Hi Michael

I see the storage size, apart from very small tanks, rather as a matter of convenience for a project. Those who spend the construction phase using hot water certainly do not have very high demands. Then there is also the matter of considering the available space, which is not unlimited for hot water, and the issue with the available connection capacity.

My idea would be, for example, a 50-litre tank set to 45°C during the day and increased to up to 85°C shortly before showering. The usable volume then increases significantly.
This should be complemented with a shower thermostat and an efficient shower head to reduce large withdrawals in a short time and the associated mixing in the tank.

yes, I have been following that for several years. Regarding shower cabins, there is not much to find. Mostly (even in expensive vehicles) the showers seem somewhat improvised.

Hello Olli

As far as I could find out, a single shower requires at least 40 liters. With two people who have been digging around in the dirt on the construction site, there is a wish that both can shower within a short time. My hope was to find someone who can provide me with experience from a comparable situation (it could also be a holiday cabin).

Available connection capacity is not an issue insofar as our house is being newly connected and we will have the distribution center installed as soon as possible so that we already have water. We will inform the company about the caravan so that it should be executed accordingly.

Regards

Michael

Thank you for your answer. A boiler or rather an instantaneous water heater that is supposed to supply a shower easily draws 36 amps. And we cannot provide that on the remote property (24 amps are available). There is no gas either, and I don't want to carry bottles.

I consulted an electrician and he recommended a boiler to me.

Regards

Michael

I'm glad for the hint. Thank you. How thick should a Wedi board be if it is to be glued onto a substructure (three-layer board)? Do I still have to seal it before tiling? (Shower enclosure)

The heater also works with vehicle operation, that is at 12 V. In the technical data it is specified as 230 V / 1.3 A.

Have you even thoroughly dealt with the subject? My question as to why you don’t just invest in a caravan instead of spending a lot of money and time on a conversion has also not been answered yet.

An electrician does not necessarily have knowledge of the electrical items installed in camping trailers or motorhomes. Truma also offers boilers. They are well below your 24 A.

There are also specialized forums in the camping area, where you are better off with your questions about converting the vehicle.
