- On today's episode of Aussie Arvos we are back in the Victorian High Country and we are going to be showing you a new camping mod we've been using in our setup over the past month! Now making camping/4WDing comfortable for everyone you are traveling with is the key to be able to stay out in the bush for longer. And this might seem like alot of luxury to have when camping, but we've found it to be such a benifit on those longer remote trips!

Who can name the river we are camped next too?
Snowy river?
Ovens or Buckland ?
Turon river
well its not in westeren australia as you can not get that close to a river, and they are always dry :)
Howqua. .
I boil 1 kettle of water and pour into a 15L bucket then add 5L of additional water and throw in a $30 submersible shower pump into the bucket. Done. Works a treat!
Well. Let's face it. Let's say what's really going down. NO GIRL wants to bump uglies with a guy with a dirty taint and an unwashed bits. And by the same token no guy wants to be 700 km inland and still be reminded of a fishing village. Without washing neither will be getting the best performance out of their respective rigs.
We use the aquaheat unit. It packs up a heap smaller than this one. This looks a lot more suited for canopy set ups or camper trailers. If you are living out of a wagon, you can't beat the aquaheat for size, weight, and overall effectiveness 👍
Agree mate💯
This is the kind of camping/4wdriving videos i love to see. 4wd24-7 and most of those others have turned into product placement videos, no actual down to the grits getting out into the bush and living. Even if this is literally a video on a single product, its still way better then those others. "oh its a runva" or "get a beer out of the dometic." Its a hot water system and you show how you guys use it. 78k subscribers is a crime for a channel like this. Needs many many more!
"Hey guys check out thos $200k rig take $20k of damage at the expense of our sponsors"
At Least Jocko keeps the channel somewhat relevant for everyone else
This was an advert video mate 😂😂 no different than 4wd 24/7
@@krump743 I totally agree with you. Its just that he shows actually using it, its good and bad points. Its just not a passing brand name reference thats being used to replace "winch" or "Fridge" every 50 seconds.
At least 24/7 has some actual good driving in it
@@billmccarthy5920 Very true. I still love the aussie arvos format. Breath of fresh air.
Love the howqua havnt been there since the early 90s use to get big rainbows, hunt rabbits and ride dirt bikes there.
Going down the typical UA-camr slippery slope of advertising Gary gifty products. I understand you need content and want fund your channel but I refuse to watch whole videos of advertising. Sorry not for me.
Looks like a great complete hot water system kit. I like how it all packs into the one container too. But IMO this is more suited for caravans, camper-vans and or camper trailers. Or 4WDs with a huge canopy setup. For a wagon style 4WD, it takes too much valuable space. I have an 80 Series, and only go camping with my GF, and we have hardly any space left. Imagine if you have kids onboard also.
Totally agree my prado is packed to the brim with just me and my girlfriend
My shower setup in my 105 is just the companion rechargeable camp shower and a 23zero shower awning, we just heat up a pot of water on the stove then drop the showers pump into that, takes up barely any space since the shower fits into a tiny bag and we already have the pots for cooking
Totally agree, I use the KickAss shower and even with the spare battery it fits in my door pocket. Hot showers are a little more work but for the space and weight saving I don’t mind. The other advantages is you can use the cheap shower in saltwater as long as you clean in fresh water after.
@@richardb8492 yeah 100% agree mate
There does look to be a fair bit of empty space in that box. I reckon you could condense it down into a smaller box or bag but you'll have to sacrifice the stand and sink.
its pretty sweet I can admit but in order to fit in with the rest of my gear in my ute will probably need to get some roof racks
So much quicker than a tin can and a fire.... just unload the crate of equipment. Run out 20m of hose and power cable. Hook up a pump and a tap and a gas bottle. Do your dishes. And then start the 20 minutes of packing it all up again..
Dont get me wrong it has its place but compact and quick it is not.
Wind blows the flame out
When u turn it off and then back on it takes ages to heat, wasting water
Too much fiddling around on initial setup getting desired temp correct, wasting water.
Gas cylinders are a pain to carry, let alone 9kgs of gas.
Id rather have a little 6L 12v water heater, less water wastage and temp is spot on everytime.
What's the weight of the 80 sitting at these days?
Have a cold shower like a real man
Love the vid can I ask where you got the three-way connection?I'd love to get one for my camper trailer just need the three-way connection so I can well. Cheers mate
Nice video. Looks a little bulky though. Another point, Biodegradable soap still hurts fish and riparian areas UNTIL it biodegrades and that takes some time. So, biodegradable soap is not good to use directly in a stream but should be used some distance from the water source.
My little version worked well during the gas outage here recently.
It only has a15deg rise so I had to pre heat the water bucket to get the hottest showers.
My small unit has rechargeable batteries and pump built in with internal gas.
So I would have to carry it to the creek to use.
To increase the temp, I use a Gerry can or container, turn on the system and put both the inlet and outlet are into the same container for 5 minutes. I do this when car camping in the cold or snow.
@@markwalters2490 so the same as me.
What a hassle. Just wash in the river! It's what 99% of humanity has always done. High country is full of fresh water
Quality promotional product demo. You're a natural. It looks like a solid bit of kit. Just one problem, it takes far too much space. Even if it all packs into one tub, it's still far too big. Joolna needs to come up with a more compact kit.
This is the nomad kit which includes the tub and tap. There are smaller versions and you can pack away everything separately. The heater unit is about 45x30 x15 or so I think.
To bulky and I don't like carrying LPG aswell. But very neat idea.
Great video, looks like a huge waste of time setting that up.. and the space to store it... no chance!
Honey can you set the shower up! 4hrs later
Hi, if you purchase a 13mm brass one way valve and place it on your garden hose, you can then place the water filter and pickup just below the valve. Fill the garden hose with water connect it to the inlet on the pump. This way the pump can remain close to your vehicle. If you weld a short piece of pipe onto you roo-bar in a vertical orientation. Then purchase a length of aluminum tubing, long enough to give you a decent head clearing and use a diameter that will fit snugly into the tube you welded to your roo-bar. Purchase a length of aluminum tubing fashion it into a basket ball ring bend it around a 44 gallon drum. Weld the ends of the tube together and add a short spike vertically to the ring so that the spike will fit snugly into your vertical length of tubing. Fix a plastic shower curtain via rings to the basket ball ring. Suspend a wire or plastic shower basket from the ring for soap etc, purchase a rubber front door mat to stand on. Hang a butchers hook off the ring to hang your towel and clean cloths on. Now you will be clamping and your missus will dig it. You can now shower naked with privacy anywhere you like. It worked for me wink wink. instead of that big box of stuff I fashioned a heat exchanger out of a 350 x 150mm copper pipe. I place coils of 3/8 soft walled copper tube inside the 150mm drilled two 13mm holes in the top of the 150mm silver soldered to 13mm uprights into those holes and soldered the two ends of the 3/8 to them. I clamped garden hose to them (this is for the cold water). I found the diameter of the heater hose coming from the vehicle engine block, mine was 19mm I cut that rubber tube inserted 2 x19mm T pieces. I then drilled and soldered 2 x 19mm copper uprights into the 150mm copper tube on the same plain as the 2 x13mm cold water pipes. I silver soldered 2 x 150mm welsh plugs into the 2 ends of the 150mm tube to seal the exchanger. I used heater tube to run between the 2 x 19mm tubes and the 2 x 19mm T's.
When your vehicle engine warms up use a 12V pump which I mounted on the inner guard of the engine bay to pump cold water through the 3/8th coils, the engine circulated the radiator coolant through the 19mm heater tubes in the150mm copper tube, heating the cold water in the process. (flowing cold water can reach boiling point) I used a garden nylex Y junctions with water flow regulator tabs fixing the shower rose with on /off switch via a length of garden hose to the Y junction. Now run the hot water to the second point of the Y junction. I then placed another Y junction coming of the cold water pick up pipe and ran a second piece of garden hose between the two Y junctions. You can then regulate both hot and cold water pressure and temperature via the Y junction with the two regulator tabs. You can then ditch that big box of goodies and the gas bottle. You have instant boiling water for a cuppa on call. PS I have mounted this same system to every 4x4 I have owned in the last 40 years with out any issues. Use stainless steel adjustable hose clamps through the system. use good quality garden hose with fibre insert.
Seems way more trouble than it’s worth. Probably ok if camping in the same spot for a week
I hate to be negative but this video seems like only advertisement with not much input added. Just didn't really feel like an Aussie Arvos video. Generally love everything else you've made 😘
Yeah did kinda feel like it but hey they gotta make money some how
Joolca should supply some tanning oil with each kit. Cheers mate. 👍🏻🙏🦘😂
😂😂
The Joolca is by far my best camping purchase to date! Nothing better than a steaming hot shower before bed after a day in the bush!
Looks like an expensive bulky pain in the arse. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
Had that very unit, camped in the bush for work for 2 yrs, had a hot shower everyday. Used 1× 9kg gas bottle in 6 months plus... great back up service too... have always shaken my head at these you tubers ect, with poor camp set ups.. your now miles ahead of all of them... enjoy the endless hot water...
I kinda understand how you use it and how I need to use it, I just want to take a 5 gallon water bottle, like a big absopure bottle, and put a water hose to the tank. In other words just follow what I'm saying: just in case my hot water tank goes out in my home, so no more hot water obviously... but I still want to have hot water to wash dishes with and shower with. So can I just keep the unit and propane tank outside, but take a 25 or 50 foot garden hose and dip it into the 5 gallon bottle and get hot water?? Kind of confused 🤔, so summing it all up, I want the entire unit but I want to get hot water from a 5 gallon water bottle and that's it. Nothing else... can I do it?? 🤔...oh and just in case my water company cuts my water off because of non payment or emergency purposes, so that's why i want to use a 5 gallon water bottle instead of a pump.
Looks like it works well, but gee Giant fuck around and takes up way to space…might be ok if you stay in one spot for days on end. But when your packing up each day to move on all this stuff just takes away from the simplicity of camping. More suited to camper trailer/caravans I think.
Mines an older unit & can be a little temperamental at times. My experience is that it’s too bulky and uses too much water unless near a water source. Also doesn’t seem to get hot enough in winter.
What brand and model is that wheel bag? Thanks
You're going need a G.V.M upgrade for sure.
Haha. Watch his other videos where he shows he's already over GVM but he keeps adding more and more gear. Must be at least 3 - 400kg over by now.
Way over 😂
Your girlfriend is gold.
Had mine for 7yrs now and still going strong as the day i bought it. My only recommendation is grab a Joolca double en-suite for when near other people. So quick to put up and down and so bloody light. Shitta and shower one side and dry area other side.
Definitely not needed for camping
Hang it from a tree away from your truck & camp if possible. Flooding your fire pit & campsite isn't the best idea. A muddy camp doesn't make sense if it could be avoided. You could even get a pop up shower if you are worried about privacy.
Budgie smugglers mate.
Looks amazing - maybe its glamming, but only just
Patty , probably want to set it up so it’s doesn’t run into the fire pit, might make it a little difficult to light the fire later !! 😂👍🏼
Awesome shower my parent have on in there camper trailer. But it's not a real touring shower because it uses way to much water and you practically need a running stream because it just drinks the water.
But if you can fit it and have running water why not 🤘
They are pretty good unit, as I have had the old style for about 7 or more years and there is only a few thing to keep an eye on, on my unit.Cold water intake has gauze inside connector and when blocked shuts down. Vent on top when I purchased mine was fitted back to front and wouldnt let the gas heat out and shut down and the last one only happenned 1 month ago and that is make sure you have good batteries as poor batteries no igniter.I am also running 8ltr/min 12v pump ,gravity fed from tank with Bunnings filter ,black with 1/2 in in and out and 40 minute showers no worries.
Great video mate, tells it like it is! We've had out Joolca Hot tap for about a year and love it!
Never thought I'd be giving a video of a pasty white kid showering a thumbs up but here it is lol
Great work as always!
🤣🤣🤣 gold
Great camping accessory, every camper should have one. 👍
Youre lucky youve got a gal that loves camping. But I think youve sold me on hot water
Been running a Joolca plumbed in for about 5 years, great system. Try the extension kit and a Darche Eclipse shower tent.
So much friction in a garden hose, I realise you parked a fair way from river but it would be a lot wiser to carry a bucket of water to 4x4 and have a very short and possibly bigger dia hose, you’ll be surprised at the pressure difference
There is also an aussie company that makes inline salt water 12v pumps that heat via your engine and aircon systems they are great you set them up and just have a hose running to a body of water only issue is you need to run the car
This guy can sell anything 🔥
And he is only 15 and knows nothing.
This really looks like way too much effort. 12V electric water heater a lot easier. Flick it on an hr before getting to camp and when you arrive piping hot water.
My dad bought a kings gas hot water and setup and use is literally the exact same from my experiences with it id say it preforms just as well as the one in this video only downside to the kings one is it doesn't come with all the features like this one with the adapters carry tub / sink etc its literally just got a shower head but you could quite easily make a sink and other attachments for what it is works quite well and id guess is alot cheaper then this brand for those on a budget just be aware quility control on kings is shit and you might have a very different experience with the product to my dad and myself ive had friends buy the same kings product as me and there's has died on the first use so the quility can bet really different from one product to the next 😂
that would be great......... at a RV/ camping park. as for the bush, not so much.
Just be aware the Joolca has the new LPG connector with the external thread on the cylinder.
This is a fantastic package! Thanks for showing it to us.
I love that Joolca water pump, but it doesn't seem to be available separately.
Great idea ..get yourself a rubber mat with the holes in it from Bunnings mate ..no muddy feet ..used to do this prospecting 👍👍
love the idea! thanks John!
We use a 1m square fake lawn mat. Works great
@@walkabout_adventures I would probably glue the grass mat on top of the rubber mat for a little extra elevation
Other way round mate ,I need a hot bush in the shower 👍
With a couple of kids, there’s no room for a big box, realestate is precious when the rear seat is taken.
man 20kg of weight? loss of room , why u not just jump in river ?
this is the perfect thing ive been needing for my upcoming setup, im planning on traveling australia and needed to find a good shower system, cheers
Pattie you should check out the Companion Aquaheat lithium, smaller & more portable.👍
That filter did a great job of keeping alligators out ….
So…. Would it work with salt water at the beach that would be handy then just rinse dishes with fresh etc at the ebd
For $700 that’s not bad 🤙🏻
i made the mistake of not compromising with the camp set up. basic/easy suited me n the small group i camped with(family). everyone likes basic/easy camp but if u want certain people to keep coming a little compromise doesnt hurt n i started enjoying it as well. keep chasing the touring dream Patty with ur GF.
Nothing like dirty rugs for a night of passion??? I'm sure the GF loves Kraft.
Got to keep the Mrs happy 😄 good pod cast ✔️✔️
I want to get an inline fill pump like you showed. What is the name of yours? Or a link. Used my instant hot water heater for the first time. So nice for washing up and dishes!!! 😊
Hi Steve, this is the pump that came with the kit, you can buy it separately here: www.joolca.com.au/products/12v-pump?_pos=1&_sid=76dabd426&_ss=r
I am buying one of these for my remote hunting cabin in the west virginia mountains. putting a Y fitting inline to run both my sink and shower. This will make camp so much nicer
I think the most difficult part to this (and I can’t seem to find a video covering it) is assuming we’re going to be using it off-grid out of a water source like. 5 gallon jug 1) what size/power 12 volt pump to buy without spending a lot 2) which connectors (including quick connects) and size hosing do I need to buy (for the camplux) so that they all don’t leak? Sorry but there are SOOO MANY TYPES/SIZES of CONNECTORS that it becomes VERY FRUSTRATING 😢. for those of us that are not plumbers. 13:31 3)what gauge wires (and on/off switch) will I need to build an extension to my 12volt fuse block with on/off switch. Any help on these matters are greatly appreciated! 13:31
They are pretty good unit, as I have had the old style for about 7 or more years and there is only a few thing to keep an eye on, on my unit.Cold water intake has gauze inside
Great work Pat! 1,000,000 views coming right up!
Thanks Tristan!
The JOOCLA pump is impressive, have pushed mine from 3m of head via creek. But not e self works better when camping form a water way
Is it necessary to use the filter with the supplied blue hose as demonstrated in the video? If they're standard quick connect plugs on the pump, I'm assuming its the same for the filter head?
Hey mate good video, that starting section needs a little more work on the sound mixing. On the headphones it’s not too bad but any mid range speakers end up losing enough detail that it’s a bit of effort to distinguish your voice.
Not a major thing but figured you’d want to know.
Does the temperature fluctuate at all?
Are you considering and In line filter on the hose when pumping water for usage or to fill up tanks or jerry cans? Some sources aren't as clean as the one in the vid. Just wondering what your thoughts are on that?
You forgot to show how it fits in the 4WD
I’ll stick to my steel bucket and lithium shower head
It’s so compact it allows me to take more beer!
Just FYI, if space in your vehicle is a major concern, there are a few similar items that are already in the market that are 1/3 or less the size of this.
Definitely get a shower awning on the other side of your vehicle so it's not making the ground muddy in your 'living space'
Dude, what is the new tap you've fitted to the water jerry!?? The one ours came with leak so bad and I've been looking for a replacement like yours. You recommend it?
Yeah i use a Pope tap from bunnings, had it on the jerrycan for over 2 years now, works perfectly! doesn't bind up!
here is the link: www.popeproducts.com.au/irrigation/poly-fittings/13-mm-fittings/13-mm-barb-x-20mm-threaded-bspm-in-line-tap
Legend, cheers! Great video, I’ve liked and subscribed. All the best
It’s cool but it’s way too bulky for me :/
Im gonna get one. I saw enough of the video before your ultra white chest burned my retinas out. 😂 great vids mate.
The Links are not working
Guys I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with this product, a perfect hot shower.!! Joolca has completely blown our expectations out of the water…! This product is perfect in every way, even the shower head is amazing, wide and soft. The water temperature and the way it is controlled is perfect every time. The method and ease of use of the shower head, how it is easy to turn on and off, amazing. The setup is easy also, all the attachments you need that work perfectly.
Looks great , all it needs is 4 push in legs to lift the sink up off the ground and a plug hole. Cheers RUSTY.
I have one of those systems and it’s bloody awesome used it for the first time last week at Dirk hartog island highly recommend if anyone is thinking about getting one
i feel like the pump it self may be waterproof but the power inlet hole may not be lol id be carful leaving it out in the rain :) might blow the pump
How noisy is the pump?
This is on the trending list? Would be way over 40k views by now!
Nice talk on soap, can I also suggest that better to use liquid soap to prevent wax build up in soil from cakes soaps.
Looks like I’m gonna need a bigger truck!
I think a heat exchanger is better suited to your size of setup
Good bit of kit hey.
Glamming indeed 😂😂👌
I love your video's, have you seen FJ touring and camping. There a lot of water in the hoses. How trying to carry water. Why not recycle shower, solar bags, or heat water stove and campfire. A copper tub say on the sizzler BBQ stove with pump. It's something on my mind and outback travel.
I have a ever shower. I have the same camper as going overland, his washing cloths and ev 4x4 video is worth a watch. I loved the lights video. I bought a few Pir sensors. I have built an alarm. Also seen a video with 3m colour tape for changing led lights for inscets. Russell
Black shower bag when we cook dinner we heat some water up simples.
You just need a Starlink and you can be off grid for a very long time
nice, i have used the Aqua Cube for the last 7 years, it has been awsome. on my last trip it finally failed so i have been looking at a new set up, think i might go this way.
What an awesome product 👏 👌 on the shopping list it goes.
You've sold me. Looks like a great unit. While not camping will bring nice hot water to my workshop too.
Nice advertisement
