Hi all. New here. I have 1970's caravan. It is sited in a field and is completeley off grid. I have a woodburner for hear and a solar panel to run 12 v led lights. At the moment a friend lets me fill up with water from an adjoining property. There is an empty room where I presume there was once a loo, but I would like to turn it into a shower room. I hear there is a gas shower that may work. Does anyone know anything about them? And can they be used via an aquaroll? Thanks.

Yes they can and usually are run from the Aquaroll.

Any caravan that has hot water will heat that water with a Gas & Electric Water Heater.
So your best bet to find one is at a Breakers Yard that breaks caravans.
You will also find the shower fitting there.

However, with its limited supply of water and its ability to heat that water fast, showering in a caravan is an art form and you should read up on the many topics on here as to how people do so.

Have a look at the Morco one (f11e I think) and uses gas only no electric required around £400 plus fitting which would require a gas engineer
Sorry this version DOES require power..

Hi, google Eccotemp L5 portable tankless water heater, they run off LPG and only use 2 'D' batteries to start ignition and will run off a 12 volt pump from the aquaroll.

Morco Water Heaters are for holiday homes and Park Homes and require a mains water system.
They are not suitable for touring caravans and they cannot be used from an aquaroll.

If the space you intend to use for a shower was originally a toilet only space, then you will have to have a sealed area there to use it as a shower.

It says in the blurb that this heater is for "outdoor use only".

So not suitable for inside a shower unit.
