Does anybody use a portable water heater that uses a 1 Lbs LP can?

Like the Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater.

I have a LOT of experience with Eccotemp products, I have used 2 L5's over the years and I have a L10 at my season site in the mountains. The L5 and L10 use a standard 20 lb tank and include a regulator in the package.

The L5 is more portable and has a lower flow rate, while the L10 is made to be permanently mounted somewhere and a higher flow rate.

They are extremely reliable and the company is great for support. If you ever have a problem, they will walk you through procedures over the phone. In one case when I had an issue with a water regulator, they Fedex Saturday delivery a replacement at no charge.

What did you pay for the L10?

I see the L5 from $119 - $149.

The L10 runs $249.00. It can run a flow rate of 2.5 gallons a minute and requires no electric. The unit is fired up from 2 D size batteries once it senses water movement.

Here is the unit mounted on the back of the deck at my seasonal site in the mountains.

That's heavy duty! I think that's a bit too much for our PU.

The L10 was originally sold and marketed to Horse farms to give the horses a hot shower. Later they modified it to remove the electrical requirements and sold it to people with small cabins, etc.

The L5 can work for a popup by hanging it on the outside of the trailer. The L5 kit includes a shower head. With a bit of flex tube you can pipe it inside your trailer.

On pup, Xolthrax did that.
