    Default Help, please. Know of a heat exchange water heater w/ about 2 gallons capacity?

    My EarthRoamer Jeep has a 15 liter (4 gallon) Isotemp Slim 15 water heater tank behind the passenger's seat. It heats the water off an engine heat exchanger and stores it in the insulated tank.

    That tank is about twice as big as I need and makes things more crowded than I'd like, but it seems to be the smallest available without going to a much smaller tank such as those available from Helton. Does anyone know of a unit that I could use to replace my tank with one about half the size?

    Thanks!

    Here's a 2.5gallon , but dimensionally it's not much smaller.

    How about a larger heat exchanger only, used without a tank?

    Perhaps have a look at the excellent Elgena Nautical Junior, which is available in two sizes, 6 litre and 10 litre.

    Elgena make a varied range of good quality units, with a 5 year warranty, which are very popular in europe.

    Hope this helps.

    Check with AT Overland. They sell and install a 6 liter electric water tank, may be the one listed above, and a similar unit that just heats off engine coolant.
