Sustainable Energy - Hot Shower Pak

There are 2 Hot Water Systems available from Kimberley

1. Compact Diesel Hot Water system with Visiflow (capable of pumping from stream or billabong for continous hot water)

Notes from Test Trek 2008:

We have had the diesel hot water for 2 years now with excellent results from the field (no known issues in over 160 units fitted).

However, we reconfigured the system to make it even more compact and directly installed the outside hot/cold extendable shower to make it easier to use on the fly. We hosed down (using river water) several items every day. We used the diesel hot water a total of 52 times on a 10 day Test Trek.

It takes only 4-5mins to reach temperature and is virtually instantaneous.

Our Visiflow system managed to lift a 3.5- 4m head of water out of the Darling with acceptable pressure.

The fine filter on the cold supply to the sink meant I drank the filtered river water instead of water from the second tank of “Sydney” water on several occasions. It was a little dry to the taste but perfectly fine with coffee.

The overall vote by all members on the Test Trek is “No1 for the diesel hot water”. It saved endless time in boiling the billy for washing up, which for nine of us took several sessions.

2. Coleman LPG hot water system

It is made up of 4 things:

Ensuite Bathroom that zips onto the side of the Campers on the drivers side
Velcro ensuite floor
Coleman On-Demand Hot Water Heater
Adaptor Kit that connects the Coleman Heater to the Water tank directly

How it sets up in 10 minutes:

The Ensuite Bathroom zips on the side of the Campers like a sock. There is one end window. – 1 minute

Erect 2 poles with ropes on the outside of the ensuite – 4 minutes

Velcro in the floor (after placing down a Kimberley supplied ground sheet) and leave the corner open where the water is going to ‘flow out’ from the ensuite floor. – 2 minutes

Lift the hotwater system out and place inside the ensuite. Hook up the hose to the hot water system and loop it through to the water tank on the Campers. – 2 minutes

Hook the Hotwater hose/rose on the Velcro tabs on the side of the ensuite and turn the hot water heater on. Once the water starts to flow it is instantly hot – you are showering! -1 minute
