I could fit a 15L Isotemp heat exchanger (https://www.rvworldstore.co.nz/isotemp- ... er-slim-15) in my engine bay.
Does anyone own one of these already and can please tell me:
1. How long it takes to heat the cylinder from cold (using engine not 240 AC)
2. How long will the water stay warm enough to wash up or take a shower?
I am intending to find some way to insulate it to keep water warm for a while.
The van is my daily driver and the reason for wanting the heater is to wash up while camping (just overnight trips no long stays) and the odd shower after being in the sea.
Running off AC is not an option as I won't be installing a grunty enough inverter.
Just trying to weigh up if it's worth the expense/effort or should I just boil a saucepan to wash up.
