    On Board Hot Water Shower System

    Well that doesn't seem great. I'm trying to understand what happened and the factors of justrightbus's situation. That was essentially a home use situation in a tiny house. It was outside all the time. While I think "explode" and "blast" are a bit dramatic, they are not too far from what...

    On Board Hot Water Shower System

    eccotemp and propane The Eccotemp L5 does in fact work with a small 1 lb propane bottle. It needs a small adapter ~$10 but everything hooks up nicely. We have had many showers on it so far, and it is really nice. Not sure how many showers per 1lb bottle, but I heard about 2 hrs of water...
