    Just brought a camper trailer to get the kids and wife out bush. Loved the comparison you did. Would be great to hose the kids down with hot water after a day of playing in the bush and getting feral so my new pride and joy does’t get to dirty on the inside. Keep up the good info you are getting out there to us beginners out there. 🤟👌

    G'day mate. bit late to the party here but glad I've come across your video none the less. I was looking at SAN HIMA Portable Gas Hot Water Heater System 8L because its bloody cheap but I am now heavily leaning towards this fella. It's up there in price compared to what I can get the San Hima or Companion aquaheat for but hopefully earns it back by just being a better unit.
    Thanks for the review

      G'Day mate, hands down wort it's weight in Gold 🪙 way better then an other shower I've used. They now make a power pack for the pump as well to make it full off grid. Lete know your thoughts after you get it.

    Yeah joolca looks the goods, I would be making the hoses as short as possible and maybe even narrower, I know they say don’t do it but I would mount it to the front of the canopy and just use it with the doors open.

    • @Off.Track4x4
      @Off.Track4x4  Рік тому

      Hey mate, very little heat coming out of them I reckon you could mount in a canopy as long as plenty of airflow. Why would you want to make the hoses shorter though? Flow and pressure is amazing.

    Watched your first video on the Aquaheat as i am looking at grabing one. What went wrong with it? I originally was looking at the Joolca but the Aquaheat looks a little more portable...shame about the fittings and hose quality. I was going to connect it straight into the 100ltr undertray water tank with pressure pump. The regulator you mentioned in the other video could be a ball valve to reduce the flow maybe. Thanks for the info on both.

    • @Off.Track4x4
      @Off.Track4x4  Рік тому +1

      G'Day mate, do not buy the Aquaheat! The Joolca is miles better in every way. I don't believe they make the water pressure regulator any more, that means if you connect it up to a higher pressure pump the water will be colder.
      My Aquaheat computer module froze and only way to fix it was to send it away for repair. So I just took it back for a refund.
      As far as portable goes, if you don't go the kitchen set up Joolca they actually aren't to bad for size.

    • @Off.Track4x4
      @Off.Track4x4  11 місяців тому

      I can 100% back the Joolca, after now having it for almost a year I can not tell you how much better it is then everything else on the market. I like to be clean when I go camping and the campaign just didn't have the pressure to do that. Where the Joolca we have no issues.

      G'Day Haydon,
      Glad you enjoyed it, Make sure to check out our Aquaheat review. In my opinion there really only is 2 good camp showers on the market. Just depends what's more important, size and convenience or water temp and pressure.
      If size go the Aquaheat, if pressure then the Joolca.
      Good luck with the draw 😁

    • @franny5295
      @franny5295 Місяць тому

      ​@@Off.Track4x4Does that extra water pressure also mean the water goes faster? Because if you're next to a body of clean enough water that's great but if you have a finite amount of water, the water goes fast. My 5 gallon bucket bag gives me a 3.5min shower. How long would I have with the same amount of water?

    If you don’t measure you can’t manage.
    I need to know what the ambient water temperature was going into the Joolka -what temperatures were coming out after being heated at the different settings and to genuinely compare that with the previous unit you used to use.
    Not just what you reckon.😂
