CAMPLUX 5L 1.32 GPM Outdoor Portable Propane Gas Tankless Water Heater With 1.2 GPM Water Pump

First and foremost: set this thing up at home before taking it to the wilderness! You may find you need things from home depot to get this to work properly.Unit came clean out in box; however, taking caps off water tank lead to water coming out. Must have been a return and repack job. The cold water disconnect leaks like a sieve under the pump pressure with the shower head in the on position. Turning off the shower head the cold water quick disconnect leaks like a fire hose. The shower head leaks badly at the connection. the water heater itself does a good job of heating water. I reckon I can fix the leaking joints with creative use of rubber grommets and/or replacing the fittings. At full blast the pump with drain a 5 gallon bucket of water in under 3 minutes; thus, having a shower head that stops the water flow is a must. Fortunately, the pressure switch on the pump stops the pump when the shower head button is turned off IFF there are not massive leaks in the system.I was able to use one of the small rubber washers that came with the unit to stop the leak in the shower head. A pair of pliers to CAREFULLY turn the quick disconnect fitting on the water intake of the body stopped that leak, too. I do worry about the quick disconnect leaking in the future as my cousin had that happen. Take spare O rings that fit the disconnect with you. All in all, it does work with some effort.

Unlike the other units I have used, water heats quick and can get super hot!! Easy prime and install. Only downside is if you use water that has any small grit/sand that the unit doesn’t pickup in the filter at them bottom of the heater, it will cause issues with the shower head. Be very careful taking it apart or it’s a pain to get back together correctly.

Update: Seller accepted the return and replaced it quite quickly and everything that needed to be in the box is all there this time.I'll add the last star after first use.This just arrived yesterday and as I'm going to install it, I find it's missing the red hose and shower head, 3 hose fittings, mounting screws and no way to connect the pump to power it.I'm supposed to go on an epic camping trip but now I'll be without a water heater for the trip.Ordered a replacement, so let's see how that goes.

Would have given 5 stars but the harness with battery clamps is super short and the 12v power outlet one is 3x as long. The power ends should have been swappable but were not.Besides that the unit is impressive. Pump self primes. When water is flowing the unit ignites and there's hot water by the time you count to 3. Used at a remote cabin with water pumped from a well and greater had no issues making it plenty hot. Definitely a game changer for off grid. Simple set up and take down with quick connections and easy to drain for periods of non use.Impressions from first use. Hoping it lasts a ling time, seems like it should.

I have only used it in several test conditions but its been realistic shower type trials.The well water is 35- 38 deg F, So cold it's uncomfortable to even touch it and it works perfect.I leave both knobs in the center position.If you try to recycle the water as some suggest you run a risk of serious hot water (as in WAYYY to hot).The pump worked perfect. I used a Ryobi Drill 18V battery with a step down 13.8 converter.The shower head is awesome (I had my doubts). Make sure to use the supplied soft rubber gasket.The On/Off on ther shower head works perfect.Quick connect fittings dont leak (hand tight).Gas line was pre-connected.It does not cut in and out like some have said.Fires up and is hot in 3 seconds.Man, I hope this thing lasts.
