We purchased the unit for our Park Model Vacation Trailer to replace the 10-gallon electric water tank. After hooking it up on the trailer for us to have super long showers without heating an electric tank --- we realized it would also work well for a backyard garden tub. We purchased a number of fittings and ball-valves, a hose to fill and a hose to drain the stock tank and rigged it all up. It works fantastic for our needs. When we want to have Spa-Tub time we turn the valve to fill up the tub and when we are finished bathing we turn the valve back and it gives continuous hot water to our trailer for dishes and showers. Very satisfied with the experience and ease to convert into our special need at our vacation property.
So... we knew when we got it that performance at higher elevations might be iffy, but we got it anyways 'cause hubs really doesn't like cold showers when dry camping. We used it for five days at 10k feet elevation and 50-55F temps in the early evening and it worked great!
Used in our outdoor shower at our camp. SO MUCH nicer than a camper shower. Warm, easy to set up and operate, just keep it covered with a tarp when we're gone. Highly recommend!
The first time I used it was 2 month ago, we were 30 peoples on 4 days outdoor hiking, we take a shower one after the otherThe hot control bottom was just a little bit above minimum and the water flow was at min as well to save waterThe gas stops when the water flow stop and It didn't use much gasIt was about 5 min between showers, so when you press the shower handle on, its take 1-3 seconds until the hot water arriving (the water on the tube cool a little bit)The Camplux works flawlessly and I am happy with the way its build and working and in my opinion its definitely worth the money
Hi there!I'm a Maine Guide and Purchased the Camplux Pro 1.58 GPM Tankless Propane Water Heater along with the Camplux JK-3206P 12V Water Pump 6L/Min 65 PSI High Pressure Caravan Boat Gas Hot Water System this past September for a guided a moose hunt. There were four of us on this hunt, our 2 sports, the camp owner/ cook and myself planning on being there for up to 10 days. This September was very warm in the North Maine Woods for this hunt with temps in the mid to upper 70's. As you can imagine a shower was a welcome thing at the end of the days. The water heater and pump performed fabulous and supplied us with a hot shower in the cool evenings. I look forward to more trips being and being able to have a hot shower in the middle of nowhere!
El calentador se ve robusto, compacto y de fácil instalación, además que trae todos los accesorios necesarios para una buena instalación, aún no lo instalo pero para lo que indica el manual se acomoda bien a lo que requiero
We are building a house and needed hot water for dishes and showers. This little hot water heater is amazing and heats the water quickly! Had to turn it down because it got too hot. Everything was included in the box to set up (minus the DD batteries and propane). I would definitely recommend and buy again!
plumbed into camper hot water line. flow to sinks are somewhat lower but higher flow heaters don't cost much more. hot water is endless! included shower head is actually better than original camper shower head and has plenty flow. high winds mess with fire but seldom a problem. propane use has dropped drastically as it only heats when water flows. 6 gallon tank heater kicked on 10 times/day.
I like this unit…it’s used to rinse off before & after using our spa tub…wasn’t hard to make the connections… install 2 D batteries & you have really hot water on demand.
I have used this for my daily showers in hot or cold weather for the last 18 months.The good:- Good and hot showers down to just above freezing temperatures- Has proven reliable- D Cell batteries have only needed replacement once- Easy to install- 20 lb tank lasts about 2 months even with multiple people taking hot showers dailyCould be better:- Fahrenheit temperature indication would be nice for us Americans. But hey I never had any shower temperature indication ever before in my life.- Due to constant exposure to steam and moisture (in a contained shower) the lower surface and lower mount points are beginning to rust.- A seasonal temperature adjustment switch would be nice to allow for a lower heat setting. I have found that summer showering can result in either too cold showers with the heater completely off or too hot of a shower with the heater at lowest setting.Tips to the user:- Flush the unit with vinegar periodically in order to avoid scale buildup. I had to do so just after a year of multiple daily showers. Water flow became erratic and temperature would climb due to restricted water flow. I performed my flushing with a diaphragm style water pump.- Install an inline filter (SHURFLO 255-313)- I would recommend installing a waterproof switch to disable the water heater if needed- I would use silicone sealant to seal the battery compartment (I have had a few instances of the device not turning on due to corroded batteries).- Drain the water heater by disconnected inlet and outlet hoses during freezing weather.
Living in a camper full time while our house is being built. Having a nice hot bath makes me feel human after working on the property all day. It’s normally a lot of work involving a fire and boiling several pots of water. This was so much easier. I’ve only used it twice so far but I’m loving it.
Upgrade to 5 Stars; After used for few weeks. It works perfectly without problems. The other brand would shut off when it's windy, but not Campus. Appears to be much better quality. The shower head has a much better shut off control knob. I be happy if it last 2 seasons.The previous brand(Ec#@temp) that I had, which only last 1 season. I kept it inside during winter. Smoke came out from the unit during second season.Cost $20 more is worth it.
Shipped on time. Small and light weight. Worked perfectly right out of the box. It runs the hot water for my shower and sink in my bus conversion. I'll recommend this for tight fitting places. Also can be vented outside easily.
I bought this tankless heater due to the good reviews and the price. On May 22 our home burned down leaving us homeless other the a camper we had in the back yard for when we had sleepovers. The camper is not hooked up to any sewer line so running water to it would do us no good. It is going to take 3-4 months to get the house livable, since I have outdoor skills, I turned out BBQ area into a wall in shower and a place to do dishes. I am soooo impressed with this tankless heater! Never run out of hot water, the water stays at a nice warm temp and it was easy to hook up. We love it so much we are gonna get a larger unit for the house. Plus now when it's all said and done, I have a new addition to take camping with me鈾ワ笍 I am a lady and haven't had to call tech support for nothing, definitely worth the money!!
Works perfectly on calm to low wind days. Having the water temperature displayed is great. Moderate to high winds can shut off the flame in the middle of a shower and you need to restart.
Have it hooked up but have not actually used it yet. Purchased for an outdoor shower at an off-grid property. Real easy to set up and should fulfill the off-grid need very well.
Ordering was easy.
Shipping was on time without any damage.
Nothing was missing.
Set up was easy with clear instructions.
Product works great and heats up very cold well water as high as 125F (hotter than needed for a shower).
Only just installed and run once but operating perfectly with our 15# water pressure. Unit appears well made…. All except for the two plastic fittings for water in and out. We installed in a permanent situation in an outdoor stall, so connections were to threaded flex hose. I was VERY careful not to over tighten the flex hose into plastic fittings….and it appears to have been a success!
Over all I’m happy, but after a week it started blowing black smoke. I opened it up and cleaned the heat exchange fins and it seems to be work as it should again
We replaced our previous outdoor shower heater with this Camplux model, 3 months ago. It has been working great and is much less susceptible to wind gusts than our old heater from another manufacturer. The built-in chimney and rain cap probably help keep the flame going in our coastal winds. The digital temperature readout is helpful for setting the heat to a comfortable level, as our inlet water temperature changes from our well to the shower location.
Used this as the heater component for my above ground pool. I have a 12 foot round pool (about 1500 gallons). PVC from the pool thru a pump into the heater and back into the pool. I have the pump on a continuous timer, 10 minutes on then 3 minutes off. I get about 3-4 degrees temperature rise per hour and a 3 hour run uses about 7 lbs of propane. During the summer I was only running it about an hour to bring the water to 84 degrees on the top and about 82 at the bottom. This has been a great heater for this. Water comes in mid-70s and exits about 140. Couldn't be happier.
Used this for an outdoor shower and it was a great decision. Sometimes the temperature would fluctuate to unbearably hot or would go to freezing. Have to turn it off and turn it back on. But, overall it was great. Very easy to set up.
Easy setup and provides many showers off a #30 bottle. I have been amazed at just how well it works! Would buy again and happy to refer people to the camplux water heaters.
This is a really cool device. It allows you to have hot water when no hot water is available. This can be used at home or when you are out camping. It is a pretty cool device for emergency situations and it really is something that you never know you need until you need it. I grew up in a place where you had two of the following, either water, power or gas, and never all three at the same time. This heater would have solved the gas problem and allowed me to have hot water. This was in Naples Italy in 1975 if you are interested.Setup is easy. You connect everything. Follow the rules and you will have hot water soon enough. You do need propane but that is easy enough to get. Once everything is ready to go the propane takes a moment to get through the lines. The fire starts and your water is ready to heat.You might never need this but I will say that having one and never needing it and not having one and needing it are two very different things. One gives you the promise of a hot bath while the other gives the promise of a cold shower. Regardless, if you are considering something like this check this one out.
Had to purchase as our home water heater burst. Construction still has not been done. Four+ weeks w/o hot water heater. Shower by heating water on stove. Weeks away before the new water heater will be installed. Decided to buy this item. Finally we can take a hot shower.Several problems…..main items are the quick fit connectors. They are worthless. Leak. No good Chinese fittings. Forced to go to Home Depot next day to buy fittings to replace. Not happy with that at all.Takes a little playing to adjust the temperature but stays solid after you set it. Shower not strong but certainly more than adequate so that is not an issue.Heats up very fast. Quiet. Very little heat emitted at exhaust. Should not be a fire issue at all.Instructions are so-so. Need to do better on that.All in all, I am quite happy with this as it is performing well for what we need.Prepare to throw the plastic quick fittings away and spend money at the hardware store.I would have given this 5 stars if it weren’t for those cheap fittings.
I did have a problem with my original unit, tried to troubleshoot with their team, and after it was determined mine was defective they sent a new unit.
We bought this for our outdoor shower at our camper. Works great. We had a issue with the gas regulator provided with the unit, but their technical support staff diagnosed the issue and sent us a replacement immediately.Completely satisfied.
I’m happy to say that this water heater exceeded my expectations! There’s a lot I wanted to talk about in this review, so please be advise if you don’t want to read the full review of my setup, please skip to the end. Also, I apologize for not taking any photos of my setup at the campsite, for the purpose of this review. But here’s my story…This past Memorial Day weekend, my family and friends did a camping trip up near Swamp Lake, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. If some of you are familiar with that area, you know as much as I do about how cold the water can be up there around this time of the year. The elevation is somewhere around 7,500 feet above sea level. My family and friends enjoy outdoor tent camping, with no trailers or anything of that sort, that would come with a hot water heater. For the longest time, we would get our hot water, for showering, by just boiling water taken from a nearby creek. But with some difficulties over the past couple years of having to carry 5 gallon buckets of water up the hill (Because I’m getting old, lol), I felt it would be in our best interest to invest in a portable water heater.My really biggest concern, after constant research of various types that are available in the market, was that I’m afraid it might not work in higher elevations. [Just an FYI, for those who haven’t read about it yet, some water heaters will not work at higher elevations due to the fact that the air will too thin and cannot fuel the flames]. Nonetheless, as the trip is nearing, I had to make a decision to purchase one soon, so that I can test it out on this trip. Some other important factors that I had to consider before making this purchase were: 1) How many gallons per minute flow rate is enough to enjoy a nice shower? 2) How much of an increase would there be in the water heating temperature, over the source that it’s coming from? 3) How far from the source of the water to our campsite, or showering station? 4) What if our campsite is at a much higher elevation than the water source, what size pump do I need to lift the weight of the water up to the shower location?After watching a few YouTube videos of the Camplus 1.58gpm, and conducting a few tests myself on the flow rate; the 1.58 gallons per minute, was adequate for our needs. Also the specification of the temperature rise of this product heating from cold water source, to providing hot water appeared to be within my satisfactory range. Next up, I had to find a pump that I can depend on, that can get us the water up to where we need it. I chose a diaphragm pump, that will automatically shut off when the waterline is pressurized enough, and it can lift water up to 100 feet, while sustaining a flow rate of 3 gallons per minute. I’ll provide the link to the pump below. I also decided to purchase a 120v ac plug type pump, as I felt these types of pump can provide more power for what they cost, versus the 12v dc pumps. As a power source, I used a 550 watt hour power station, and would switch over to a generator every time the power station would run out of battery(it came with an lcd screen to monitor power levels). I would recommend using both the automatic shut off pump, and a portable power station, in tandem with the water heater itself. With that set up, the hot water is now operated with just one on/off switch at the shower head. Another way to put it, is when you turn on the showerhead, it’ll trigger the water to flow, which then triggers the propane to light, which then triggers the pump to automatically turn on, which then draws power from the power station. And when you turn the shower head off, the propane tank automatically turns off, and the pump will automatically shutoff and going into standby mode, because it’s not sensing water flow anymore, and the power station will also go into standby mode to conserve battery life. And on a side note, the 350 watt peak/550watt hour power station I used was enough for twelve 10 minute shower session, without having to charge once. When it runs out of battery, I would switch to the generator while I put the power station on charge at the same time, and be used again later (I haven’t purchased a solar charger for it yet to make things a little easier. IMO, I chose to go with a power station because it’s just too costly on fuel and resources, and more work involved, to run a gas generator every time you need to shower). Don’t quote me on the exact numbers, but the pump I was using only draws around 35watts of energy, to 90watts max. So any generator and many power stations can handle the water pump easily. Anyways enough said about that…At the campsite, where I put that setup to the test, the temperature of our source of water, from the creek, was fluctuating somewhere around 36°F to 42°F. (Even in the day time, because there were some overcast clouds, and there were still patches of snow near our campsite). The distance to get the water from the creek, to the water heater at the shower station, was about 50 feet of travel, going up a sloped hill to roughly 20 feet higher than the creek. As expected, the water pump worked flawlessly, providing us with good pressure. With the water being that cold, I set the water heater temperature knob at 75% heat, and adjusted the water pressure down to 50% flow rate, and I was getting an Average of 104°F coming out of the shower head. I even tested the temperature knob set to max, and it got to 129°F, which was hot enough to burn and irritate the skin. So I am extremely satisfied in that category. And at 50% flow rate, it was just enough to keep the body soaked, and keeping me from feeling the surrounding cold ambient air temperature in the morning. Other people that went with me on this trip tested their preferences by adjusting the heater knob, and water pressure to their liking; and no matter how it was adjusted, we all got to shower with a minimum water temperature of 100°F. So all 21 people that went on this trip were extremely happy with this product and the setup we had. Every time we showered, the flames would burn with no issues at all, and not a single failure. So at 7,500 feet above sea level, there were zero issues with propane burning. As soon as you turn on the showerhead, the water was already warm enough to begin showering within 5 seconds. For 3days and 2nights, one 20-pound propane tank used for this setup, was enough fuel to provide hot 10 minute showers, for 21 people, showering twice a day. The 2D batteries that was required to ignite the propane also lasted on this trip without needing to be replaced.The only complaint I have about this water heater is that the fittings are cheap plastic. Rather than dealing with the possibility of it breaking, I decided to purchase brass fittings to replace them, and test them out, prior to going on this trip. Some parts I used were quick disconnect couplers for easier disconnecting of the hoses and pump for storage, and in case I needed to move things around. They’re more expensive, but well worth it!Here’s just to give you an idea of the cost of the water heater, with the pump I used, and upgrading to brass fitting (which I feel is a must IMO), and I also purchased 150 feet total of hoses. This will run you around $350-$380 dollars. Personally, I think if you camp often, and having hot showers is important to you, and if it’s within your budget, I say it’s worth it! Additionally, you can use it in other situations, or for other things, such as washing dishes.I DID NOT include the cost for a few things that were in my setup, because those items I personally feel are optional, or items that you probably plan on taking with you already to camp. Those items are showering tent, portable power station/generator, and propane. I also left out the cost for the additional sediment filter I purchased to put on the inlet hose, which is also optional for me (but I do somewhat recommend using it, even though the creek water was already clear). It was a 50micron sediment filter. So really I think the main important thing that you need for your water heater itself, is the water pump. I have the link to the water pump I used below. I hope this review help answer some questions you have.
