I will be waiting to see what you do as i have a 16-49-1 and want to know where I can place it as well. are you going to also connect it to your kitchen tap?

16' Series Where do you mount your Joolca HWS?

Yes plan is to feed hot water to the sink and external shower. Will play around with locations on our trip in a few weeks, once I settle on where I want the unit to live I will look at the mounting point.
Will be a few weeks but will post pics
I ended up putting a black tonneau cleat above the water fill door of the caravan and hang it off there. Put a quick disconnect in the water fill for hot water into the caravan so i have hot water at the sink. The shower tent sets up in front of the wall near the fridge to also keep the sun off that part of the wall.
Next time i have it all set up i will take pics

Hi Chris,
Did you have suggestions on this? I have not bought one yet as i would like to know how i would fit it first.
Any pictures or suggestions welcome.
PS i have a16-49-1 so on the ends is not an option.
Stuart
So how do you then connect the gas and water? Does the inside of the unit, the side against the van get hot?
Thanks for your response.
Stuart
Water is connected by normal brass nylex hose connectors and gas is connected by gas bayonet fitting.
I put a couple of metal door stoppers on the back of the unit to keep it off the wall of the caravan for peace of mind, but it does not get hot, i can put my hand up against it when it is running.

Ok great. This may be a stupid question, but does it work ok? I am really looking initially at the hot water for the sink and maybe the shower option as a later addon
Stuart
Just reading some reviews online and it says that it is not hot enough for dishes, which is what I want it for.
May have to go for other options.

If it's not hot enough for washing dishes, you may as well just boil a kettle.
What did they say about heat for showers, if you want to use it for that?
I'm sure some others here have been impressed with the simplicity of the Joolco but can't remember any negatives re temperature.
I know absolutely nothing about these but have seen the Coleman cubes being used; can't remember if they can be hooked up to the van gas and water. They may just be a step up from a pot on the fire.

Hi,
By what I read, they are good for showers, but do not have the extra heat for washing the dishes. They only heat to a certain temp, dependent on the settings.
Stuart
My setup works fairly well. Would like more heat for dishes as i get mid 40s. I might put a different pump in with more l/m but all is good at the moment
Sorry guys I forgot about this thread.... here is what I ended up doing. Folds away nice into a nylex tub amd connects in couple old secs. Having trouble with the unit, so not sure I could recommend a Joolca at this stage. However the mount and connections work fine.
Thanks for your reply. I will wait for a while and stick with the kettle.
Stuart
It flames out. I am unsure if it's the blowing out of it's some sort of malfunction. I have been contacting Joolca and although they are sometimes slow to respond they do seem to want to help. Initially we though it was the water supply on the van but it's doing it at home connected to mains.
If it blows out as easy as this has been then to me it's pretty useless for our sort of camping as we are normally on the coast somewhere and it's normally windy.
To be fair I could just have a dud unit.
