurry up and fit it so we can see it working! 😁
I’ll try!

Hopefully you'll get a mince pie 😁
I wil try
good vid
Thanks mate
Bobil Vans is a strange name since bobil is motorhome in norwegian.It just sounds a bit much to me 🙂
Haha
That’s where we got the name-we came up with it in Norway!
I'll boil mi kettle..lol.
We like tea too :)
