    Considering Camplux 5L... Hose length woes...

    To answer the questions. Yes, adding additional wire to get power to the pump is a negligible issue. Nothing annoying at all. I just have no clue what pump specs I would need to look into. The reasoning behind potable water / food grade hose would be I am planning on using the water heater to...

    Considering Camplux 5L... Hose length woes...

    So after looking into the Joolca HOTTAP V2, I am looking at alternatives as the Joolca is, well, expensive. And none of these units seem to have sufficient length hoses anyway, so... I am considering maybe the Camplux 5L with the pump https://amzn.to/3ilhsyM The Joolca has hoses that are...

    Cabelas Deluxe Shower Shelter.

    I have a Cabelas Deluxe Shower Shelter bought new in either 2005 or 2006. The unit is complete, clean, and in exceptional shape. I am including the original 5 gallon shower bag. I did replace the hanging cord for the shower bag with lime green paracord because, well I don't trust the original...

    Joolca Ensuite Double. Updated, tour, and Zodi hot shower mod video added,

    For me, the deciding factor between the Ozark Trail, and the Joolca, as I mentioned I have some back issues, and the lack of having to add the rainfly over the Ensuite was pretty key. With the advent of drones, I'm pretty sure I don't want a shower enclosure open to the sky... The Joolca fixes...

    Hard shell tent?

    I know they used to make Hard Sided pop up camper trailers. I believe the name brands were "Apache" and "Palomino". My Dad had a mid 80s Palomino Pop up when he first moved to the PNW (after my parents divorce, to be close to where Mom and my brother moved to). He basically full timed in it at...

    Joolca HOTTAP V2 Nomad Kit. Is it worth the price?

    I am thinking set up and leave set up the Ensuite plumbing kit in my Ensuite Double. Figure out a way to support the faucet to service the sink in my Cabelas Deluxe Campers Kitchen. No intention to use the blue tub other than as a means to carry the gear.

    Overlanding / Camping / Nomad showers.

    Great answers so far folks! Seems the pressure sprayer approach is more popular than I had thought... No batteries for sure. K.I.S.S. works here for sure!

    Overlanding / Camping / Nomad showers.

    If you use a heated off grid shower, please vote. Obviously not mandatory, but I would like to get an idea of how folks solve this issue and stay comfortable off grid...

    Overlanding / Camping / Nomad showers.

    So my looking into the Joolca HOTTAP v2, mostly caused by my infatuation with the flick a switch and hot water comes out immediately thing, has me thinking... #1. Does the Joolca give you hot water straight away when starting with very cold water, or do you need to recirculate and warm the...

    Is braided Polyester rope good for guy lines with large tarps and awnings?

    Something to keep in mind, not much, if any Poly is UV stable. So be prepared to replace your guy lines periodically. Having said that, paracord, which is basically what is used by most MFGs for tent and / or canopy guy lines. I use paracord for guy lines on a 12x24 tarp rig, and to guy out...

    Joolca HOTTAP v2 fuel supply questions.

    I have one of those, an 18' from Camco. And I think my head just figured it out. Thanks... I think the Gas Knect wil install into the POL just at the regulator. Looking at it again, that doesn't look like a POL, that looks like a flare. This would be a lot easier if Joolca support would be...

    Joolca HOTTAP v2 fuel supply questions.

    I finally found a picture of the fittings the fittings they use... looks like a POL to POL hose... A female POL to female throwaway bottle thread adapter would allow me to use my 18' Camco hose... I think I will talk to the propane supplier in Pasadena about how to convert / extend this...

    Joolca HOTTAP v2 fuel supply questions.

    I am taking a shot in the dark here hoping someone will be able to answer this for me... The Joolca HOTTAP v2 doesn't appear to use standard "Disposable" thread hoses or connections, but rather what looks like a POL tank connection with a regulator, and their proprietary Gas Knect quick connect...

    Perfect Camp Stove Griddle?

    If teflon coated aluminum cookware is your thing, that looks to be a good solution, however... I am not sure why you seem to have an issue with CI since it appears you are using a Coleman 424 Dual Fuel. That stove easily supports my Lodge CI. The drain wells on the flat side are reasonably...

    Joolca Ensuite Double. Updated, tour, and Zodi hot shower mod video added,

    An update. The weather has been downright foul here since the Ensuite arrived, so I finally knuckled under and set it up in the living room to get a feel for size. For those not familiar with my posts and my story, I am a large man, so space is vital for me. I was leery of the 3.5ft x 7ft...

    Light weight '04 F150 5.4L 3V build.

    I am looking for the videos now to get some ideas of how he did it, but there is a guy in Oregon with a Red 04 - 08 F150 with a home made camper shell with a slide out, well... bustle I guess you would call it, so he uses the entire length of the bed, and the tailgate when it is deployed as...

    Crew cab long bed (8ft) for overlanding??? Is this viable or realistic?

    Like so many other things, the answer is. It depends... I wouldn't try running the Rubicon trail in a camper based on a long bed crew cab. Your odds of making it without major damage to your rig, and the trail are massively small. That same rig, assuming 4x4 with some decent ground clearnace...

    Have you made your own DIY propane hose for a camp stove?

    For starters, no I have not made my own, nor would I. Not particularly safe. HOWEVER, to answer your other question, and one not asked but you are going to get an answer anyway.... No, the fitting between the stove, and pipe are not universal. Which is why I sold my Brinkmann Stainless Steel 2...

    Joolca HOTTAP V2 Nomad Kit. Is it worth the price?

    The reviews of the Joolca are beyond good with one exception I saw where the plastic tub from the Nomad kit broke. Honestly at that price tag I fully expect Joolca should take care of any issues for a considerable time frame... The HOTTAP V2 I don't think has been on the market long enough to...

    Joolca HOTTAP V2 Nomad Kit. Is it worth the price?

    Alternative burners for an on demand water heater would absolutely get my interest a LOT more in the price tag. However I must admit I am more interested in Regular Unleaded Gas, however I totally get the interest in diesel... Looking around, honestly, aside from the stand, and some spit and...
