Has anyone any experience of using HOTTAP

As seen at https://www.joolca.co.uk/

I'm a bit surprised not to have seen these featured on youtube videos of the more basic van converters as s simpler (but outdoor) solution for showers / washing up water supply especially as it a continuous supply rather than preheating a set amount of water as many van systems do

Have any of you seen these / tried them?

Not that brand, but we have used a Kampa Geyser portable gas water heater for a number of years while wild camping in our VW Amarok. The most efficient way to use these types of appliance is to cycle the cold water through a largish container to warm it through - an open top plastic dumpy type thing is good - before using it to shower with. There are a few YouTube videos of those ones.

Daft as maybe, but I prefer to use the one inside.

Used these while in the desert. They get hot enough to burn you, but needs sunshine to work, something we’re kinda short of

Nice for a freshen up when you get out of the sea. I have a separate whale pump with a shower attachment on the end. Just decant the hot water into a tub, add cold to reduce the temperature a tad, and pump away. For privacy, I have sometimes taken the tub inside the van and used the on board Riech pump to pump the hot water through to our own shower. Obviously it's a fixed temperature though, but a cheap shower.

I remember seeing an on Italian motorhome on an Aire in the South of France.

It had a huge Black plastic tank on top that the owner filled with water once on-site.

Endless hot water in the summer, probably too hot and unable to be able to be driven due to top heavy weight. Neat idea though .

I found that a 20ltr black plastic drum worked nearly as well as the custom bag, and easier to manhandle about.

I have seen a couple of self build MH and they went for slimline "on demand" gas boilers like you would find at home.

I like the idea, but wonder why I haven't seen many vans set up this way?
