Hi Jim. I did not. I put it here for continuity reasons. I will put it there as well. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi folks. Reviving this thread as unfortunately I need to sell my FJ Cruiser and the sleeping platform/galley/refrigerator system I built and described here. In case you are interested, please check out:

I still think the heat exchanger method I used and discussed above is best for all situations. Provided you have enough water, you can have unlimited amounts of very hot water for any purposes. The only drawback is you need to have your engine running while you are using a lot of hot water.

You are welcome! Let me know if you need any further information.

Hi Steeverino. Do you also have an FJ Cruiser? The measurements would obviously be vehicle-specific...

Hi folks! in case someone here is looking for a power station like the one I use, I just found out Jackery is having a site-wide sales promotion of 15% off for all Jackery product lines from October 18th to the 20th. I think it's their 9th anniversary. I have no financial interest on this at...

Thank you, Genocache! Yes, radiant heating is great in certain vehicles, although you will need a huge a mount of space for insulation. The the heat exchanger should would quite well for that setup, albeit while the engine is driving. Once you arrive at camp you will have a lot of residual heat...

Yes, I agree with this. In my original design there were some angle gussets I wanted that Tnutz did not have, but 80/20 did. But I found an alternative from Tnutz that works just as well for a fraction of the cost and hassle of ordering from two places.

That is so true, Grubworm. It's true that if you are out for a weekend you can get away with no shower, but any longer than that and it does become important to have. And of course it also depends on the weather and your activities. It's not the same to be in 50ºF weather or in 95ºF! In my case...

Contact Kevin at Overland Shower if you want to get the heat exchanger. He’ll set you up with a kit and assistance as well.

That is a great idea! I carry a tarp with me and perhaps I can improvise something like this in a pinch. I think I understand your setup, but if you have a chance it would be great if you post a photo.
