I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to fit one of these in my 4x4.
No doubt Surfy will shortly come along and enlighten me. (muchas gracias!)
p.s TheWarden will probably like this :0)

Toyark, for shure you can get too a hot water shower while overlanding on 4wheels. If you did read my travel blog, you probably know that I love my car engine "heat exchanger" and my hot shower abroad.



Today are there severall options from heat exchanger, 12v, 110/220v, gas, diesel and severall solutions on the market offers a combination out of thoses sources.



And yes, there is a german article there, about exatly that topic:
https://www.4x4tripping.com/2021/06/...life.html#more

I hope you find that kind of gear, what you like! But guess we should probably not discuss that in a topic around electric solutions for 4x4. But we can note - that there are many solutions around - to get hot water and a shower in your 4x4 rig.

I have been enjoying my hot shower (albeit outside!) from my engines' heat since 2007 as well as my mini-but does-the job portable desalinator for days on the beach. Maybe the pic will help you make one. Life's a

BTW, the picture below was taken after my making it- it is now rather blacker having interacted with my wood gasification stove.

Blogs? nein danke

and re-reading the posts, it seems a slight language 'coq-of-vin' meant the water heater you refer to is actually a kettle; my bad!
(Still useless though due to massive power needs)
Happy trails

Some sort of bracket might be on order, or a trailer.

I sure someone will be along with a blog post of links to various brackets but no opinion on which will work

I was able to test my new setup a while. To challenge it even with 2 fridges (what isnt my current setup in europe) - I had the time for, because I had an heavy addicent (not with a car).

I am needing power for two 12v compressor fridges (Freezer / Fridge), my Notebook, Camera, Smartphone, Tablet, Drone, some LED Lights at night.

I did it 9 years ago as a DYI Project for beeing able to staying self sufficent some days offgrid with my travelling car.

At 2011 $1500 not a cheapie, very capable, 95 AH AGM Battery, B2B Booster, Inverter, Solarcharger, Batterymonitor: Writeup classic powersetup (35kg AGM)

Did serve my well during my transafrica and further international journeys.

Then I did try the same at 2021, with LiFePO4 and new components. I wasnt able to beat this ecoflow device in weight, size or price. Here is my updated Setup from 2021:

At 2021 710$ LiFePO4/Lithium 576Wh Battery solution with 8.5kg: Writeup mobile offgrid solar solution with LiFePO4 It is still strong enough, and I did save a lot of weight and get new space inside of my car.

- It allows to charge with 500W(!!) at campsites, 200W with Solar, 120W during driving with 12v. Just sun let my consuments running extended (weeks) during summer with one 100W EFTE Solar Panel (!!).

- You can charge most devices directly with 12v, even a Mac Book pro - because there is a 100W USB-C Socket.

- 1200W/600W Power Inverter 110v/220v. As you can see, he can run (with undervolting) many devices like a water kettle witch use power way about specs.

- You have an App to use as remote control and have a good Battery Computer.,

- it is small, lightweigt with 8.5kg.

You cant get it smaller and more lightweigt even with using double of the cash as a DYI Project, without dropping some requirements. It is perfect for my Power consuments named above.

I`m currently on a detailed writeup about a DYI Project for a bigger LiFePO4 project, still struggeling to get a USB-C 100W Port for 12v as example.

Those Battery boxes bring a great value! And Ecoflow has the best specs, if you look at the details. And the buildquality is great, I have add a dismantle disassembly and teardown video in my link above.

You can still find LiFePO4 based new/used devices in the FB Group if you ask -and are willing to pay shipping/import. Otherwise you have to optain with lithium specs ;-)
